A Method of Component Extraction Based on Function Dependence Graph

Geng Yang · Journal of Nanjing University of Posts and Telecommunications · 2010

Based on function dependence graph,we propose a method of component extraction in this paper.First,we discuss some relations of dependence in a function dependence graph as well as their representations in a graph.Then,A sub-graph will be generated by doing slicing operations to the function dependence graph which is generated through parsing the source codes.Combining the source codes and the sub-graph,the sliced codes which are the result of component extraction can be generated.we also propose a method of computing the degree of cohesion and coupling based on function dependence graph to evaluate the qualities of the sliced codes from the point of software metrics.Experiments prove that the sliced codes generated by the method in this paper are more efficient.
