Aspect mining is a reverse engineering process that aims at finding crosscutting concerns in existing systems. This paper describes an aspect mining approach making use of the results of reverse engineering, statechart diagram, to aid in the understanding of an object-oriented software system’s behaviors. An aspect based on the recovered statechart diagram is defined as a set of states and an event. These states will transit to the same state after they send the event. Finally, systematic experiment is conducted in the paper in order to verify the correctness and validity of this approach.

Mature engineering disciplines are generally characterized by accepted methodical standards for describing all relevant artifacts of their subject matter. Such standards not only enable practitioners to collaborate, but they also contribute to the development of the whole discipline. In 1994, Grady Booch, Jim Rumbaugh, and Ivar Jacobson joined together to unify the plethora of existing object-oriented systems engineering approaches at semantic and notation level (Booch, 2002; Fowler, 2004; Rumbaugh, Jacobson, & Booch, 1998). Their effort led to the Unified Modeling Language (UML), a well-known, general-purpose, tool-supported, process-independent, and industry-standardized modeling language for visualizing, describing, specifying, and documenting systems artifacts. Table 1 depicts the origin and descent of UML.
