摘要
软件理解一直是软件维护阶段的瓶颈问题,它需要花费维护人员大量的时间和精力。在IC-CAD领域中,随着集成电路工艺技术的进步及电路系统集成度和复杂度的增加,该领域内的软件数目和复杂度也大幅度地提高,这更使维护该领域软件的工作变得日益繁重。本文所讨论的工具:ICSUT(IC-CAD Software Understanding Tool)提供了一个能够方便地帮助用户进行IC领域软件理解的环境。在ICSUT中,软件理解工作是通过查看理解环境所提供的一系列图示(VIEW)来进行的,这些图示从不同的方面揭示了外来软件的性质,它们采用了统一的人机界面和信息交互方式,使用户能够快速方便地获得自己所需要的信息并且在各种信息之间进行切换。
Software understanding is always the bottleneck of the software maintenance process, it cost software workers quantities of time. With the development of integrated circuit technology, the work of software maintenance in this field becomes more and more difficult.The tool ICSUT(IC - CAD Software Understanding Tool) discussed in this paper provides users with an environment helping them understand every kinds of IC software. The work of understanding is done through looking up the program views provided by ICSUT,which show the characters of different aspects of input software. The human - computer interactive techniques and the way of information exchange among the views are very simple and straightforward.
