Software Evolution Understanding: Automatic Extraction of Software Identifiers Map for Object-Oriented Software Systems

Software companies usually develop a set of product variants within the same family that share certain functions and differ in others. Variations across software occur to meet different customer requirements. Thus, evolve overtime cope with new A engineer who deals this may find it difficult understand evolution scenarios have taken place over time. In addition, identifier names are important resources family. This paper introduces an automatic approach called Juana's detect scenario two at source code level identifies common unique code. refers as identifiers map computes by comparing each other. Juana considers all such package, class, attribute, method. The novelty is exploits variants, efficient way. For validity, was applied on ArgoUML Mobile Media variants. results evaluation validate relevance performance were correctly detected via map.
