有助于程序理解的软件动态扇入扇出度量

In this paper,an approach to use run-time information to discover knowledge about software systems thus fa- cilitating program comprehension is presented.Some dynamic metrics based on traces of the subject system execution are proposed.A method of getting these dynamic metrics is introduced,in which instrumentation is implemented by using re- flective mechanism based on an open compiler.The system run-time information is captured during the instrumented system running and is then analyzed to get these dynamic metrics.A case study is given to illustrate the use of these dynamic metrics, i.e.,identifying critical components of the subject system.These critical components should be focus on user attentions in order to understand the subject system well.
