Mining Rational Team Concert Repositories: A Case Study On A Software Project

Software repositories are key to support the development of software. In this article, we present a Mining Software Repositories (MSR) approach that considered a two-year software project repository, set using the Rational Team Concert (RTC) tool. Such MSR was designed in terms of three main components: RTC data extraction, RTC data mining and design of RTC intelligence dashboard. In particular, we focus more on the data extraction component, although we also present mining and dashboard outcomes. Interesting results were achieved, revealing a potential of the proposed MSR to improve the software project planning/ development agility and quality.
