A Fast Algorithm to Locate Concepts in Execution Traces. Medini, S., Galinier, P., Di Penta, M., Gu�h�neuc, Y., & Antoniol, G.

Paper  abstract   bibtex   The identification of cohesive segments in execution traces is a important step in concept location which, in turns, is of paramount importance for many program-comprehension activities. In this paper, we reformulate the trace segmentation problem as a dynamic programming problem. Differently to approaches based on genetic algorithms, dynamic programming can compute an exact solution with better performance than previous approaches, even on long traces. We describe the new problem formulation and the algorithmic details of our approach. We then compare the performances of dynamic programming with those of a genetic algorithm, showing that dynamic programming reduces dramatically the time required to segment traces, without sacrificing precision and recall; even slightly improving them.
