Context-sensitive Diagnosis of Quality Defects in OO Software Systems

flap text of the book

A part of software quality assurance is concerned with the diagnosis of defects, which decrease quality aspects of software systems, such as maintainability, reusability, portability, or performance. Concurrent approaches for defect diagnosis focus on post-development manual inspections of the software’s source code. The context-sensitive diag-nosis of quality defects is a new approach that is based on a quality model and integrates information on the context of a diagnosed element during software development (in-situ). This thesis proposes an ontology for quality defect re-presentation, a method for quality-oriented, in-situ, and context-sensitive quality defect handling, and a reference ar-chitecture for the development of extensible in-situ quality defect diagnosis tools.
