Comparing graph-based program comprehension tools to relational database-based tools

In this paper we compare the experiences of applying the graph-based GUPRO approach to experiences in applying ANAUSoftSpec-an approach based on relational databases. We present the results of a case study in which GUPRO has been applied to a multi-language software system for stock trading (GEOS)....

Zusammenfassung:In this paper we compare the experiences of applying the graph-based GUPRO approach to experiences in applying ANAUSoftSpec-an approach based on relational databases. We present the results of a case study in which GUPRO has been applied to a multi-language software system for stock trading (GEOS). Comparing the results of the case study, with experiences of applying ANAL/SoftSpec to GEOS we show that the graph-oriented approach enables an efficient way of source code analysis and program understanding.
