“…The approach itself is independent of the way these models have been constructed and of the tools used to construct the models. As an example, the models used in our case study (Section 4) have been constructed using Nokia's reverse architecting toolset [12], which can be used to transform information included in source (and/or binary) code files into higher level models, e.g. UML.…”

A concern-based approach to support software comprehension and analysis is proposed. Concerns represent various aspects of a system, like features, architectural solutions, units of work, etc., which are interesting for some stakeholders. Using concern-based queries on the software artefacts, new derived information on the system can be exposed. The results of the queries are also represented as concerns and added to the concern repository. The approach thus supports the analyzer in gradually building up an understanding on the subject system to be analyzed.

“…For instance, the profiles also influence the model validation rules, model manipulation methods, and reverse engineering methods. Therefore, the tools used in this environment are designed and implemented to be customizable and modifiable, and new tools can be conveniently integrated in the environment [Rea04].…”

This paper proposes a UML-based software maintenance process.The process is guided by architectural descriptions and existing architectural models. The descriptions are given as variants of UML profiles describing the styles and rules relevant for a particular application domain. A reverse engineering subprocess, combining top-down and bottom-up reverse engineering activities, aims at constructing the architectural models. Resulting models are investigated in a model analysis subprocess. The models are checked against the profiles to find violations against the given architectural rules when maintaining and developing the subject system, and they are further analyzed using a set of UML model processing operations. The proposed approach is applied for maintaining a large-scale product platform architecture and real-life product-line products built on top of this platform. The model analysis results of the case study are discussed.

This paper presents our experiences in building a UML‐based approach for maintaining software products of a large‐scale industrial product family. It enables software architects to define rules and constraints for a product family architecture to be enforced on individual product architectures. The target system of our study was the Nokia ISA platform for a mobile phone product family, a complex software system comprising thousands of components and several million lines of code. We outline our approach and the accompanying tools, and report our experiences and lessons learned in assessing the architectural integrity of 10 ISA platform releases and the associated products.
