Abstract

Static analysis aims at recovering the structure of a software system, while dynamic analysis focuses on its run time behaviour. We propose a technique for combining the analysis of static and dynamic architectural information to support the task of architecture reconstruction. The approach emphasises the correct choice of architecturally significant concepts for the reconstruction process and relies on abstraction techniques for their manipulation. The technique allows the software architect to create a set of architectural views valuable for the architecture description of the system. To support our technique, we outline an environment that relies on hierarchical typed directed graphs to show the system's structure and message sequence charts for its behaviour. The main features of the environment are: visualisation of static and dynamic views, synchronisation of abstractions performed on the views, scripting support and management of the use cases. The approach and the environment are demonstrated with an example.
结合静态和动态视图进行架构重建
静态分析旨在恢复软件系统的结构,而动态分析侧重于其运行时行为。我们提出了一种结合静态和动态建筑信息分析的技术,以支持建筑重建任务。该方法强调在重建过程中正确选择架构上重要的概念,并依赖于抽象技术来进行操作。该技术允许软件架构师创建一组对系统的架构描述有价值的架构视图。为了支持我们的技术,我们概述了一个环境,该环境依赖于分层类型的有向图来显示系统的结构和其行为的消息序列图。该环境的主要特点是:静态和动态视图的可视化、在视图上执行的抽象的同步、脚本支持和用例管理。通过一个实例说明了该方法和环境。
