Abstract

Software change requests are often formulated as requests to modify or to add a specific feature or concept. To implement these changes, the features or concepts must be located in the code. We describe the scenarios of the feature and concept location. The scenarios utilize a computer-assisted search of software dependence graph. Scenarios are demonstrated by a case study of NCSA Mosaic source code
