Pattern Extraction Process

Input: Configuration Set of Design Pattern Instances Output: Folders of Analyzable Design Pattern Instances Separated by Pattern Type, and Instance Number

Setup

1. Pattern Name <- Config.projName
2. Pattern Inst Base <- Config.instBase
3. Pattern Inst File <- Config.instFile

Analysis

4. Execute Java AI on Project
5. Execute Java Parser on Project

Pattern Extraction

6. Instances <- collect(Pattern Inst File)
7. for i in Instances do
   1. for each type identified in i do
      1. Find all types that connect to i via
         • Association (to/from)
         • Generalization (to/from)
         • Realization (to/from)
         • Usage (to/from)
         • add containing file to set Files
      2. create correct directory structure
   2. for all f in Files do
      1. copy f to the appropriate directory in new directory structure
   3. Add instance.xml file to directory structure

Pattern Instance Analysis Process

For the chain ending set of pattern instances

Input: study config Output: results file

Setup

1. Read in the configuration
2. InstancesBase <- config.instBase

Analysis

3. Execute Java AI
4. Execute Java Parser

Quality Analysis

5. Execute Basic Metrics
6. Run Maintainability Analysis
7. Run TD Analysis

Report Generator

8. Produce results.csv
