Automatic Extraction of a WordNet-Like Identifier Network from Software

Résumé

Softwares are designed to be used a significant amount of time, therefore maintenance represents an important part of their life cycle. It has been estimated that a lot of the time allocated to software maintenance is spent on the program comprehension. Many approaches using the program structure or external documentation have been created to ease the program comprehension. However, another important source of information is still not widely used for this purpose: the identifiers. In this article, we propose an approach, based on Natural Language Processing techniques, that automatically extracts and organizes concepts from software identifiers in a WordNet-like structure: lexical views. Those lexical views give useful insight on an overall software architecture and can be used to improve results of many software engineering tasks. The proposal is validated on a corpus of 24 open source softwares.
