Debugging is a tedious and costly process that demands a profound understanding of the dynamic behavior of programs. Debugging aspect-oriented software is even more difficult: to ...
In this paper, we adopt a template matching method to detect design patterns from a software system by calculating their normalized cross correlation. Because design patterns docu...
By separating crosscutting concerns into modules, aspectoriented programming (AOP) can greatly improve the maintainability, understandability and reusability of software. However,...
Many testing and analysis techniques have been developed for inhouse use. Although they are effective at discovering defects before a program is deployed, these techniques are oft...
Atomicity is an important specification that enables programmers to understand atomic blocks of code in a multi-threaded program as if they are sequential. This significantly simp...
