Supporting Impact Analysis by Program Dependence Graph Based Forward Slicing

2007

Since software must evolve to meet the typically changing requirements, source code modifications can not be avoided. Impact analysis is one of the central and relatively demanding tasks of software maintenance. It is constantly needed while aiming at ensuring the correctness of the made modifications. Due to its importance and challenging nature automated support techniques are required. Theoretically, forward slicing is a very suitable technique for that purpose. Therefore, we have implemented a program dependence graph (PDG) based tool, called GRACE, for it. For example, due to the typical rewritings of Visual Basic programs there is a great need to support their impact analysis. However…
