abstract = {Many software production processes advocate rigorous
development testing alongside normal code writing,
which implies that both test code and production code
should co-evolve. To gain insight in the nature of
this co-evolution, this paper proposes three views
(realized by a tool called TeMo) that combine
information from a software project's versioning
system, the size of the various artifacts and the
test coverage reports. We validate these views
against two open source and one industrial software
project and evaluate our results both with the help
of log messages, code inspections and the original
developers of the software system. With these views
we could recognize different co-evolution scenarios
(i.e., synchronous and phased) and make relevant
observations for both developers as well as test
engineers.},
