Using latent semantic analysis to identify similarities in source code to support program understanding
The paper describes the results of applying Latent Semantic Analysis (LSA), an advanced information retrieval method, to program source code and associated documentation. Latent Semantic Analysis is a corpus-based statistical method for inducing and representing aspects of the meanings of words and passages (of natural language) reflective in their usage. This methodology is assessed for applic...
متن کاملApplying Reuse Contracts in a Product Line Approach Presented at the OOPSLA’98 Workshop on Object Technology and Product Lines
Introduction Our research on reuse contracts demonstrated how a better documentation of the dependencies between reusable assets and their reusers can help in managing the evolution of reusable assets and in achieving disciplined reuse. However, in trying to apply our results to product lines we still encounter multiple problems. This position paper shortly introduces reuse contracts and then r...
متن کاملA Review of Reverse Engineering Theories and Tools
Reverse Engineering is focused on the challenging task of understanding legacy program code without having suitable documentation. Using a transformational forward engineering perspective, the much of difficulty is caused by design decisions made during system development. Such decisions “hide” the program functionality and performance requirements in the final system by applying repeated refin...
متن کاملTowards Computational Tools for Supporting the Reflective Team
The content of engineering design documentation, beyond capturing the details of the design, communicates the shared knowledge integration of the design team. In this research, we present a method to analyze design documentation for levels of shared understanding and team cohesiveness in design teams by applying the computational tools of latent semantic analysis and natural language processing...
متن کاملAspects of Internal Program Documentation - An Elucidative Perspective
It is difficult and challenging to comprehend the internal aspects of a program. The internal aspects are seen as contrasts to end user aspects and interface aspects. Internal program documentation is relevant for almost any kind of software. The internal program documentation represents the original as well as the accumulated understanding of the program, which is very difficult to extract fro...
