| Summary |
"Reverse Engineering of Object Oriented Code presents a unifying framework for the analysis of object oriented code. Using Unified Modeling Language (UML) to represent the extracted design diagrams, the book explains how to recover them from object oriented code, thereby enabling developers to better comprehend their product and evaluate the impact of changes to it. Furthermore, it describes the algorithms involved in recovering views and demonstrates some of the techniques that can be employed for their visualization. The presentation is fully self-contained." "This new state-of-the-art volume covers core methodologies for reverse engineering object oriented code, allowing for improved control in future code maintenance and modification. It is a significant resource for researchers and software engineers in the areas of reverse engineering, code analysis, object oriented programming, and UML. In addition, it will be invaluable as the reference book for advanced courses in these areas."--BOOK JACKET |
