Program slice has many applications such as program debugging, testing, maintenance, and complexity measurement. A static slice consists of all statements in program P that may effect the value of variable v at some point p , and a dynamic slice consists only of statements that influence the value of variable occurrence for specific program inputs. In this paper, we concern the problem of dynamic slicing of object oriented programs which, to our knowledge, has not been addressed in the literatures. To solve this problem, we present the dynamic object oriented dependence graph (DODG)which is an arc classified digraph to explicitly represent various dynamic dependence between statement instances for a particular execution of an object oriented program. Based on the DODG, we present a two phase backward algorithm for computing a dynamic slice of an object oriented program.
