TL;DR: To assess a new programming technique called aspect-oriented programming, this work chose to apply both a case study approach and a series of four experiments because it wanted to understand and characterize the kinds of information that each approach might provide.

TL;DR: This project is assessing the claims of aspect-oriented programming to improve the software development cycle for particular kinds of applications, and three experiments have been designed to investigate, separately, such characteristics of aspect -oriented development as the creation of new aspect- oriented programs and ease of debugging aspects-oriented programs.
Abstract: Aspect-oriented programming is a new software design and implementation technique proposed by researchers at Xerox PARC. This project is assessing the claims of aspect-oriented programming to improve the software development cycle for particular kinds of applications. The project is divided into three experiments, the first of which has been completed. These experiments have been designed to investigate, separately, such characteristics of aspect-oriented development as the creation of new aspect-oriented programs and ease of debugging aspect-oriented programs.

TL;DR: This paper provides an overview of the experiments designed to investigate such characteristics of aspect-oriented development as the creation and ease of debugging programs built in this style.
Abstract: The aspect-oriented programming approach claims to make it easier to reason about, develop, and maintain certain kinds of application code while maintaining highly efficient code. To better understand the usefulness and usability of the aspect-oriented approach, we have been conducting a series of experiments. These experiments are designed to investigate such characteristics of aspect-oriented development as the creation and ease of debugging programs built in this style. This paper provides an overview of the experiments we have conducted to date.
