Abstract

We propose a novel strategy based on technological watch (TW) to identify the state-of-the-art techniques of software development projects. Taking as a starting point the data analysis of the GitHub platform using the VigHub tool, technological maps that describe the development and evolution of software projects, and perspectives of specific technologies are obtained. The proposed strategy was tested in a case study about virtual judge projects for programming. When analyzing the GitHub data, four main technological maps were obtained: programming languages, topic evolution timeline, successful projects, and successful users and organizations. This article shows how the use of the developed strategy supports the identification of the state-of-the-art software techniques. This facilitates the appropriate identification of ideas, source code, and tools that can support and improve the software development, expanding the creation of strategies to support the decision-making process on new development projects and technological inventions.
