Software Architecture Discovery and Design Pattern Detection from Data

During the execution of software systems, tremendous amounts of data are recorded. These data can provide us valuable insights into the actual software architecture, interaction behavior and usage of the observed software by various analysis techniques. To help understand the detailed design and runtime architecture of a software system, this book presented a bunch of techniques and tools to analyze software execution data from the following two perspectives: (1) software architectural model discovery; and (2) design pattern detection.
