Program slicing

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Under slicing (more precisely program slicing ) refers to the analysis of a computer program with the aim to find out which instructions of a program affect a particular instruction in a certain program point or be affected by it.

With static slicing , this analysis takes place independently of a specific start configuration, while with dynamic slicing it takes place for a specific start configuration.

Under Approximate Dynamic Slicing is to be understood that the entire program is not used for the method of Static Slicing, but only those parts of the program that were passed at a special launch configuration.
