Systematic Change Impact Determination in Complex Object Database Schemata

Impact analysis is seen as an important technique for controlling the evolution of software systems. Numerous approaches have been proposed which aim to assess the impact of changes on many types of development artefacts. These techniques, although suitable for specific applications, contain inherent weaknesses, making them unsuitable for analysis of object database schemata. In this paper, we propose a novel hybrid technique, applicable to object database schemata, which overcomes many of these deficiencies.
