Graph representations and graph algorithms are widely adopted to model and resolve problems in many different areas from telecommunications, to bio-informatics, tocivil and software engineering. Many software artefacts such as the class diagram can be thought of as graphs and thus, many software evolution problems can be reformulated as a graph matching problem.In this paper, we investigate the applicability of an error-correctinggraph matching algorithm to object-oriented software evolution and report results, obtained on a small system --- the Latazza application ---,supporting applicability and usefulness of our proposal.
