Abstract

Reverse engineering involves a great deal of effort in comprehension of the current implementation of a software system and the ways in which it differs from the original design. Automated support tools are critical to the success of such efforts. It is shown how program slicing techniques can be employed to assist in the comprehension of large software systems, through traditional slicing techniques at the statement level, and through a new technique, interface slicing, at the module level.< >
