Generalization of leaner object-oriented slicing
Rob Law · ACM SIGSOFT Software Engineering Notes · 1998
The Leaner Object-Oriented Slicing technique in [2], albeit effective in providing further code reduction from an object-oriented slice, fails to handle an object-oriented slice with multiple inheritance nets. That is, an object-oriented slice in a tree form with multiple branches is beyond the ability of leaner object-oriented slicing. This paper proposes a new approach which extends the applicability of code reduction by leaner object-oriented slicing. A generalized leaner object-oriented slicing method can now be achieved which provides further code reduction for general object-oriented slices.
