  2. 1. Efficient Automatic Change Detection in Software Maintenance and Evolutionary Processes

    Author : Sebastian Hönel; Morgan Ericsson; Welf Löwe; Anna Wingkvist; Přemek Brada; Linnéuniversitetet; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Software Maintenance; Software Evolution; Effort Estimation; Commit Classification; Computer Science; Datavetenskap; Software Technology; Programvaruteknik;

    Abstract : Software maintenance is such an integral part of its evolutionary process that it consumes much of the total resources available. Some estimate the costs of maintenance to be up to 100 times the amount of developing a software. READ MORE

  4. 2. Definition and validation of requirements management measures

    Author : Annabella Loconsole; Jürgen Börstler; Björn Regnell; Umeå universitet; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Requirement; Measures; Volatility; Theoretical Validation; Empirical Validation; Prediction Model; Correlational Study; Subjective Estimation.; Software engineering; Programvaruteknik;

    Abstract : The quality of software systems depends on early activities in the software development process, of which the management of requirements is one. When requirements are not managed well, a project can fail or become more costly than intended, and the quality of the software developed can decrease. READ MORE

  5. 3. Towards a Framework for Fault and Failure Prediction and Estimation

    Author : Hanna Scott; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES;

    Abstract : In software companies today we see a trend of changing development processes, as well as test processes, in order to reduce the number of faults in their software; and by reducing the number of faults, reducing the number of failures. It is hard to know if a change to a process has a positive or negative effect on the faults and failures of the software. READ MORE

  6. 4. An Empirical Study of Requirements-Driven Impact Analysis in Object-Oriented Software Evolution

    Author : Mikael Lindvall; Linköpings universitet; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES;

    Abstract : Requirements-driven impact analysis (RDIA) identifies the set of software entities that need to be changed to implement a new requirement in an existing system. RDIA thus involves a transition from requirements to software entities or to a representative model of the implemented system. RDIA is performed during the release planning phase. READ MORE

  7. 5. Enterprise Systems Modifiability Analysis : An Enterprise Architecture Modeling Approach for Decision Making

    Author : Robert Lagerström; Pontus Johnson; Marc Lankhorst; KTH; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Enterprise Architecture; Software System Modifiability; Decision Making; Metamodeling; Enterprise Architecture Analysis; Software Change Cost Estimation; Other information technology; Övrig informationsteknik;

    Abstract : Contemporary enterprises depend to great extent on software systems. During the past decades the number of systems has been constantly increasing and these systems have become more integrated with one another. This has lead to a growing complexity in managing software systems and their environment. READ MORE
