Extracting Source Models from Java Programs: Parse, Disassemble, or Profile?
Ivan T. Bowman, Michael W. Godfrey, Richard C. Holt · 1999
Source models of software systems are often created during re-engineering to aid in performing tasks such as reachability analysis and software architecture recovery. It is therefore vital to be able to create source models that are both detailed and accurate. However, in practice the creation of these models is difficult and error prone: extraction tools often tell only part of the story.
