摘要：Program understanding is an important aspect in Software Maintenance and Reengineering.Understanding the program is related to execution behaviour and relationship of variable involved in theprogram. The task of finding all statements in a program that directly or indirectly influence the value foran occurrence of a variable gives the set of statements that can affect the value of a variable at some pointin a program is called a program slice. Program slicing is a technique for extracting parts of computerprograms by tracing the programs’ control and data flow related to some data item. This technique isapplicable in various areas such as debugging, program comprehension and understanding, programintegration, cohesion measurement, re-engineering, maintenance, testing where it is useful to be able tofocus on relevant parts of large programs. This paper focuses on the various slicing techniques (not limitedto) like static slicing, quasi static slicing, dynamic slicing and conditional slicing. This paper also includesvarious methods in performing the slicing like forward slicing, backward slicing, syntactic slicing andsemantic slicing. The slicing of a program is carried out using Java which is a object orientedprogramming language.
