Demo Plan

Aim:
- Give a live demonstration of the query languages for two use cases: Covariant Arrays assignments & Overloaded Methods sharing single type
We need to build minimum vertical to make this possible. This consists of the following milestones:
1) Create a database representation of a Java program, which stores information attributed AST nodes of assignments and method declarations.
2) Design a query language to express these types of queries
3) Create the backend, which compiles the query language to Database Queries
4) Output results

Aim

Give a live demonstration of the query language for two use cases: Covariant Arrays assignments & Overloaded Methods sharing single type

Deadline

7th September

Plan

Build the minimum vertical implementation to make this possible. This consists of the following milestones:

1) Create a database representation of a Java program, which stores information attributed AST nodes of assignments and method declarations. (deadline: 17/7)

2) Develop backend functions that will query the database. (deadline: 23/7)

3) Design query language, different types of queries it will support (deadline: 29/8)

4) Build minimum grammar & parser & compiler to query the two use cases (deadline: 6/9)

5) Output results frontend (deadline: 7/9)

Extra Plan

Extra time will be used to expand the infrastructure horizontally:

- Support more AST nodes and relations

- Support more types of queries

- Extend backend

- Test coverage

- Web interface for Demo
