ABSTRACT

In this paper, we describe a Software Reconnaissance method for locating product features in code. The University of West Florida has provided a public domain Reconnaissance tool for C and C++. Characteristics of the Ada programming language present new interesting issues related to the development of a similar tool for Ada Reconnaissance, particularly its use in embedded systems, multi-tasking systems, and systems with real-time constraints. We describe our on-going efforts to develop a public domain Ada Reconnaissance tool.
