Abstract Maintainers of old code often need to discover where particular program features are implemented. This paper presents a method, called ‘software reconnaissance’ for answering this question through an analysis of the execution of different test cases. The method is quite easy to implement, requiring only a test coverage monitor, some simple tools, and a…
Abstract Reverse‐engineering is the process of extracting system abstractions and design information out of existing software systems. This process involves the identification of software artefacts in a particular subject system, the exploration of how these artefacts interact with one another, and their aggregation to form more abstract system representations that facilitate program understanding. This paper…
So-called little, or domain-specific languages (DSLs), have the potential to make software maintenance simpler: domain experts can directly use the DSL to make required routine modifications. On the negative side, however, more substantial changes may become more difficult: such changes may involve altering the domain-specific language. This will require compiler technology knowledge, which not every…
We suggest that empirical studies of maintenance are difficult to understand unless the context of the study is fully defined. We developed a preliminary ontology to identify a number of factors that influence maintenance. The purpose of the ontology is to identify factors that would affect the results of empirical studies. We present the ontology…
