Forward computation of dynamic slices is necessary to support interactive debugging and online analysis of long running programs. However, the overhead of existing forward computi...
Different program slicing methods are used for debugging, testing, reverse engineering and maintenance. Slicing algorithms can be classified as a static slicing or dynamic slicing...
Dynamic slicing algorithms can greatly reduce the debugging effort by focusing the attention of the user on a relevant subset of program statements. Recently algorithms for forwar...
Static program slicing is often proposed for software maintenance-related tasks. Due to different causes static slices are in many cases overly conservative and hence too large to...
Program slicing is a well-known methodology that aims at identifying the program statements that (potentially) affect the values computed at some point of interest. Within imperat...
