An Empirical Assessment of the Use of Execution Traces in Software Maintenance
2011 25th Brazilian Symposium on Software Engineering, 2011One of the most frequent problems faced by software maintainers is to find the location of the code related with specific features. This is a costly task because features tend to be scattered in the code. Considering this problem, several approaches for locating features using dynamic analysis have been developed.

Adapting system execution traces to support analysis of software system performance properties
Journal of Systems and Software, 2013UNITE is a method and tool that analyzes software system performance properties, e.g., end-to-end response time, throughput, and service time, via system execution traces. UNITE, however, assumes that a system execution trace contains properties (e.g., identifiable keywords, unique message instances, and enough variation among the same event types) to ...

Generating Software Documentation in Use Case Maps from Filtered Execution Traces
Lecture Notes in Computer Science, 2015One of the main issues in software maintenance is the time and effort needed to understand software. Software documentation and models are often incomplete, outdated, or non-existent, in part because of the cost and effort involved in creating and continually updating them. In this paper, we describe an innovative technique for automatically extracting

The Denotational Basis for Software Execution Tracing
Modelling, Identification and Control / 801: Advances in Computer Science, 2013Software execution tracing is a popular and effective technique, used to support a range of software engineering activities. Nevertheless execution tracing has rarely been the focus of study in its own right, although many case studies and applications have been described.

Software Evolution Aided by Execution Trace Alignment
2010 Brazilian Symposium on Software Engineering, 2010Several attempts to facilitate understanding the behavior of software systems have been proposed. Nonetheless, there is no widely accepted approach to facilitate understanding software systems with poor documentation with the goal that new developers could contribute with the evolution of these systems. The effort to understand complex systems may be a
