By using UML(Unified Modeling Language),this parer proposed a relationshipbased modeling method to support modeling and extraction the information contained in the design stage of software development.A prototype system was implemented.The extracted design information can be used in software refactoring,testing,as well as in aspect-oriented programming. This approach is able to exploit the design phase semantic information and assist in software refactoring.
