One of the most important approaches that support software reuse is Component Based Software Engineering (CBSE). Nevertheless the lack of component libraries is one of the major obstacles to widely use CBSE in the industry. To help filling this need, many approaches have been proposed to identify components from existing object-oriented software. These approaches identify components from singular...
Frameworks are a fundamental reuse technique, but they are often hard to learn and reuse. Documentation approaches and tools supporting instantiation have been the main research subjects for addressing framework reuse difficulties. This paper introduces a new approach that starts from a more fundamental level - framework characteristics. These are shaped by programming and design techniques, and their...
A key aspect of architecture-centric development is the traceability of design documentation. In particular, architects should be always aware of the relationships between the architectural model “as documented” and its corresponding implementation model. The problem is that these two models usually diverge from each other over time, due to factors such as new requirements, refactorings, etc. Therefore,...
Several approaches are currently used in documenting object-oriented application frameworks. Traditional documentation approaches include tutorials, reference manuals, design patterns, cookbooks, and minimalist. The main objective of a framework is to dramatically reduce the time and effort needed in developing complete applications within a family of applications domain. Proper documentation is required...
In this paper, the authors investigate the usefulness of the knowledge regarding business processes for clarifying change requirements concerning the software systems supporting them. With this in mind, the correctness and completeness of the change requirement impact have been evaluated with and without the business process knowledge. Results of this preliminary empirical study are encouraging and...
