Software change impact analysis (CIA) is a technique for identifying the effects of a change,
or estimating what needs to be modified to accomplish a change. Since the 1980s, there …

The widespread use of object-oriented languages and Internet security concerns are just the
beginning. Add embedded systems, multiple memory banks, highly pipelined units …

Current slicing techniques cannot handle systems written in multiple programming
languages. Observation-Based Slicing (ORBS) is a language-independent slicing technique …

Observation-based slicing is a recently-introduced, language-independent slicing technique
based on the dependencies observable from program behaviour. Due to the well-known …

Problem decomposition into sub-problems or subgoals and recomposition of the solutions to
the subgoals into one complete solution is a common strategy to reduce difficulties in …

ABSTRACT A highly efficient lightweight forward static slicing approach is presented and
evaluated. The approach does not compute the program/system dependence graph but …

Observation-based slicing and its generalization observational slicing are recently-
introduced, language-independent dynamic slicing techniques. They both construct slices …

We present Dads, the first distributed, online, scalable, and cost-effective dynamic slicer for
continuously-running distributed programs with respect to user-specified budget constraints …

Observation-based slicing is a recently-introduced, language-independent slicing technique
based on the dependencies observable from program behavior. The original algorithm …

We propose a regression test case prioritization technique for object-oriented programs. We
first construct an intermediate graph model of a program from its source code. When the …
