Study finds folder structure most impactful for code-to-architecture mapping

A new study published on arXiv investigates which aspects of code representation are most effective for mapping source files to architectural modules. Researchers found that representations encoding dependency information generally outperform purely lexical ones. Incorporating folder-aware information yielded the most significant and consistent improvements across various graph neural network configurations, although a simple directory rule achieved high accuracy on its own. The study suggests that careful consideration of existing file representations and directory structures is crucial before attributing gains solely to graph neural networks. AI

IMPACT This research could inform the development of more efficient code analysis and understanding tools by highlighting the importance of structural and dependency information.

    What Carries Architectural Signal? A Code-to-Architecture Mapping Study

    arXiv:2610.41628v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Code-to-architecture mapping assigns source files to modules of a reference architecture. Representations of implementation artifacts can capture code text, dependencies, and directory organization, but predictive gains alone do n…
