An exploration and experiment tool suite for code to architecture mapping techniques
Pages 26 - 29
Abstract
Reflexion modeling can be used to validate that source code conforms to an intended architecture. However, it requires a mapping of source code modules (e.g., classes) to (software) architecture elements. We have developed a tool suite that allows for evaluation and exploration of automatic techniques to map source code modules to architecture elements. The suite includes a reusable core component and tools to define the architecture, define and run experiments with mapping strategies, and explore the results of these experiments. The experiments can be executed locally or in a remote high-performance computing environment.
