Evaluating the Impact of Refactoring of Class Hierarchies for Software Maintenance Phyu, Hnin Pwint Nyunt, Thi Thi Soe The class hierarchy is an important step of anobjected-oriented software development.Designing and maintaining the class hierarchyfor reverse engineering is a difficult task.However, Formal Concept Analysis (FCA) is astrong tool which provides a natural theoreticalframework for class hierarchy design andmaintenance because it can guarantee maximalfactorization while preserving specializingrelationships. Relational Concept Analysis(RCA), an extension of FCA, is an efficientapproach to allow dealing with entities describedby binary attributes and by relations with theother entities. Moreover, object-oriented designmetrics are essential part of softwareenvironment. So, our proposed system consists oftwo main tasks. First, we propose an approachfor refactoring class hierarchy in object-orienteddesign with the theoretical strength of FCA andRCA. Next, we focus on a set of object-orienteddesign metrics that can be used to evaluate theimpact of the resulted object-oriented design. 2011-05-05 http://hdl.handle.net/20.500.12678/0000003517 https://meral.edu.mm/records/3517
