Software quality and governance in agile software development
Looking at software engineering from a historical perspective, we can see how software development methodologies have evolved over the past 50 years. Using the right software development methodology with the right settings has always been a challenge. Therefore, there has always been a need for …

Software tectonics
… or qualities. The object of investigation in Software Tectonics is how technologies of design and construction allow newly forming propositions about the role of environment in the discipline to become operational tactics in the design practice. SOFTWARE TECTONICS proposes 3 design research …

Advancing Software Development Efficiency in an Open Source Software Context
Open source software has been gaining popularity, especially among commercial organizations. The broad industry acceptance is in large part due to the demonstrated ability of open source solutions to compete with proprietary alternatives. Using open source software components enables companies to …

Mining software repositories: measuring effectiveness and affectiveness in software systems.
Software Engineering field has many goals, among them we can certainly deal with monitoring and controlling the development process in order to meet the business requirements of the released software artifact. Software engineers need to have empirical evidence that the development process and the …

Observational Studies of Software Engineering Using Data from Software Repositories
Data for empirical studies of software engineering can be difficult to obtain. Extrapolations from small controlled experiments to large development environments are tenuous and observation tends to change the behavior of the subjects. In this thesis we propose the use of data gathered from …

Expanding software process improvement models beyond the software process itself
The problems besetting software development and maintenance are well recorded and numerous strategies have been adopted over the years to overcome the so-called "software crisis". One increasingly popular strategy focuses on managing the processes by which software is built, maintained and managed. …

Re-engineering software for integration using computer aided software engineering
… research addresses the problem of integrating software at a high level of integration (analysis or design level) using Computer Aided Software Engineering. The assumption is made that the source code of the two applications to be integrated is available in language C or FORTRAN 77. Following …

Software design: communication between human factors engineers and software developers
… pervade aspects of daily life, users demand software that is easy to use. It has been suggested that adding human factors engineers (HFEs) to software development teams would help software development companies meet these user demands. However, there are qualitative data which suggest that …

Software Reliability Models
… these models are unsuitable for modelling real software error data. On the other hand if the density function of the inter-failure times is made proper by multiplying with a constant, then we cannot assume finite number of expected faults in the system which is the basic assumption in building …

Emergent software systems
Contemporary software systems often have millions of lines of code that interact over complex infrastructures. The development of such systems is very challenging due to the increasing complexity of services and the high level of dynamism of current operating environments. In order to support the …

Software reliability prediction
… likelihood parameter estimates of a number of software reliability models. On the basis of the results from analysing 7 sets of real data, these methods are found to be both efficient and reliable. The simple approach of adapting software reliability predictions by Keiller and Littlewood (1984) …

Software reliability prediction
… presents some extensions to existing methods of software reliability estimation and prediction. Firstly, we examine a technique called 'recalibration' by means of which many existing software reliability prediction algorithms assess past predictive performance in order to improve the accuracy of …

Software reliability prediction
… NCR's decision making process for progressing software products through the development cycle. The first chapter briefly describes the software development process at NCR, detailing documentation review and software testing techniques. The objectives and reasons for investigating software …

Software defined transport
We advocate a software defined transport (SDT) architecture in which a transport controller schedules and dynamically re-schedules the flow sending rates based on current network conditions and the network operator's goals. This dissertation shows that this architecture provides both high …

The relationship among commenting style, software complexity metrics, and software maintainability
… the relationships between comment quantity and software metrics are assessed to determine whether programmers increase comment quantity in complex modules. In addition, comment quantity and software metrics are related to software maintenance data. It was found that software complexity, as …
