Abstract

Due to the proliferation of object-oriented software development, UML software designs are ubiquitous. The creation of software designs already enjoys wide software support through CASE (Computer-Aided Software Engineering) tools. However, there has been limited application of computer reasoning to software designs in other areas. Yet there is expert knowledge embedded in software design artefacts which could be useful if it were successfully retrieved. While the semantics tags are an important aspect of a class diagram, the approach formulated here uses only structural information. It is shown that by applying case-based reasoning and graph matching to measure similarity between class diagrams it is possible to identify proprieties of an implementation not encoded within the actual diagram, such as the domain, programming language, quality and implementation cost. The practical applicability of this research is demonstrated in the area of cost estimation.
