- Abstract
Legacy codes are changed in software maintenance processes to introduce new functionality, modify existing features, eliminate bugs etc. or by refactorings while the main original properties and the behaviour of the system should be preserved. Developers apply regression testing with highest degree of code coverage to be sure about it, and thus they retest the software after some modifications. Our research focuses on impact analysis of changes in applications written in the dynamically typed functional programming language, Erlang. To calculate the affected program parts, we use dependence graph based program slicing, therefore we have defined the Dependence Graphs with respect to the semantics of Erlang. Applying the results, we may shrink the set of test cases selected for regression testing for ones which are affected by the changes.
