Abstract

Software is a crucial component of many products and often is a product in itself. Software artifacts are typically developed for particular needs. Often, identifying software variants is important for increasing reuse, reducing time and costs of development and maintenance, increasing quality and reliability, and improving productivity. We propose a method for utilizing variability mechanisms of Software Product Line Engineering (SPLE) to allow identification of variants of software artifacts. The method is based on an ontological framework for representing variability of behaviors. We demonstrate the feasibility of the method on two common variability mechanisms – specialization and template instantiation. The method has been implemented using reverse engineered code. This provides a proof-of-concept of its feasibility.

Fußnoten
1
Note that for simplicity, we assume that the similarity measure returns a Boolean value, 0 (different) or 1 (similar), rather than a range of values indicating the degree of similarity. In the method implementation, we realized the similarity measure by ranges and thresholds.
 
2
By ‘up to the similarity measure’ we mean that for each pair of components of either shallow or deep behavior descriptors, A and B, B includes A means that for each element a ∈ A there is an element b ∈ B, such that sim(a, b) = 1.
 
3
PDG explicitly represents the data and control dependencies of a program.
 
4
We assume that in order to make the code comprehensible attributes and operations have meaningful names (potentially including several words separated by underscores or capital letters).
