Feature identification is a technique to identify the source code constructs activated when exercising one of the features of a program. We propose new statistical analyses of static and dynamic data to accurately identify features in large multithreaded object-oriented programs. We draw inspiration from epidemiology to improve previous approaches to feature identification and develop an epidemiological...
Design patterns are important in software maintenance because they help in designing, in understanding, and in re-engineering programs. The identification of occurrences of a design pattern consists in identifying, in a program, classes which structure and organisation match - strictly or approximately - the structure and organisation of classes as suggested by the design pattern. We express the problem...
The paper recasts the problem of feature location in source code as a decision-making problem in the presence of uncertainty. The main contribution consists in the combination of two existing techniques for feature location in source code. Both techniques provide a set of ranked facts from the software, as result to the feature identification problem. One of the techniques is based on a scenario based...
This report summarises the content and results of the 1st International Workshop on Design Pattern Theory and Practice, held during the 3rd IEEE Software Technology and Engineering Practice workshop series (STEP'05), in Budapest, Hungary, on the Morning of the 25th of September 2005. The main goals of the workshop was to define open practical problems in the field of software engineering related to...
