Mining Aspects from Version History

DOI 10.1109/ase.2006.50 dblp

Abstract

Aspect raining identifies cross-culling concerns in a program, to help migrating it to an aspect-oriented design. Such concerns may not exist from the beginning, but emerge over time. By analysing where developers add code to a program, our history-based aspect mining (BAM) identifies and ranks cross-cutting concerns. We evaluated the effectiveness of our approach with the history of three open-source projects. BAM scales up to Industrial-sized projects: for example, we were able to identify a locking concern that cross-cuts 1284 methods in Eclipse. Additionally, the precision of HAM increases with project size and history: for Eclipse, it reaches 90% for the top-10 candidates
