Change Impact Graphs: Determining the Impact of Prior Code Changes
2008
2008 Eighth IEEE International Working Conference on Source Code Analysis and Manipulation
The source code of a software system is in constant change. The impact of these changes spreads out across the software system and may lead to the sudden manifestation of failures in unchanged parts. To help developers fix such failures, we propose a method that, in a pre-processing stage, analyzes prior code changes to determine what functions have been modified. Next, given a particular period of time in the past, the functions changed during this period are propagated throughout the rest of
