Rule-Based Change Impact Analysis Method in Software Development
Yiheng Wang, Jun J. Zhang, Yujing Fu · 2017
There are many stages in software development in which there are many changes.A rule-based change impact analysis method for software lifecycle objects was designed from the perspective of the whole software development process.The main ideas are as follows.Firstly, five types of entity dependency and change were introduced and the corresponding change propagation rules were designed.Secondly, a change impact analysis algorithm based on change propagation rules was proposed.Finally, the relevant simulation experiments were carried out to show the effectiveness of the algorithm.
