Improving Program Comprehension of Object-oriented Software Systems with Object-oriented Documentation
نویسنده
چکیده
Object-oriented programming has brought many advantages to the software engineering community. Especially, the reuse of existing software components and application frameworks has improved the productivity in software development considerably. Now, the object-oriented programming paradigm has advanced in years and increasingly object-oriented software systems have to be maintained. Program comprehension plays a major role in software maintenance. Additionally, the increased reuse of software components, which is propagated and supported by object-oriented programming, necessitates the understanding of existing software during development and, thus, program comprehension becomes even more important.

Objects Identification in Object-Oriented Software Development - A Taxonomy and Survey on Techniques
Analysis and design of object oriented is onemodern paradigms for developing a system. In this paradigm, there are several objects and each object plays some specific roles. Identifying objects (and classes) is one of the most important steps in the object-oriented paradigm. This paper makes a literature review over techniques to identify objects and then presents six taxonomies for them. The f...
متن کاملModelsaz: An Object-Oriented Computer-Aided Modeling Environment
Modeling and simulation of processing plants are widely used in industry. Construction of a mathematical model for a plant is a time-consuming and error-prone task. In light of extensive advancements in computer science (both hardware and software), computers are becoming a necessary instrument in industrial activities. Many software tools for modeling, simulation and optimization of proces...
متن کاملDeclarative Semantics in Object-Oriented Software Development - A Taxonomy and Survey
One of the modern paradigms to develop an application is object oriented analysis and design. In this paradigm, there are several objects and each object plays some specific roles in applications. In an application, we must distinguish between procedural semantics and declarative semantics for their implementation in a specific programming language. For the procedural semantics, we can write a ...
متن کاملOn Attributes of Objects in Object-Oriented Software Analysis
One of the modern paradigms to develop a system is object oriented analysis and design. In this paradigm, there are several objects and each object plays some specific roles. There is a sequence of activities to develop an analysis model. In the first step, we work in developing an initial use case model. Then in the second step, they identify a number of concepts and build a glossary of partic...
متن کاملRecovering High-Level Views of Object-Oriented Applications from Static and Dynamic Information
Recovering architectural documentation from code is crucial to maintaining and reengineering software systems. Reverse engineering and program understanding approaches are often limited by the fact that (1) they propose a fixed set of predefined views and (2) they consider either purely static or purely dynamic views of the application. In this paper we present an environment supporting the gen...
