Implementing Tool Support for Effective...

In this paper, we describe the implementation of the web-based QuASE tool aimed at supporting effective stakeholder communication in software development. The motivation for conducting the QuASE project aimed, in part, at producing the proof-of-concept implementation of this tool lies in the fact that the communication-related information available in the project repositories (such as Jira databases) is not always managed properly and is not made available for analysis during software development lifecycle. The tool supports the scenarios of managing the understandability of communicated information, the reusability of that information, and the quality of decisions based on that information. The tool is implemented following three-tier architecture, we introduce the tiers defined for this architecture and outline the implementation of the components comprising these tiers.
