vreAnalyzer
vreAnalyzer is a research project with the goal of analyzing variability and extracting variants for product line use. In general, vreAnalyzer provides following analysis for a system in Java/.class based: call graph, control-flow graph, context-aware pointer analysis and binding-resolve.
Instead of analyzing each variant for each feature combination in isolation, vreAnalyzer parses the entire source code containing all variability in a variability-aware fashion. By checking the context, pointer environment and other binding information, vreAnalyzer could return a list of potential variant indifferently.
Installation, Dependency, and Usage
Dependencies: Graphviz, supporing libs for Hadoop. To cope with all types of application using Hadoop, you have to get a collections of all Hadoop libs are input depenencies. Please notice that Soot is already covered in our application. Please notice that, I have raise an issue that soot cannot work with Java 8 code in the forum. I do not know whether this has been resolved yet. Please try code in Java 7 or earlier for safty concern. In vreAnalyer, some graphs are provided to improve understanding of application, please download Graphviz(an open source graph visualization software) to suppor that function.
Usage: As a GUI tool, it would easy to follow. We will provide an online tutorial video later on.
