Abstract

Systems, methods, and computer program products are provided for locating design patterns in software. An example method includes accessing a database having multiple artifacts corresponding to multiple software, and identifying a design pattern for at least one of the software files by automatically analyzing at least one of the artifacts associated with the software. Additional embodiments also provide for storing an identifier for the design pattern for the software in the database. For certain example embodiments, the artifacts include developmental, which may be searched for a string that denotes a design pattern, such as flaw, feature, or repair. Additional example embodiments also include finding in the software file a program fragment that implements the design pattern.

Description

[0001] Related application [0002] This application claims the benefits of U.S. Provisional Application No. 62 / 012,127 filed on June 13, 2014. The entire teachings of the aforementioned applications are incorporated herein by reference. [0003] governmental support [0004] The present invention was made with government support under the authorization number FA8750-14-C-0056 from the United States Air Force and FA8750-15-C-0242 from the Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency. The government has certain rights in this invention. Background technique [0005] Today, software development, maintenance, and repair are manual processes. Software vendors plan, implement, record, test, deploy, and maintain computer programs. The initial planning, implementation, documentation, testing, and deployment are often incomplete and always lack required features or contain defects. Many vendors have life cycle maintenance plans to address these deficiencies by introducing iterative bug fixe...
