Slicing Aspect-Oriented Software

چکیده
Program slicing has many applications in software engineering activities including program comprehension, debugging, testing, maintenance, and model checking. In this paper, we propose an approach to slicing aspect-oriented software. To solve this problem, we present a dependencebased representation called aspect-oriented system dependence graph (ASDG), which extends previous dependence graphs, to represent aspect-oriented software. The ASDG of an aspect-oriented program consists of three parts: a system dependence graph for non-aspect code, a group of dependence graphs for aspect code, and some additional dependence arcs used to connect the system dependence graph to the dependence graphs for aspect code. After that, we show how to compute a static slice of an aspect-oriented program based on the ASDG.

Program slicing is a decomposition technique which has many applications in various software engineering activities such as program debugging, testing, maintenance etc. Aspect-oriented programming (AOP) is a new programming paradigm that enables modular implementation of cross-cutting concerns such as exception handling, security, synchronization, logging etc. The unique features of AOP such as...
متن کاملExtending Program Slicing in Aspect-Oriented Programming with Inter-Type Declarations
Program slicing can be very useful for understanding and debugging aspect-oriented programs. Program slicing is a common technique, but it is not trivial to use in aspectoriented programming. Current implementations of slicing tools lack support for features of popular aspect-oriented languages. This paper proposes a detailed algorithm for the construction of an aspect-oriented system dependenc...

While developing a software system, the complexity in describing a problem should be reduced. This can be done by separating the concern in a clean and explicit way. Each of the concern can be addressed by partitioning a software system into modules. Concerns are clearly identifiable with a special linguistic construct called Aspects, which has been introduced by a new programming paradigm know...
متن کاملProgram Slicing Tool for Effective Software Evolution Using Aspect-Oriented Technique
One of the issues in software evolution is debugging. Debugging large and complex software systems evolved requires a lot of effort since it is very difficult to localize and identify faults. Therefore, reducing the effort of debugging process is an important step towards efficient software evolution. Program slicing, especially dynamic slicing, has been proposed to efficiently localize faults ...
متن کاملAn Approach for Computing Dynamic Slice of Concurrent Aspect-Oriented Programs
We propose a dynamic slicing algorithm to compute the slice of concurrent aspect-oriented programs. We use a dependence based intermediate program representation called Concurrent Aspect-oriented System Dependence Graph (CASDG) to represent a concurrent aspect-oriented program. The CASDG of an aspect-oriented program consists of a system dependence graph (SDG) for the non-aspect code, a group o...
