ABSTRACT:
Change propagation has mainly been estimated by maintenance history or source code analysis. However, sometimes history and code are inaccessible, or impractical to analyse, such as for heterogeneous sources.
Domain-based change impact analysis is a novel methodology for analysing change propagation in software using only the domain-level behavioural model of a system. Such a method is independent of formal architectural representations and practical for software systems with heterogeneous subsystems, or missing or undocumented source code.
This presentation reports on application of domain-based analysis to a significant (enterprise) system, and compare the results of performed both domain analysis and a well known history-based analysis. Like history-based approaches, domain based analysis reveals coupling between software components, can assist to prevent errors in software maintenance, and predict change propagation.
