Framework Environment for Understanding Object Oriented Techniques

Source code analysis does not provide enough information for the program understanding activities. Understanding object oriented software systems during software maintenance are difficult and take a considerable amount of time and cost. In software maintenance perspective reverse engineering process extracts information to provide visibility of the object oriented components and relations in the software that are essential for maintainers. Various tools have been developed to help maintainers undergo this process. One such tool is reverse engineering object Oriented program tool. In this paper, we provide a framework environment for object oriented programs. The framework focuses on the technical side of maintaining object-oriented program. This paper will discuss the development of the tool and highlight a scenario to show the viability of the tool by providing querying and browsing facilities.
