Static analysis of Lyee requirements

摘要

Software development has been suffering, for many decades, from the lack of simple and powerful methodologies and tools. Despite the tremendous advances in this research field, the crisis has still not been overcome and the proposed remedies are far from resolving the problems of software development and maintenance. Lately, a new and very promising methodology, called Lyee, has been proposed. It aims to automatically generate programs from simple user requirements.The purpose of this paper is, on the one hand, to provide a short and technical introduction to the Lyee methodology, and on the other hand, to show how some classical static analysis techniques (execution time and memory space optimization, typing, slicing, etc.) can considerably improve many aspects of this new methodology.
