Three Levels Analytical Model for Monolithic Legacy Program Source Code Analysis

Abstract

Source code analysis has many different but related and connected perspectives. As per the requirement of each perspective, the program code has been analyzed by specific technique. No single technique is able to achieve the purpose and covers all aspects of analysis. It addresses issues that are coupled together to entail development concerns, that will directly or indirectly affect the functionality of the program. They are categorized with reference to their application in the program analysis process. This paper describes all those analysis techniques organized in three levels analytical model which are applied to analyze and enquire the source code and its different aspects.

Keywords: Monolithic, Source code, Program analysis, Walkthrough, Syntax analysis.
