Although it is claimed that, among other features, aspect-oriented programming (AOP)
increases understandability and eases the maintenance burden, this technology cannot …

Pointcut Descriptors (PCDs) are used to specify sets of program join points with a common
property where additional behavior should be applied. If PCDs are wrongly formulated …

When discussing faults, it is interesting to know what possible effects on program execution
those faults can have. The behavior of a program is bound by the control dependences and …

Aspect-based refactoring, called aspectualization, involves moving program code that
implements cross-cutting concerns into aspects. Such refactoring can improve the …

We argue that a fault model is needed for effective testing of AspectJ programs. As a starting
point for a fault model, we identify categories of pointcut-related fault types, propose a format …

Testing aspect-oriented programs is challenging in part because of the interactions between
the aspects and the base classes with which the aspects are woven. Coverage metrics, such …

Moving program code that implements cross-cutting concerns into aspects can improve the
maintainability of legacy systems. This kind of refactoring, called aspectualization, can also …

O teste de software tem se mostrado importante para reduzir a quantidade de defeitos
presentes nos produtos, atraindo o interesse tanto da academia quanto da indústria. À …

A Programaçao Orientada a Aspectos trouxe benefıcios para o desenvolvimento de
software e, como toda nova metodologia de desenvolvimento, novos desafios para a …

The primary claimed benefits of aspect-oriented programming (AOP) are that it improves the
understandability and maintainability of software applications by modularizing cross-cutting …
