Git-Based Integrated Uncertainty Manager

Abstract

Nowadays, many software systems are required to be updated and delivered in a short period of time. It is important for developers to make software embrace uncertainty, because user requirements or design decisions are not always completely determined. This paper introduces iArch-U, an Eclipse-based uncertainty-aware software development tool chain, for developers to properly describe, trace, and manage uncertainty crosscutting over UML modeling, Java programming, and testing phases. Integrating with Git, iArch-U can manage why/when/where uncertain concerns arise or are fixed to be certain in a project. In this tool demonstration, we show the world of uncertainty-aware software development using iArch-U. Our tool is open source software released from http://posl.github.io/iArch/.
