Attributes for Characterizing Java Methods

초록

This paper proposes the list of attributes for characterizing Java Methods. The list consists of 67 attributes with three categories of vectors: a method signature, a behavior of a method and an association between the signature and the behavior. In addition, this paper introduces an approach to extracting the characteristic vector from the source code corpus, and presents representative vectors after examining all methods from 10 open source projects to show how well the vector characterizes the validity of method identifiers.
