Program Slicing Techniques and their Need in Aspect Oriented Programming
Preeti Sikka, Kulwant Kaur · International Journal of Computer Applications · 2013
Analysis of various studies has proved the importance of applying program slicing on the source code while debugging, testing, quality assurance, software measurement and maintenance by extracting out the code irrelevant to criteria on behalf of which program slicing is applied, without affecting the relevancy in the information of the code.Program slicing techniques has been upgraded by its different types emerged to overcome the limitation of its previous types with different types of dependence graphs, criteria and on different types of programming paradigm with different types of tools.Paper highlights the effectiveness of hybrid slicing over static and dynamic slicing using case study for applying different types of slicing on same program.Paper also discusses the Aspect Oriented Programming and the areas where it has been proved better than object oriented programming and upholds the need for applying hybrid slicing on Aspect Oriented Program.
