Illustrating Object-Oriented Library Reuse by Example: A Tool-based Approach

Amir Michail, David Notkin

Abstract

The authors present a tool-based approach that examines how example programs reuse a particular library. The approach can facilitate reuse by: (1) guiding the developer towards important library classes of general utility; (2) guiding the developer towards library classes particularly useful for a specific application domain; and (3) providing access to the relevant source code in each example for further inspection. The approach is supported by CodeWeb, a reuse tool they have built for C++ and Java libraries.
