Repository analysis tools in teaching Software Engineering

Software Engineering is an important part of modern Communications Engineering education. In this paper a number of open-source tools for analysis of Subversion source code repositories are evaluated for purpose of determining individual developer contribution to a project. These tools are compared in the context of university bachelor level course in Software Engineering. Finally, they are used to measure actual projects developed by students during the length of course and compare their results with student self-reported time spent working on the project.
