Abstract
The method and system is called I-FAR: Interactive, Facet-based Architecture Recovery. Inspired by the idea that each system feature, pattern, or concern may have its own design space, the method defines a “facet” as a set of files that have one primary purpose, such as the implementation of a feature or the management of a cross-cutting concern such as performance, security, logging, etc.
Claims4
A system for recovering programming architecture from source code, comprising:
- source code processing, wherein the first stage processes the source code of a software system;
- uses hierarchy calculation, wherein calculates its uses hierarchy;
- and
- facet calculation, wherein the system outputs facet clusterings that reveal how the selected facets were implemented.
