Applying Dynamic Analysis in a Legacy Context: An Industrial Experience Report
Andy Zaidman, Bram Adams, Kris De Schutter · 2005
This paper describes our experiences with applying dynamic analysis solutions with the help of Aspect Orientation (AO) on an industrial legacy application written in C. The purpose of this position paper is two-fold: (1) we want to show that the use of Aspect Orientation to perform dynamic analysis is particularly suited for legacy environments and (2) we want to share our experiences concerning some typical pitfalls when applying any reverse engineering technique on a legacy codebase. 1.
