ABSTRACT:
Analysis, planning and interrelated modifications of a software system across modular architectural, language and documentation levels are automated and facilitated by use of the Change Assistant (CA). CA automatically analyzes the impact of the intended change on all levels, identifying related changes that may be needed to achieve the programmer's goal. When the plan is finalized and approved, CA automatically performs the change, modifying the code, as needed, to make it consistent with the changed architecture. Thereby, the need for human intervention in maintaining software is significantly reduced and the possibility of error minimized.
