Abstract

We propose an approach for computing relevant slices for feature-oriented programs. Our approach is based on an intermediate representation of the program called dynamic feature dependence graph (DFDG). We have named our proposed approach feature relevant slicing (FRS) algorithm. Our approach first computes the dynamic slice for a test case corresponding to the desired program location. Then, it determines the potential dependency for the desired program location, and eventually, it computes relevant slice using FRS algorithm.
