This paper describes a tool that can be used to identify conceptual roles associated with program variables and groups of related variables representing relationships in problem domain. The analysis performed by the tool has two levels. The lower-level program-centric analysis is independent of the problem domain. The program-centric analyzers extract syntactic and semantic information about program variables. The results are stored as an XML repository to enable their reuse by other tools. The higher-level analysis is knowledge-centric and customized to make effective use of domain knowledge. To allow our tool to be adaptable to different domains, we provide a customizable rule-based analysis mechanism. To illustrate our tool and the underlying approach, we present simple illustrative examples and a complete case study based on a real-world program. This tool is a part of SeeCORE, a knowledge-centric software engineering environment currently, being developed in our research laboratory.","PeriodicalId":385190,"journal":{"name":"International Conference on Software Maintenance, 2002.

In organizations where developers are involved in the maintenance and evolution, system degeneration is even more likely to occur. We have experimented with a process for detecting deviations from the intended design. The process is a quick and inexpensive process that helps to keep the system architecture from veering off course from the planned design. It is expected to improve maintainability over time. The paper describes our evaluation process, the metrics used and presents results of applying the process in a case study. The case study illustrates the difficulty involved in detecting deviations without a systematic approach. The process used to evaluate the architecture is general and straightforward. We believe the process can be reused in other contexts.","PeriodicalId":385190,"journal":{"name":"International Conference on Software Maintenance, 2002.

While several methodological and technological proposals for developing Web applications are coining both from industry and academia, there is a general lack of methods and tools to carry out the key processes that significantly impact the quality of a Web application (WA), such as the validation & verification (V&V), and quality assurance. Some open issues in the field of Web application testing are addressed in this paper. The paper exploits an object-oriented model of a WA as a test model, and proposes a definition of the unit level for testing the WA. Based on this model, a method to test the single units of a WA and for the integration testing is proposed. Moreover, in order to experiment with the proposed technique and strategy, an integrated platform of tools comprising a Web application analyzer, a repository, a test case generator and a test case executor, has been developed and is presented in the paper. A case study, carried out with the aim of assessing the effectiveness of the proposed method and tools, produced interesting and encouraging results.","PeriodicalId":385190,"journal":{"name":"International Conference on Software Maintenance, 2002.

Both classification and retrieval tasks are based on functional similarities according to structural and semantic closeness. To this effect, we define four partial orderings among reusable components and different measures to quantify functional differences among them. By using these measures we are able to offer an approximate and efficient retrieval, without formal proofs, and to predict adaptation efforts to satisfy the required functional specification. This paper focus on semantic similarities as they are more remarkable in vertical reuse, that is, the reuse of software within same domain or application area.","PeriodicalId":385190,"journal":{"name":"International Conference on Software Maintenance, 2002.

In this paper, we recall some well-known methods for measuring problem complexity in data manipulation and highlight the interest in arriving at a new definition of complexity. Up to now, the concept of effort has always been associated with complexity. This definition has the advantage of dissociating effort and complexity, referring instead to the characteristics and intrinsic properties of the software itself. Our objective is to propose some simple and practical approaches to the measurement of some of these characteristics which we consider particularly relevant and to incorporate them into a functional size measurement method.","PeriodicalId":385190,"journal":{"name":"International Conference on Software Maintenance, 2002.

An important approach to reduce maintenance costs is therefore to improve software testability The improvement efforts should concentrate on those parts of a software system that cause the most severe problems during testing and maintenance. This paper describes a new approach to testability improvement focusing on system structure. We identify dependencies that are critical for testing, i.e. test-critical dependencies, based on a set of testability metrics. The results of four case studies show that (1) a small subset of the dependencies within a system has an exceedingly high impact on particular testability metrics, (2) conventional coupling metrics are not good predictors of these test-critical dependencies, (3) dependencies automatically identified to be test-critical are good indicators of design that needs improvement.","PeriodicalId":385190,"journal":{"name":"International Conference on Software Maintenance, 2002.

Use of the tool within the software testing and release sub-process is outlined. The paper argues that (i) for metrics to be properly integrated into a software process requires tool support; (ii) tools must support heterogeneous systems often involving multiple programming languages to be useful in commercial development environments and (iii) given the immaturity of current complexity metrics, tools must be adaptable so that new metrics can readily be incorporated to best support the software process. Using an object oriented programming language meta-model in its database schema, the tool provides a flexible architecture facilitating support for new object oriented programming languages and metrics with relative ease. We believe these are essential requirements for measurement tools used in environments of constantly improving software processes indicative of high maturity organisations.","PeriodicalId":385190,"journal":{"name":"International Conference on Software Maintenance, 2002.
