dc.description.abstract
Research in schema evolution has been driven by the need for more effective
software development and maintenance. Finding impacts of schema changes on the
applications and presenting them in an appropriate way are particularly
challenging. We have developed a tool that finds impacts of schema changes on
applications in object-oriented systems. This tool displays components
(packages, classes, interfaces, methods and fields) of a database application
system as a graph. Components potentially affected by a change are indicated
by changing the shape of the boxes representing those components. We have
evaluated the tool by own judgement on a real-life application and by a
controlled student experiment. Our results indicate that identifying impacts
at the level of fields and methods can reduce the time needed to conduct
schema changes and reduce the number of errors compared with identifying
impacts at the level of classes. Moreover, the subjects of the experiment
appreciated the idea of visualizing the impacts of schema changes.
