These tools may use different techniques, such as Model-Based Testing (MBT) or Capture and Replay (CR). [Goal] For software companies, it is important to evaluate such tools w.r.t. the effort required for creating test artifacts using them; despite its importance, there are few empirical studies comparing performance testing tools, specially tools developed with different approaches. [Method] We are conducting experimental studies to provide evidence about the required effort to use CR-based tools and MBT tools. In this paper, we present our first results, evaluating the effort (time spent) when using LoadRunner and Visual Studio CR-based tools, and the PLeTsPerf MBT tool to create performance test scripts and scenarios to test Web applications, in the context of a collaboration project between Software Engineering Research Center at PUCRS and a technological laboratory of a global IT company. [Results] Our results indicate that, for simple testing tasks, the effort of using a CR-based tool was lower than using an MBT tool, but as the testing complexity increases tasks, the advantage of using MBT grows significantly. [Conclusions] To conclude, we discuss the lessons we learned from the design, operation, and analysis of our empirical experiment.","PeriodicalId":124452,"journal":{"name":"International Symposium on Empirical Software Engineering and Measurement","volume":"32 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2014-09-18","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"122188239","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

In the model, exposure is defined as the likely fraction of the original defects in the software system that is reported by any customer, in any month and against any version of the system. The basic idea is to try to model exposure as the product of the isolated effects of a few customer- and system-characteristics. The model has been used for several purposes: to better understand defect detection mechanisms, and to better predict the resources required for defect correction. Also, the model has enabled us to make an early estimate of product quality, and thereby give valuable input for other important purposes.","PeriodicalId":124452,"journal":{"name":"International Symposium on Empirical Software Engineering and Measurement","volume":"6 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2008-10-09","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"124506552","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

These initiatives often face difficulty motivating managers and developers. Yet the success of these improvement initiatives is directly related to receiving support from them. A defect-driven improvement process is proposed, aiming to improve the adoption of techniques by these key groups. The process is based on using defect data to identify issues in the current development process. ABB has used this process to focus and motivate change in three major development organizations around the world. Results show that this process yields measurable improvements in organizations that have been reluctant to change in the past.","PeriodicalId":124452,"journal":{"name":"International Symposium on Empirical Software Engineering and Measurement","volume":"23 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2008-10-09","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"121748153","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Internal software attributes are important because they are believed to be related to quantities of industrial interest, like the number of defects or the development effort. However, the definition of internal software attributes still needs to be made more precise and formal, so measures can be defined that really quantify the attributes they purport to measure. In this paper, we extend, simplify, and refine an existing axiomatic approach that characterizes each internal attribute rigorously via a different set of axioms. This paper makes three specific contributions. First, the new proposal captures a larger set of aspects of software artifacts that may be relevant for internal software attributes than the original proposal did. Second, we identify the basic, foundational sets of axioms for each internal attribute studied, from which the other properties of the attribute can be derived, so the intrinsic properties of the attribute and their implications can be understood. Third, we investigate some relevant relationships among internal software attributes, so their similarities and differences, which are sometimes not well identified, are made more explicit.","PeriodicalId":124452,"journal":{"name":"International Symposium on Empirical Software Engineering and Measurement","volume":"1 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2008-10-09","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"131390324","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

This solution also needs to meet certain constraints. For example, a solution for the estimates coefficients of COCOMO models must be non-negative. In this research, we introduce a constrained regression technique that uses objective functions and constraints to estimate the coefficients of the COCOMO models. To access the performance of the proposed technique, we run a cross-validation procedure and compare the prediction accuracy from different approaches such as least squares, stepwise, Lasso, and Ridge regression. Our result suggests that the regression model that minimizes the sum of relative errors and imposes non-negative coefficients is a favorable technique for calibrating the COCOMO model parameters.","PeriodicalId":124452,"journal":{"name":"International Symposium on Empirical Software Engineering and Measurement","volume":"4 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2008-10-09","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"134440575","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

It is presented as a multiple case study with a qualitative approach where data were collected from documents and in interviews with practioners at two Swedish automotive companies. To obtain validity of the results, multiple information sources were triangulated in within-case analysis and cross-case analysis.\u0000 It can be concluded that there are challenges in the research area since 18 issues emerged from the data. Furthermore, a majority of the findings were supported by data sources from both cases, which indicates a possibility to generalize the results to the automotive domain.","PeriodicalId":124452,"journal":{"name":"International Symposium on Empirical Software Engineering and Measurement","volume":"160 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2008-10-09","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"132916503","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

However, methods and models proposed in literature to support QA management suffer from several drawbacks. Many are specialized to certain activities like system test or inspections. They commonly support only one application purpose, e.g., planning or controlling, and are often applicable only after measurement data has been collected for several historical applications. To overcome these drawbacks, we developed a method that can be applied to QA activities during any phase, and which supports comprehensive quality management related tasks: improvement, planning, and controlling. To be applicable in practice, the method combines the available measurement data with expert judgment to build context-specific models. In addition, the method provides early benefits, while motivating the collection of measurement data by presenting possible improvement directions. The paper presents the general concepts behind the method and research questions to be answered in upcoming empirical studies.","PeriodicalId":124452,"journal":{"name":"International Symposium on Empirical Software Engineering and Measurement","volume":"64 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2008-10-09","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"133735958","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

These measures have failed to provide a comprehensive basis for productivity analysis. In the research department of the Siemens AG the new approach ProdFLOW™ for the analysis and management of a research & development organization's productivity is being created based on a revised understanding of the term productivity. Former studies often start with fixed, typical indicators and quantitatively analyze the relation between productivity and the indicator by regression models. ProdFLOW™ departs from the fixed model approach, which might not fit to the conditions of the organization. Instead an organization-specific model based on the substantial levers of the productivity, which are both influenceable and measurable, are compiled together with the experts of the organization.
