Abstract
A common practice followed by many application developers is to use existing framework applications as a guide to understand how to implement a framework-provided concept of interest. Unfortunately, finding the code that implements the concept of interest might be very difficult since the code might be scattered across and tangled with code implementing other concepts. To address this issue, this report presents an approach called FUDA (Framework API Understanding through Dynamic Analysis). The main idea of this approach is to extract implementation recipes of a given concept from runtime information collected when that concept is invoked in a number of different sample applications. For this purpose, we introduce a novel dynamic slicing approach named concept trace slicing and combine it with clustering and data mining techniques. The experimental evaluation of FUDA suggests that this approach is effective in producing useful implementation recipes for a given concept
