The tail of two source-code analysis tools - Learning and experiences
0 likes109 views
The document discusses two source-code analysis tools, Augur and Designite, highlighting their features such as change impact analysis, querying capabilities, and detection of design and implementation smells. It also addresses challenges in bridging the gap between academia and industry, emphasizing the importance of user requirements and effective information dissemination. The author shares insights on the selection of parsing mechanisms and the necessity for extensibility in analysis tools.

• Change Impact Query Language (CIQL)
o For large scale batch querying – opening a new set
of applications of CIA
CIQL::get “<Granularity (Impact)>”
[within “<Scope>”]
[with “<Depth>”] where
“<Entity>” is
“<Granularity>”.](https://image.slidesharecdn.com/decafthetailoftwotools-171030134258/85/The-tail-of-two-source-code-analysis-tools-Learning-and-experiences-5-320.jpg)
