Abstract
A solution for managing errors in software applications is proposed. Typically, the software application is represented (during its analysis and design phases) by means of different models—for example, of the UML type. The same models are also exploited to represent the impact of any errors in the software application. For this purpose, during the analysis and design phase, it gets determined the artifacts of the models that are directly impacted by each error (since it occurred in an object that participates in their implementation); the artifacts correlated thereto either directly or indirectly—are set as indirectly impacted by the error. It is then possible to display a diagram corresponding to the model, with the directly and indirectly impacted artifacts that are highlighted with different colors.
