Abstract
Interpretation [12], Dynamic Analysis [10], Partial Evaluation [8] and Static and Dynamic Feature Analysis [1] are some examples of such posterior techniques. Posterior techniques are difficult to apply; time consuming and costly while writing down and representing understanding information at the time of programming can take relatively less effort and yet prevenient approaches are notoriously incomplete. Normark [7] suggests that there are four important deterrents that prevent programmers writing the detailed documents at the time of programming: 1. The program comment problem Long explanations and comments mixed with source code decreases program readability. 2. The program-documentation relation problem If the documentation is kept in a separate file there must be a comprehensive and easy to use mechanism to relate source code components with corresponding explanations.
