The role of design patterns in forward engineering is well known, also if it's not easy to use them, since large experience is needed. Different approaches and tools have bee...
Identifying and fixing defects is a crucial and expensive part of the software lifecycle. Measuring the quality of bug-fixing patches is a difficult task that affects both func...
Abstract—Object-oriented (OO) software is usually organized into subsystems using the concepts of package or module. Such modular structure helps applications to evolve when faci...
A software obfuscator is a program O to transform a source program P for protection against malicious reverse engineering. O should be correct (O(P) has same functionality with P)...
In reverse engineering, parsing may be partially done to extract lightweight source models. Parsing code containing preprocessing directives, syntactical errors and embedded langu...
