Automatically Redocumenting Source Code with Method and Class Stereotypes

Abstract

The tool implements an approach that automatically derives and redocuments source code with the corresponding method and class stereotypes. The stereotype of each method is first computed via static analysis and a set of definitions. Then the class stereotype is computed based on the distribution of method stereotypes. The approach is fully automatic and highly scalable. It uses the srcML infrastructure to do the analysis and insertion of the stereotype information into the code.
