Research Summary
Software must evolve over time or it becomes useless. Unfortunately, over time, software systems become more complex and increasingly difficult to understand and change to meet new business requirements. An understanding gap has grown between what is known, useful, and available information about the system and what needs to be known to make changes.
Developing reverse engineering environments
Software reverse engineering is a process that aids in a better understanding of software architecture and behavior, and ultimately to improved software reuse and design. One approach is to develop and refine programmable reverse engineering tools that produce a graph-based software representation and visualization. These tools require a well-designed integration of software analysis, repository, and/or graphics technologies. In particular, we have been refining a domain-specific language for reverse engineering activities, focused on usability and performance.
Also, the reverse engineering process has typically been ad hoc and not repeatable. As soon as a new version of the software arrives, the analysis may need to be reworked. We are exploring ways in supporting traceability from code to abstractions and back, for continuous program understanding. One approach is to record and replay the reverse engineering actions underlying every abstraction and view.
A long-term goal is to integrate reverse engineering practices into the software development process, rather than as a last hope to redocument an ailing legacy software project.
Evaluating and adopting software tools
Software tool builders need to better understand the issues underlying the effective use of their tools by individuals and organizations. Evaluation is needed through various techniques, such as case studies, experiments, and guidelines. We have conducted user experiments and ran case studies in industrial settings to evaluate the effectiveness of software exploration tools. Also, we are considering perceptual factors, cognitive issues, and interoperability as influences upon tool adoption.
Evaluation and adoption need to be ongoing concerns of software engineering researchers, to produce effective tools that provide meaningful benefits to their users.
Software models, source code analysis, clustering, and architecture recovery
Reverse engineering tools depend on effective fact extraction and software analysis techniques. Subsystem abstractions may be identified through various clustering strategies. We have recently focused on Java analysis and visualization techniques that integrate control and data dependencies through a hybrid UML collaboration and activity diagram. We use techniques such as XML markup over source code and representing dependency graphs using GXL, an XML-based exchange format for graphs. The applicability and interplay of markup and graph representations is an interesting research question.
The maturation of reverse engineering as a discipline and community depends in part on standards, benchmarks, and robust components for building tools.
Software process and software evolution
Besides understanding the structure of software products and systems, it is also important to investigate the software development process. The history of source code changes made to a software system can be mined for insights into team-based development practices, architectural evolution, and design rationale. We hypothesize that early, regular, and disciplined changes will lead to a better product. This work has been supported by two IBM Eclipse Innovation grants.
Trying our software engineering research tools in educational settings is a useful way to achieve impact and gain feedback in a relatively controlled setting.
Diverse system understanding and evolution
The diversity of programming languages and platforms used in modern software systems today creates significant understanding, evolution, and management challenges. Software developers have moved far beyond support for a single language or platform, and are in urgent need of multi-language, multi-platform tools. What is needed is a more comprehensive whole-system representation and visualization that embraces the reality of diversity. That is, beyond analyzing each individual part as an island, these analyses need to be connected together or bridged to create a fuller, more integrated picture.
We are devising rules and recognizers for various software interoperability mechanisms that cross language boundaries. It is useful to know how control and data is transferred in these boundaries, as is typical for programmable systems with embedded interpreters or for Web applications. This work is supported by an IBM Eclipse Innovation grant.
System diversity is inevitable, and we need effective ways to understand and manage this complexity.
Web and mobile platforms
Like legacy systems, Web-based applications are heterogeneous, complex, and need to be maintained. Reverse engineering issues becoming increasingly complex, such as dealing with languages like Perl. There are significant challenges in analyzing these systems because of their highly dynamic nature. In addition, we are exploring the software evolution challenges of dealing with mobile, handheld, and net-centric platforms. Another issue is looking at the migration challenges of moving existing systems toward the paradigms of autonomic and on-demand computing.
The modern platforms of today become the legacy platforms of tomorrow; we need to better understand these technologies to build the next generation of practical reverse engineering and software evolution tools.
Industrial connections and opportunities
Software engineering research does not happen in a vacuum. I am a principal investigator in the Consortium for Software Engineering Research (CSER). I am currently working with CA in Toronto. In the past, we have worked with IBM Canada in Toronto, klocwork Solutions in Ottawa, and Intuit Canada in Edmonton.
