Recovery of User Interface Web Design Patterns using Regular Expressions
Journal Title: International Journal of Advanced Computer Science & Applications - Year 2018, Vol 9, Issue 4
Abstract
User Interface Web Design Patterns are standard solutions for the development of web applications. The recovery of these patterns from web applications supports program comprehension, reusability, reverse engineering, re-engineering, and maintenance of legacy web applications. The recovery of patterns from web applications becomes arduous due to the heterogeneous nature of web applications. Authors presented different catalogs and recovery approaches for extracting User Interface Web Design Patterns from source code in last one and half decade. There is still a lack of formal specifications for web design patterns, which are important for their recovery from source code. The objective of this paper is to specify User Interface Web Design Patterns (UIWDP) using semiformal specification technique and use these specifications for the recovery of patterns from the source code of web applications using regular expressions. 55 feature types are identified for the specification of 15 UIWDPs. We evaluated our approach on 75 randomly selected web applications and recovered 15 UIWDPs. The standard deviation, precision, recall and F-score measures are used to evaluate the accuracy of our approach.
