As a result of this rapid growth there is a need to better understand the relationships between the different parts of a large software system. In this paper we present a reverse engineering framework called Columbus that is able to analyze large C++ projects, and a schema for C++ that prescribes the form of the extracted data. The flexible architecture of the Columbus system with a powerful C++ analyzer and schema makes it a versatile and readily extendible toolset for reverse engineering. This tool is free for scientific and educational purposes and we fervently hope that it will assist academic persons in any research work related to C++ re- and reverse engineering.","PeriodicalId":385190,"journal":{"name":"International Conference on Software Maintenance, 2002.

We assume that designs are represented using the Unified Modeling Language (UML) and we propose a formal mapping between design changes and a classification of regression test cases, i.e., three categories: reusable, retestable, and obsolete. We provide evidence of the feasibility of the methodology and its usefulness by using our prototype tool on an industrial case study.","PeriodicalId":385190,"journal":{"name":"International Conference on Software Maintenance, 2002.

They are usually tailor-made for a specific customer and language dependent. Maintaining similar reengineering for multiple customers and different language dialects may, therefore, soon become problematic unless advanced language technology is used. Generic pretty-printing is part of such technology and is the subject of this paper. We discuss specific pretty-print aspects of software reengineering such as fulfilling customer-specific format conventions, preserving existing layout, and producing multiple output formats. In addition, we describe pretty-print techniques that help to reduce maintenance effort of tailor-made reengineering supporting multiple language dialects. Applications such as COBOL reengineering and SDL documentation generation show that our techniques, implemented in the generic pretty-printer GPP, are feasible.","PeriodicalId":385190,"journal":{"name":"International Conference on Software Maintenance, 2002.

One reason for these problems is imprecise and inefficient approaches to analyze the impact of changes. This thesis proposes a precise and efficient impact analysis approach that focuses on functional system requirements changes of embedded control systems. It consists of three parts: (1) a fine-grained conceptual trace model, (2) process descriptions of how to establish traces and how to analyze the impact of changes, and (3) supporting tools. Empirical investigation shows that the approach has a beneficial effect on the effectiveness and efficiency of impact analyses and that it supports a more consistent implementation of changes.","PeriodicalId":385190,"journal":{"name":"International Conference on Software Maintenance, 2002.
