Mining Change Traces from Versioned UML Repositories
Carlos Dantas, Leonardo Gresta Paulino Murta, Cláudia Maria Lima Werner · 2007
As software evolves, analysis and design models should be modi fied, correspondingly. In this scenario, one of the main problems is to detect which elements should be changed due to a given change. This paper presents an approach that applies data mining over a versioned UML repository in or der to detect change traces among model elements at different abstraction lev els. These traces are presented to the software engineer together with context information obtained from SCM systems and used within CASE tools. We also present the results of a retrieval performance evaluation of our approach, which are promising.
