Feature location in source code: a taxonomy and survey

Feature location is the activity of identifying an initial location in the source code that implements functionality in a software system. Many feature location techniques have been introduced that automate some or all of this process, and a comprehensive overview of this large body of work would be beneficial to researchers and practitioners. This paper presents a systematic literature survey ...

A Survey and Taxonomy of Location Systems for Ubiquitous Computing

Emerging mobile computing applications often need to know where things are physically located. To meet this need, many different location systems and technologies have been developed. In this paper we present a the basic techniques used for location-sensing, describe a taxonomy of location system properties, present a survey of research and commercial location systems that define the field, sho...

A Survey of Feature Location Techniques

Feature location techniques aim at locating software artifacts that implement a specific program functionality, a.k.a. a feature. These techniques support developers during various activities such as software maintenance, aspector featureoriented refactoring, and others. For example, detecting artifacts that correspond to product line features can assist the transition from unstructured to syst...
