Are Forward Designed or Reverse-Engineered UML diagrams more helpful for code maintenance?: A family of experiments
2015
Information and Software Technology
Preserved Fulltext
Objective: Our objective is to provide empirical evidence as to which UML diagrams are more helpful during software maintenance: Forward Designed (FD) UML diagrams or Reverse Engineered (RE) UML diagrams ...
Subjective opinions also lead us to recommend the use of UML diagrams (especially class diagrams) created during the design phase for software maintenance because they improve the understanding of the ...
The authors would like to thank the students who have cooperated in the experiments. ...

As a result, models are often unavailable or inconsistent with the implementation. An option is reverse engineering them from the source code, but again this does not come at no cost. ...
When models are available, users spend more time on them and less time on the source code, so that the overall time required is not significantly different from that for the control groups. ...

Specifically, we are interested in visualizing metrics on several levels of detail (classes, methods, groups of classes) on UML-like diagrams in a scalable and intuitive way. ...
Software architecture diagrams and metrics are wellknown and heavily used in many areas in software engineering. However, they are rarely combined in one (visual) representation. ...
In such activities as forward and reverse engineering, reengineering, and maintenance, software architects need to easily correlate several metrics with the system structure. ...
