Software Architecture of Code Analysis Frameworks Matters: The Frama-C Example
@inproceedings{Signoles2015SoftwareAO, title={Software Architecture of Code Analysis Frameworks Matters: The Frama-C Example}, author={Julien Signoles}, booktitle={F-IDE}, year={2015} }
Implementing large software, as software analyzers which aim to be used in industrial settings, requires a well-engineered software architecture in order to ease its daily development and its maintenance process during its lifecycle. If the analyzer is not only a single tool, but an open extensible collaborative framework in which external developers may develop plug-ins collaborating with each other, such a well designed architecture even becomes more important.
In this experience report, we…
