Analysis of Java programs using Joana and Java SDG API

JOANA (Java Object-sensitive Analysis) and Java SDG API are analysis frameworks available for analyzing Java programs for different applications. Now a days, the continuous evolution of the customer expectations and requirements has resulted in the increase of size of the software. Due to which the difficulties in maintaining software are increasing. Both Joana and Java SDG API consist of a variety of analysis techniques based on dependence graph generation and computation of slices of an input program. In this paper, we make a comparative analysis study on the effectiveness and efficiency of both these above mentioned analysis frameworks in generating the corresponding intermediate dependence graph and computing slices. The analysis is based on the bytecode of the program under consideration. The experimental analysis shows that Joana can be extended for various diverse applications.
