چکیده

|Understanding the high-level structure of a software system is useful for determining the impact of proposed changes. In this paper, we investigate techniques for recovering the high-level structure, or software architecture, for cases in which no trusted architectural description exists. We then demonstrate how a scenario-based approach to architectural evaluation can be used to document the impact of proposed changes on a software system. Architectural recovery and impact analysis are demonstrated using a case study comparing two graphical debuggers, xdbx and ups.
