“…This model includes hierarchical displays for presenting class inheritance, control-flow programme dependencies and file dependencies. ProDAG (Richardson et al, 1992) is an implementation-level dependence analysis tool for Ada and C++ programmes. PRoDAG is an analysis toolset that provides an application programmatic interface for programme dependence analysis, direct and indirect data dependence, direct and indirect strong control dependence, direct and indirect weak control dependence, strong syntactic dependence and weak syntactic dependence.…”

“…These extracted dependency information can be used in the testing and maintenance of the software and also in the software reengineering. Researchers have proposed several dependency analysis tools (Kittilä, 2008;Stafford et al, 1997;Richardson et al, 1992;Najumudheen et al, 2010) for an object oriented programme. Considerable amount of work have been done in the area of representing programmes into dependency graphs but it requires further extension on already existing techniques.…”

This work presents 'design and development of a dependency analysis tool (DA-OOP) for an object oriented programme'. The proposed tool is capable of supporting generation of different dependency views of an object oriented programme. Dependency analysis of conventional software use traditional techniques of programme dependency representation. As far as OOP software is concerned, its specific features like classes, objects, inheritance relationships, encapsulation, polymorphism, overloading etc. should also be considered. An object oriented programme may observe dependencies among namespaces, classes, functions and variables. The main contribution of this work is to develop a dependency analysis tool for an object-oriented programme that will extract all possible dependencies of an OOP programme. The proposed tool 'DA-OOP' depicts the dependency information in form of text view, matrix view and graph view of an object oriented programme. The outcomes of the tool may be efficiently utilised in testing and maintenance of an object oriented programme.

Software architecture description languages provide a means to formally describe software systems at a high level of abstraction. They capture the high-level structure and/or behavior of the system, thus providing a basis for course-grain static analyses. Dependence analysis has been used as a basis for program optimization, debugging, and testing. We are developing a dependence analysis technique, called chaining, for use with formal architectural descriptions, and implementing the technique in a tool called Aladdin.

Program slicing is a technique to identify statements that may influence the computations in other statements. Despite the ongoing research of almost 25 years, program slicing still has problems that prevent a widespread use: Sometimes, slices are too big to understand and too expensive and complicated to be computed for real-life programs. This thesis presents solutions to these problems: It contains various approaches which help the user to understand a slice more easily by making it more focused on the user's problem. All of these approaches have been implemented in the VALSOFT system and thorough evaluations of the proposed algorithms are presented. The underlying data structures used for slicing are program dependence graphs. They can also be used for different purposes: A new approach to clone detection based on identifying similar subgraphs in program dependence graphs is presented; it is able to detect modified clones better than other tools. In the theoretical part, this thesis presents a high-precision approach to slice concurrent procedural programs despite that optimal slicing is known to be undecidable. It is the first approach to slice concurrent programs that does not rely on inlining of called procedures.
