Abstract

Alborz is a multi-view, interactive, and wizard-based software architecture reconstruction and evaluation toolkit that takes advantage of the Eclipse plug-in technology to provide feature extensibility, and uses GXL format to interoperate with other reverse engineering tools. The current version of Alborz toolkit supports static and dynamic views of a software system. For the static view, the toolkit extracts the structure of a software system using wizard-guided forms that allow to define the high-level view of the system. The static view represents abstract components and connectors which are then mapped onto the low-level source graph to find approximate matching within the software system. For the dynamic view, the toolkit extracts high-frequent execution patterns by running feature specific task scenarios on the software system. Subsequently, the implementations of the software features in the source code are identified as a means to evaluate the structure of software. The toolkit will be available as an Eclipse plug-in to serve the software reverse engineering community

一个交互式工具箱，用于提取软件系统的静态和动态视图

Alborz是一个多视图、交互式和基于向导的软件体系结构重构和评估工具包，它利用Eclipse插件技术提供特性可扩展性，并使用GXL格式与其他逆向工程工具进行互操作。当前版本的Alborz工具包支持软件系统的静态和动态视图。对于静态视图，工具包使用向导引导的表单提取软件系统的结构，这些表单允许定义系统的高级视图。静态视图表示抽象组件和连接器，然后将它们映射到低级源图上，以在软件系统中找到近似的匹配。对于动态视图，工具包通过在软件系统上运行特定于特性的任务场景来提取频繁的执行模式。随后，将源代码中软件特性的实现识别为评估软件结构的一种手段。该工具包将作为Eclipse插件提供，以服务于软件逆向工程社区
