In this paper, we present a taxonomy that allows themaintainer to catalog OO classes based on the characteristicsof the class. The characteristics of a class include theproperties of data items and methods, as well as the relationshipswith other classes in the application. We constructa tool to track changes across multiple releases of softwareapplications containing hundreds of classes, providing informationabout each changed class. Our tool identifiesclass changes in terms of the characteristics exhibited byclasses with the same name in different releases of an application.
