iArch-U: Interface-Centric Integrated Uncertainty-Aware Development Environment

Abstract

Uncertainty can appear in all aspects of software development: uncertainty in requirements analysis, design decisions, implementation and testing. If uncertainty can be dealt with modularly, we can add or delete uncertain concerns to/from models, code and tests whenever these concerns arise or are fixed to certain concerns. To deal with this problem, we developed iArch-U, an IDE (Integrated Development Environment) for managing uncertainty modularly in all phases in software development. In this paper, we introduce an overview of iArch-U. The iArch-U IDE is open source software and can be downloaded from GitHub.
