“…Dynamic data flow analysis techniques has been proposed by Chen and Low, and Boujarwah et al for runtime verification of C++ and Java programs respectively [CL95,BSAD00]. These techniques monitor data events during a program execution to detect data flow anomalies, such as usage of variables before their initialization, or killing definitions of values which were never used before the kill.…”

“…Dynamic data flow analysis in functional programs was investigated by Huang [26] and extended to Object-Oriented programs by Chen [13] and Boujarwah [11]. It is part of dynamic information flow analysis [34] and dynamic program slicing [6], and it is used in testing [24], debugging [5], impact analysis [7], detection of bugs [15], detection of security risks [14], and so forth.…”

In this paper, we study the hidden dependencies that are a special kind of data flows. They play an important role in software maintenance and evolution because they propagate changes among the classes and they are hard to detect. We propose a technique that finds hidden dependencies ation that is filtered using dynamically generated preconditions and postconditions. We show that these hidden dependencies exist even in well-structured software, like the open source programs JUnit, Drawlets, and Apache FtpServer. We also discuss the precision of this technique.

“…It has mainly been used for testing procedural programs, but has been extended to object-oriented programming languages as well [24,25]. Since the goal of those approaches is to detect improper sequences on data access, they do not capture how objects are passed through the system, nor how read and write accesses relate to method executions.…”

To extract abstract views of the behavior of an object-oriented system for reverse engineering, a body of research exists that analyzes a system's runtime execution. Those approaches primarily analyze the control flow by tracing method execution events. However, they do not capture information flows. We address this problem by proposing a novel dynamic analysis technique named Object Flow Analysis, which complements method execution tracing with an accurate analysis of the runtime flow of objects. To exemplify the usefulness of our analysis we present a visual approach that allows a system engineer to study classes and components in terms of how they exchange objects at runtime. We illustrate and validate our approach on two case studies.
