  • Automation support for domain modeling
    Patent number: 8707250
    Abstract: A domain model generator (DMG) for an integrated development environment (IDE) guides a software engineer through a process of identifying domain-specific concepts for a domain of an object-oriented software application. The DMG also helps the engineer to classify the domain-specific concepts as pertaining to particular object-oriented modeling concepts for the object-oriented software application. Those modeling concepts may include classes, attributes, inheritance, etc. In addition, the DMG may automatically generate a Unified Modeling Language (UML) domain diagram, based at least in part on the domain-specific concepts and the corresponding modeling concepts. Other embodiments are described and claimed.

  • Recovery and representation of object interaction in an object oriented program
    Patent number: 7426716
    Abstract: A process and system are provided for representing object interactions, by means of a sequence diagram or the like, wherein the object interactions are recovered from source code written in Java or other object-oriented programming language. Initially, a Method Information Parser determines the respective methods declared inside the source code and extracts their names. A Method Detail Parser then extracts the method calls to other objects within a method, to resolve each complex method call into multiple lines of single method calls. Information derived from the multiple lines of single method calls is then used to generate the sequence diagram.
