Dynamic software updating (DSU) is the act of modifying software without stopping its execution. DSU is employed to preserve the high availability in the deployed software systems. Although significant investigations have been conducted on static analysis (SA) to determine DSU errors, no particular study exists that explores the effects of SA for dynamic software updating. The objective of the study presented in this paper is to explore the effects of static analysis for DSU. In this exploration, four evaluation metrics were declared including the number of update operations, the number of violations, the cyclomatic complexity, and the patch size. Also, a novel framework was introduced and 18 versions of baseline target programs were employed to explore the effects of static analysis for DSU. The results have explained that static analysis can detect violations of DSU. It may affect the complexity of the new versions of the target programs and having optimization can further reduce those violations. In addition, the results show that the SA may change the number of update operations and the patch size for DSU. Overall, the results have proved that SA for dynamic software updating could affect the complexity of the target programs, the number of update operations, and the patch size. Furthermore, this exploration has offered a novel framework and four evaluation metrics for measuring the effects of static analysis for DSU. INDEX TERMS Dynamic software updating, program analysis, static analysis.

Dynamic software updating (DSU) is shifting gears to modify software systems without a halt. Even though extensive research has been conducted on DSU, it is necessary to synthesise and map the results of recent studies on DSU for prospective research highlights. This study aims to highlight the current state‐of‐the‐art, to recognise trends, and to identify existing open issues in DSU. A systematic mapping study (SMS) was conducted with a set of six research questions. A total of 1066 papers published from 2005 to 2019 were recorded. After a filtering process, 112 primary studies were selected and inspected. This study highlights the current state‐of‐the‐art of DSU including approaches, tools, models, and techniques. Also, this study outlines application domains, research type, and contributions type facets in DSU. In addition, this study demonstrates benchmarks, datasets, evaluation metrics, and existing open issues for future research in DSU. The results of this investigation can be used to highlight current state‐of‐the‐art of DSU, to show trends of DSU, and to demonstrate existing open issues in DSU.
