Patent number: 11579851Abstract: This disclosure relates generally to the field of source code processing, and, more particularly to a method and system for identification of redundant function-level slicing calls. The method disclosed generates program dependence graphs (PDGs) based on a slicing criteria and a function corresponding to the function-level slicing call. Further the method classifies the function-level slicing call into redundant or non-redundant by traversing the PDGs and checking if a predefined condition is satisfied or not. The function-level slicing calls are classified as redundant if the check is not satisfied and are classified as non-redundant if the check is satisfied. The disclosed method can be used in identifying redundant function-level slicing calls in applications such as automated false positive elimination (AFPE), automated test case generation and so on.Type: GrantFiled: September 20, 2021Date of Patent: February 14, 2023Assignee: Tata Consultancy Services LimitedInventor: Tukaram Bhagwat Muske
