Tools for Understanding the Behavior of Telecommunication Systems
Many methods and tools for the reengineering of software systems have been developed so far. However, the domain-specific requirements of telecommunication systems have not been addressed sufficiently. These systems are designed in a process- rather than in a data-centered way. Furthermore, analyzing and visualizing dynamic behavior is a key to system understanding. In this paper, we report on tools for the reengineering of telecommunication systems which we have developed in close cooperation with an industrial partner. These tools are based on a variety of techniques for understanding behavior such as visualization of link chains, recovery of state diagrams from the source code, and visualization of traces by different kinds of diagrams. Tool support has been developed step by step in response to the requirements and questions stated by telecommunication experts at Ericsson Eurolab Germany.
