| Shrnutí: | The maintenance of a software system represents an important part in its
lifetime. In general, each software system is the subject of different kinds
of changes. Bug fixes and a new functionality extensions are the most common
reasons for a change. Usually, a change is accomplished by source code
modifications. To make such a modification, correct understanding the current
state of a system is required. This paper presents the innovative approach to
the simplification of program comprehension. Based on the presented method,
the affected software system is analyzed and metamodel for the selected
feature is created. The feature represents functional aspect of a system
being the subject of the analysis and change. The main benefit is that by
focusing on well known (and precisely described) parts of program
implementation, it is possible to create metamodel for implementation parts
automatically. The level of metamodel is at a higher level of abstraction
than implementation.
