Abstract

This article presents a conceptual framework consisting of tools capable of extracting historical data about software evolution from source code repositories, defects and software development processes. The tools that compose the framework were obtained in a systematic mapping process. A proof of concept was carried out where data were extracted on defects in projects of SINAPAD (National System of Processing of High Performance) that has projects in the area of ​​computing. The data extracted were also analyzed, aiming to answer some questions relevant to the project. In the end, it was possible to evaluate the use of the framework GiveMe Metrics (GMM) in the extraction of data about defects.
