JavaScript代码分析技术综述

A SURVEY ON JAVASCRIPT CODE ANALYSIS TECHNIQUES

作为2017年Git Hub上最受欢迎的语言,JavaScript以灵活高效等特性为网站的开发和展示带来了巨大变革,同时也带来了代码坏味道等潜在问题。因此,JavaScript代码分析对于理解和维护Web系统的前后端代码以及提升代码质量有重要的作用。但目前仍然缺乏针对JavaScript语言分析方法和研究目标的系统化综述。对1995年以来国内外会议和期刊论文进行调研,根据文献来源和主题选择了291篇高水平论文进行深入分析并进行分类。对其中与代码分析技术相关的语言特性、分析框架方法、维护重构等三类以及其他补充文献共计158篇论文进行了整理。论述当前用于JavaScript代码分析的主要方法和框架以及主要的研究目的,并对JavaScript代码分析研究现状与趋势进行梳理。

As the most popular language on GitHub in 2017,JavaScript has brought tremendous changes to the development and presentation of Web sites with its flexibility and efficiency,and has also brought potential problems such as bad code smell.Therefore,JavaScript code analysis plays an important role in understanding and maintaining the front-end and back-end code of Web systems and improving code quality.However,there is still a lack of systematic review of JavaScript language analysis methods and research objectives.We researched conferences and journal articles at home and abroad since 1995,and selected 291 high-level papers for further analysis and classification according to literature resources and theme.We also reviewed a total of 158 papers related to code analysis techniques,such as language features,analysis framework,maintenance and refactoring,and other supplementary literature.This paper discussed the main methods and frameworks for JavaScript code analysis and the main research purposes,and combed the current research situation and trend of JavaScript code analysis.
