Experimental Evaluation of Inferring Software Description Using Project Corpus

Abstract (in Japanese) (See Japanese page) 
(in English) Software developed in the past is gradually discontinued over time.However, the source code of such software contains a lot of information that can be reused and has high asset value, so understanding the characteristics of existing software can be utilized when developing new software.In a previous study, we proposed a method for inferring the outline of an existing system using a project corpus ($corpus_{Pj}$), and conducted preliminary experiments to verify its feasibility. The results are as follows. As a result, it was found that $corpus_{Pj}$ can be used to infer the purpose, function, and technology of a system.In this paper, we confirm the validity of $corpus_{Pj}$ from a viewpoint that has not been examined in previous studies.We set three verification items and conduct an experiment in which we use $corpus_{Pj}$ to infer the function of the system, the technology used in the system, and the outline of the system.From the results of the experiment, we confirmed that the guessing of the project depends on two factors: first, the $corpus_{Pj}$ correctly reflects the information of the system, and second, the respondents' knowledge of the words in the corpus.
