Abstract
In this thesis a new method for lightweight impact analysis is presented. A tool that supports the new method is described and applied in a real world setting. The results of this case study are described. This technique differs from existing approaches in that it involves the straightforward application of a tool already in use (configuration management) and is not overly cumbersome for the development team. The case study consists of the design, creation and implementation of the tool with before and after comments from the participants. The findings indicate that the developers involved in the study feel that such a tool can help with impact analysis during the maintenance phase of a project.
