Abstract :
Maintenance of unused features leads to unnecessary costs. Therefore, identifying unused features can help product owners to prioritize maintenance efforts. We present a tool that employs dynamic analyses and text mining techniques to identify use case documents describing unused features to approximate unnecessary features. We report on a preliminary study of an industrial business information system over the course of one year quantifying unused features and measuring the performance of the approach. It indicates the relevance of the problem and the capability of the presented approach to detect unused features.
