Abstract
Many of software engineering tools and systems are focused to monitoring source code quality and optimizing software development. Many of them use similar source code metrics to solve different kinds of problems. This inspired us to propose an environment for platform independent code monitoring, which supports employment of multiple software development monitoring tools and sharing of information among them to reduce redundant calculations. In this paper we present design of an architecture of the environment, whose main contribution is employing (acquiring, generating and processing) information tags - descriptive metadata that indirectly refer source code artifacts, project documentations and developers activity via document models and user models. Information tags represent novel concept unifying traditional content based software metrics with recently developed activity-based metrics. We also describe prototype realization of the environment within project PerConIK (Personalized Conveying Information and Knowledge), which proves feasibility and usability of the proposed environment.
