Abstract
Object-oriented database management system (DBMS) technology promises to meet the requirements of software systems in which large amount of complex stored and computed data with rich interconnections are shared by multiple interactive tools. Software analysis and maintenance is such a software system. Analyzing and maintaining a large amount of code is an essential but very expensive and time-consuming activity in large corporations. A software analysis and maintenance system called SAMS is being developed to apply object-oriented DBMS technology to provide a solution to the problem of analysis and maintenance of a large amount of code. SAMS is a system with an object-oriented model-based architecture. SAMS tools semiautomatically construct an object-oriented model of software from the specifications of programming languages and software domain models. This object-oriented model is realized by a commercial object-oriented DBMS and is automatically populated by objects that compose the software systems under maintenance. Various analysis and maintenance tools are implemented as the methods of the persistent objects in the database and therefore are fully integrated. The approach, architecture, and an overview of the functionality of SAMS are presented. Experiences in using object-oriented DBMS technology to develop large sophisticated systems such as SAMS are discussed.
