RIPPLES: tool for change in legacy software
Kunrong Chen, V. Rajich · 2002
Key parts of software change are concept location and change propagation. We introduce a tool called RIPPLES that supports both. It uses the Abstract System Dependence Graph (ASDG) of the program, enriched by conceptual dependencies. A case study of NCSA Mosaic demonstrates the use of the tool. Precision and recall are used to evaluate the quality of support provided by RIPPLES.
