Abstract—Change coupling is the implicit relationship between two or more software artifacts that have been observed to frequently change together during the evolution of a softw...
The process of software reverse engineering commonly uses an extractor, which parses source code and extracts facts about the code. The level of detail in these facts varies from ...
Refactorings are program transformations which should preserve the program behavior. Consequently, we expect that during phases when there are mostly refactorings in the change hi...
When trying to reverse engineer software, execution trace analysis is increasingly used. Though, by using this technique we are quickly faced with an enormous amount of data that ...
