Alborz: An Interactive Toolkit to Extract Static and Dynamic Views of a Software System
: Alborz is a multi-view, interactive, and wizard-based software architecture reconstruction and evaluation toolkit that takes advantage of the Eclipse plug-in technology to provide feature extensibility, and uses GXL format to interoperate with other reverse engineering tools. The current version of Alborz toolkit supports static and dynamic views of a software system. For the static view, the toolkit extracts the structure of a software system using wizard-guided forms that allow to define the high-level the system. The static view represents abstract components and connectors which are then mapped onto the low-level source graph to find approximate matching within the software system. For the dynamic view, the toolkit extracts high-frequent execution patterns by running feature specific task scenarios on the software system. Subsequently, the implementations of the software features in the source code are identified as a means to evaluate the structure of software. The toolkit w...
