The document discusses adopting code reviews in agile environments. Traditional code reviews are resource-intensive. An industrial case study found reviews were often skipped due to lack of time at the end of sprints. The paper proposes Continuous Changeset-Based Reviews (CCBR) as an alternative. CCBR makes reviews continuous, asynchronous tasks based on automated rules. It was implemented in a review tool integrated with Eclipse called ReviewClipse. An empirical evaluation is planned to compare CCBR to traditional reviews.

A Study of the Quality-Impacting Practices of Modern Code Review at Sony Mobile
Sony Mobile uses code review tools like Gerrit to facilitate code reviews of commits. The study found that components with a higher ratio of third-party code and those where developers frequently self-approved or self-verified their own code without peer review were more defect-prone. Additionally, components with high rates of code patches after initial approval tended to be less defect-prone. Qualitative interviews with developers validated these findings and indicated that external code takes more time and effort to understand, third-party bias may impact self-reviews, and in-person communication improves code quality over tools alone. Sony Mobile is now discouraging self-verification, encouraging passive reviewers to participate more, and focusing QA testing on external code coverage.
Defect Prediction: Accomplishments and Future Challenges
The document discusses the accomplishments and future challenges of defect prediction in software engineering. It provides an overview of defect prediction, including leveraging data from repositories to measure source code metrics and build prediction models. Major accomplishments include increased data availability and openness, the ability to extract various metric types, and improved modeling performance. However, challenges remain such as keeping up with fast development paces and making models more accessible. The document argues that future areas of focus include defect prediction for mobile apps and integrating just-in-time models into continuous integration processes.

Early Detection of Collaboration Conflicts & Risks analyzes software development conflicts by studying 9 open source projects totaling 3.4 million lines of code. The study found that textual conflicts occurred in 16% of merges and higher order conflicts in 33% of reported clean merges. Conflicts on average persisted for 3.2 days. The speculative analysis tool Crystal predicts potential conflicts to help developers merge changes safely and avoid conflicts persisting. Crystal examines commits between local and remote repositories to inform developers when merging is safe or risks conflicts.

This document presents a study on detecting community smells in software projects using a genetic programming-based ensemble classifier chain (GP-ECC) approach. Community smells refer to poor social and organizational practices that can negatively impact a project. The study aims to automatically infer detection rules for different community smell types from examples. It formulates the detection problem as a multi-label learning task and uses GP to evolve detection rules. The approach is evaluated on 103 open source projects and shows 87% precision and 91% recall. Further analysis indicates low variability in detecting different smell types and identifies influential features. The study concludes GP-ECC is promising for community smell detection but more evaluation on diverse projects is needed.
ICSME 2016: Search-Based Peer Reviewers Recommendation in Modern Code Review
This document presents RevRec, a search-based approach for recommending peer reviewers for code changes. RevRec uses a genetic algorithm to combine models of reviewer expertise and collaboration. It was evaluated on three open source projects and achieved an average of 55% precision and 70% recall in recommending reviewers. The results indicate that considering both expertise and social aspects improves accuracy over expertise alone. A population-based search algorithm like genetic algorithm was found to be better suited than local search methods for this recommendation problem. Future work could integrate additional data sources to improve the expertise model and accuracy of recommendations.

This document presents the thesis work on systematic log mining to support the development of ultra-large scale systems. There are five key findings from prior log mining research: 1) Little focus on logs in source code; 2) Little use of logs from development; 3) Ad hoc log transformation; 4) Lack of scalability; 5) Limited use for software development activities. The thesis proposes two parts: 1) Study challenges of understanding and evolving logs; 2) Approaches using logs to support development like testing and deployment verification. Evaluation shows logs provide insights into defects and an approach using execution sequences from logs precisely verifies big data application deployments with 86% effort reduction.
Revisiting Assert Use in GitHub Projects
Developers who add more assertions to code tend to have code with fewer defects. Assertions are added primarily by developers with greater ownership over the code and more experience. Assertions serve several purposes, such as checking for null values, verifying process state, validating initialization, and ensuring resources are properly locked.
An Empirical Study on the Adequacy of Testing in Open Source Projects
In this study, we investigate the state-of-the-practice of testing
by measuring code coverage in open-source software projects. We examine over 300 large open-source projects written in Java, to measure the code coverage of their associated test cases.
An Empirical Study of the Effect of File Editing Patterns on Software Quality
While some developers like to work on multiple code change requests, others might prefer to handle one change request at a time. This juggling of change requests and the large number of developers working in parallel often lead to files being edited as part of different change requests by one or several developers. Existing research has warned the community about the potential negative impacts of some file editing patterns on software quality. For example, when several developers concurrently edit a file as part of different change requests, they are likely to introduce bugs due to limited awareness of other changes. However, very few studies have provided quantitative evidence to support these claims. In this paper, we identify four file editing patterns. We perform an empirical study on three open source software systems to investigate the individual and the combined impact of the four patterns on software quality. We find that: (1) files that are edited concurrently by many developers have on average 2.46 times more future bugs than files that are not concurrently edited; (2) files edited in parallel with other files by the same developer have on average 1.67 times more future bugs than files individually edited; (3) files edited over an extended period (i.e., above the third quartile) of time have 2.28 times more future bugs than other files; and (4) files edited with long interruptions (i.e., above the third quartile) have 2.1 times more future bugs than other files. When more than one editing patterns are followed by one or many developers during the editing of a file, we observe that the number of future bugs in the file can be as high as 1.6 times the average number of future bugs in files edited following a single editing pattern. These results can be used by software development teams to warn developers about risky file editing patterns.

This document presents a framework for parallel random unit testing. It proposes exploiting parallel computing to improve software testing effectiveness by providing more test data and executing more test cases in the same amount of time. The framework will generate and execute test cases in parallel on multicore and cluster systems. It will be evaluated based on its ability to detect faults using MuJava and code coverage using Clover compared to serial testing. Required tools include the Parallel Java API, random number generators, Eclipse IDE, and evaluation tools. The proposed timeline is to complete the framework and evaluation by June 2010.
ProDebt's Lessons Learned from Planning Technical Debt Strategically
QuASD/PROFES 2017, Innsbruck (Austria): Workshop with Marcus Ciolkowski (Principal IT Consultant at QAware), Liliana Guzmán, Adam Trendowicz, Felix Salfner
Abstract: Due to cost and time constraints, software quality is often neglected in the evolution and adaptation of software. Thus, maintainability suffers, maintenance costs rise, and the development takes longer. These effects are referred to as “technical debt”. The challenge for project managers is to find a balance when using the given budget and schedule, either by reducing technical debt or by adding technical features. This balance is needed to keep time to market for current product releases short and future maintenance costs at an acceptable level.
Method: The project ProDebt aimed at developing an innovative methodology and a software tool to support the strategic planning of technical debt in the context of agile software development. In this project, we created quality models and collected corresponding measurement data for two case studies in two different companies. Alltogether, the two case studies contributed 5-6 years of data, from the end of 2011, resp. mid-2012, until today. Using measurement and effort data, we trained a machine-learning model to predict productivity based on measurement data - representing the technical debt of a file at a given point in time.
Result: We developed a prototype and a prediction model for forecasting potential savings based on proposed refactorings of key drivers of technical debt identified by the model. In this paper, we present the approach and the experiences made during model development.
Data collection for software defect prediction
It is one of the important stages that software companies need it, it will be after produce the program and published, to know the reactions of the users and their impressions about the program and work on developing and improving it.

Assessing the Reliability of a Human Estimator
The document summarizes research on building predictive models to estimate software project efforts based on human estimators' demographics. A web survey collected estimators' demographics and estimates. Models were constructed using demographics as attributes to predict estimates. Some models achieved up to 78% accuracy. Attribute reduction improved accuracy. Decision trees were created to distinguish over-estimators from best estimators based on demographics.

This document provides an overview of a textbook on software quality engineering. It discusses expectations for software quality, challenges in achieving quality, and how software quality engineering (SQE) activities like testing and quality assurance help address these challenges. The textbook is organized into four parts that cover SQE basics and alternatives, testing techniques, other quality assurance methods, and analysis and improvement approaches. It is intended for readers with backgrounds in mathematics, statistics, computer science, and software engineering.

Cross-project Defect Prediction Using A Connectivity-based Unsupervised Class...
Defect prediction on projects with limited historical data has attracted great interest from both researchers and practitioners. Cross-project defect prediction has been the main area of progress by reusing classifiers from other projects. However, existing approaches require some degree of homogeneity (e.g., a similar distribution of metric values) between the training projects and the target project. Satisfying the homogeneity requirement often requires significant effort (currently a very active area of research).
An unsupervised classifier does not require any training data, therefore the heterogeneity challenge is no longer an issue. In this paper, we examine two types of unsupervised classifiers: a) distance-based classifiers (e.g., k-means); and b) connectivity-based classifiers. While distance-based unsupervised classifiers have been previously used in the defect prediction literature with disappointing performance, connectivity-based classifiers have never been explored before in our community.
We compare the performance of unsupervised classifiers versus supervised classifiers using data from 26 projects from three publicly available datasets (i.e., AEEEM, NASA, and PROMISE). In the cross-project setting, our proposed connectivity-based classifier (via spectral clustering) ranks as one of the top classifiers among five widely-used supervised classifiers (i.e., random forest, naive Bayes, logistic regression, decision tree, and logistic model tree) and five unsupervised classifiers (i.e., k-means, partition around medoids, fuzzy C-means, neural-gas, and spectral clustering). In the within-project setting (i.e., models are built and applied on the same project), our spectral classifier ranks in the second tier, while only random forest ranks in the first tier. Hence, connectivity-based unsupervised classifiers offer a viable solution for cross and within project defect predictions.

This document presents a method for prioritizing test cases for event-driven software using a genetic algorithm. It proposes a single abstract model that can test both graphical user interface (GUI) and web applications. Test cases are executed and assigned a fitness value, then stored in a training database. When test cases have equal fitness values, prioritization criteria like fault detection, time, and code coverage are applied using the genetic algorithm to determine the optimal testing order. The approach was experimentally tested on small GUI and web apps and showed a reduction in latency time compared to other techniques. Future work could involve applying the algorithm to larger real-world software.

This document presents a multi-objective search-based software engineering approach to recommend refactorings that introduce design patterns, fix anti-patterns, and improve software quality attributes. The approach uses NSGA-II genetic algorithm to evolve refactoring solutions. An empirical evaluation on 4 open-source Java systems shows the approach outperforms existing techniques in fixing anti-patterns and introducing design patterns while improving quality. Future work includes expanding the types of patterns addressed and developing interactive refactoring support.

This document discusses software quality and definitions of quality. It covers different perspectives on quality including those of customers, users and developers. An ISO standard quality framework is presented that defines six key characteristics of quality: functionality, reliability, usability, efficiency, maintainability and portability. Defects are also discussed, distinguishing between errors, faults and failures. The relationship between quality and defects is examined, with quality assurance seen as a way to deal with defects. A historical perspective on definitions of software quality is provided.
14 software technical_metrics
The document discusses software technical metrics, including McCall's quality factors and architectural design metrics. [1] McCall identified 11 quality factors like correctness, reliability, and usability that can measure software quality. [2] These factors depend on 22 metrics that can be subjectively measured on a scale from 0 to 10. [3] The document also discusses architectural structure metrics like Fenton's size and connectivity density metrics, which measure attributes like nodes and arcs.
Experiments on Design Pattern Discovery
The document describes experiments conducted to discover design patterns from source code. It outlines the approach taken by DP-Miner tool, presents experiment data on four Java systems, and evaluates results by calculating precision and recall values. Benchmarks are lacking for accurately evaluating design pattern discovery techniques.

優れたプログラマだけが優れたソースコードを書くことができます。
では優れたプログラマになるにはどうすれば良いでしょうか。
自分の書いたコードを、優れたプログラマに指摘してもらうことが一番の近道です。それがコードレビューです。たった一人でコードレビューも受けずに、ただ書き続けてもクソコードはクソコードのままなのです。
そこで今回は、良いコードが書けるプログラマになるための、コードレビューを上手に実践する秘訣を話します。
Peer Code Review An Agile Process
Peer code review is one of the most effective ways to find defects – but is it agile? Because agile teams loathe heavy process, code review practices can easily fail. However, lightweight peer code review aligns well with the central tenets of agile—keeping feedback close to the point of creation, increasing team velocity by finding defects faster, and improving collective code ownership through frequent collaboration. Gregg Sporar shares recent research on code review practices and describes an agile code review approach—how much time to spend, which code to review, how much code to review at a time, how to set goals, the value of annotation, and more. After comparing four styles of code review—pair programming, over-the-shoulder, email, and tool-assisted—Gregg gives specific advice for creating review checklists and dealing with the social effects of code review in an agile environment.

Class quality evaluation using class quality
The document describes a proposed tool called the Class Breakpoint Analyzer (CBA) that evaluates software quality at the class level. The CBA extracts metrics like weighted methods per class (WMC), depth of inheritance tree (DIT), number of children (NOC), and lack of cohesion in methods (LCOM) based on the Chidamber and Kemerer (CK) metrics suite. Threshold values are set for each metric to determine if a class is overloaded. The CBA then generates a scorecard for each class to identify classes that need to be refactored to improve quality and reusability. The goal is to help evaluate code quality, identify areas for improvement, and make off-the-shelf
Class quality evaluation using class quality scorecards
The document describes a Class Breakpoint Analyzer tool that evaluates software quality using metrics. The tool extracts metrics like Weighted Methods per Class (WMC), Depth of Inheritance Tree (DIT), Number of Children (NOC), and Lack of Cohesion in Methods (LCOM) from source code. Threshold values for each metric indicate if a class needs restructuring. The tool generates a scorecard to determine if a class is overloaded or saturated. This helps improve reusability of existing software and evaluate code quality for junior programmers. The tool uses metrics from the Chidamber and Kemerer (CK) suite to analyze classes and suggest where to break classes for better design.

Software engineering practices and software quality empirical research results
This presentation summarizes empirical research findings in software engineering practices including test driven development, peer code reviews, and defect prediction.
Software metrics validation
In the software measurement validations, assessing the validation of software metrics in software
engineering is a very difficult task due to lack of theoretical methodology and empirical methodology [41,
44, 45]. During recent years, there have been a number of researchers addressing the issue of validating
software metrics. At present, software metrics are validated theoretically using properties of measures.
Further, software measurement plays an important role in understanding and controlling software
development practices and products. The major requirement in software measurement is that the measures
must represent accurately those attributes they purport to quantify and validation is critical to the success
of software measurement. Normally, validation is a collection of analysis and testing activities across the
full life cycle and complements the efforts of other quality engineering functions and validation is a critical
task in any engineering project. Further, validation objective is to discover defects in a system and assess
whether or not the system is useful and usable in operational situation. In the case of software engineering,
validation is one of the software engineering disciplines that help build quality into software. The major
objective of software validation process is to determine that the software performs its intended functions
correctly and provides information about its quality and reliability. This paper discusses the validation
methodology, techniques and different properties of measures that are used for software metrics validation.
In most cases, theoretical and empirical validations are conducted for software metrics validations in
software engineering [1-50].
Software bug prediction
The document presents a software bug prediction model. It aims to build a resilient bug prediction model through simulation on open source issue trackers like Jira and Bugzilla. It also aims to conduct a comparative study of the new model against existing competitive models. The model will make use of data from software repositories, bug reports, and code artifacts to predict bugs. Open source projects like Eclipse, Mozilla and Android will be used for simulations. Data mining tools like WEKA and RAPID MINER will be utilized extensively. The model also aims to facilitate code refactoring to improve software maintenance activities like modification and enhancement. Literature in the areas of bug prediction and code refactoring will be surveyed. The research will be conducted in

The document discusses a study on the need for a rating system for software quality. It notes that while software quality has been extensively studied, there has been little research into explicitly rating software quality. The study aims to review previous literature and develop the scope for a rating system to provide more information to end-users. It outlines some key metrics considered in software quality like complexity, efficiency, functionality and maintainability. The document includes a graph showing the evolution of software quality research over time and a flowchart depicting the software quality assurance and development process.
Agile Methods And Quality A Survey
This document summarizes and organizes previous research on how quality is handled in agile software development methods. It begins by defining agile methods and discussing how quality assurance is viewed from an agile perspective. It then examines three papers that look more closely at how quality is addressed within agile development processes, specifically through refactoring and defect discovery/handling, the role of human factors in agile quality management, and examples from the field. The document synthesizes key aspects of quality assurance discussed in the literature around agile methods.

The International Journal of Software Engineering & Applications (IJSEA) is a bi-monthly open access peer-reviewed journal that publishes articles which contribute new results in all areas of the Software Engineering & Applications. The goal of this journal is to bring together researchers and practitioners from academia and industry to focus on understanding Modern software engineering concepts & establishing new collaborations in these areas.
AGILE METHODS AND QUALITY _ A SURVEY
This document summarizes a survey paper on agile methods and quality assurance. The paper presents 4 sections: [1] An overview of agile methods and how they relate to quality assurance. Some key quality techniques in agile like refactoring and test-driven development are discussed. [2] How quality is handled within agile development processes, with a focus on defect discovery and refactoring. [3] How quality is addressed within agile management practices, discussing people capability models. [4] Examples of applying quality practices in real-world agile projects. The paper aims to understand how quality is incorporated into agile methods and identify areas for further improvement.
Importance of Testing in SDLC
From previous year researches, it is concluded that testing is playing a vital role in the development of the software product. As, software testing is a single approach to assure the quality of the software so most of the development efforts are put on the software testing. But software testing is an expensive process and consumes a lot of time. So, testing should be start as early as possible in the development to control the money and time problems. Even, testing should be performed at every step in the software development life cycle (SDLC) which is a structured approach used in the development of the software product. Software testing is a tradeoff between budget, time and quality. Now a day, testing becomes a very important activity in terms of exposure, security, performance and usability. Hence, software testing faces a collection of challenges.
AGILE METHODS AND QUALITY _ A SURVEY
Agile software processes, such as extreme programming (XP), Scrum, Lean, etc., rely on best practices that are considered to improve software development quality. It can be said that best
practices aim to induce software quality assurance (SQA) into the project at hand. Some researchers of agile methods claim that because of the very nature of such methods, quality in agile software projects should be a natural outcome of the applied method. As a consequence, agile quality is expected to be more or less embedded in the agile software processes. Many reports support and evangelize the advantages of agile methods with respect to quality assurance, Is it so ? An ambitious goal of this paper is to present work done to understand how quality is or should be handled. This paper as all survey papers attempt to summarize and organizes research results in the field of software engineering, precisely for the topic of agile methods related to software quality.
Introduction to Systems Engineering

- Common views for documenting architecture include logical, process, physical, development, and use case views.
- Architectural styles and patterns provide reusable solutions for common architectural problems.
Lopez
The document summarizes Tamara Lopez's PhD research proposal on reasoning about flaws in software design. The research aims to analyze software failures by taking a situational approach between the broad scope of systemic analyses and narrow focus of means analyses. It will apply qualitative methods to examine how failures manifest and are addressed in software development. The goal is to better understand why some software fails and other succeeds.
