This 'architectural drift', where the original design of the system and the as-implemented design of the system diverge, can cause serious problems for evolution, maintenance and the comprehensibility of a system if it remains undocumented or uncorrected. The earlier such discrepancies can be identified, the better.\u0000 This paper reports on a case study designed to evaluate a proposed approach for monitoring architectural drift during software development. The proposed approach differs significantly from existing design conformance approaches in that it has been designed for application within a forward engineering context. The findings show the utility of the approach in identifying architectural drift but also illustrate a number of improvements that could be made to the technique to further promote architecture conformance.","PeriodicalId":124452,"journal":{"name":"International Symposium on Empirical Software Engineering and Measurement","volume":"49 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":"114456348","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}

Results from both studies show that (1) there is no significant difference in the product quality, independently of experience, but (2) novices are more productive using the Planned approach.","PeriodicalId":124452,"journal":{"name":"International Symposium on Empirical Software Engineering and Measurement","volume":"7 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":"123940106","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}

Two of the most known techniques appeared in literature so far are Regression Analysis and Estimation by Analogy. The results of the empirical studies show the lack of convergence in choosing the best prediction technique between the parametric Regression Analysis and the non-parametric Estimation by Analogy models. In this paper, we introduce the use of a semi-parametric model that achieves to incorporate some parametric information into a non-parametric model combining in this way regression and analogy. Furthermore, we demonstrate the procedure of building such a model on two well-known datasets and we present the comparative results based on the predictive accuracy of the new technique using several accuracy measures. We also perform statistical tests on the residuals in order to assess the improvement in the predictions attained through the new semi-parametric model in comparison to the accuracy of Regression Analysis and Estimation by Analogy when applied separately. Our results show that the semi-parametric model provides more accurate predictions than each one of the parametric and non-parametric approaches.","PeriodicalId":124452,"journal":{"name":"International Symposium on Empirical Software Engineering and Measurement","volume":"16 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":"132150428","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}

The goal was to define a glossary of terms related to ESE based on an initial glossary published in http://lens-ese.cos.ufrj.br/wikiese. This initial glossary was built manually, based on expert knowledge. However, owing to the dynamic nature of the research works in ESE, this glossary must be dynamically updated with information extracted from the relevant documents in the research domain. Automation is, therefore, mandatory. We propose a text mining technique for the automatic extraction of the most relevant terms used in ESE documents. Our technique also provides the relationships between terms, with the degree of affinity between them. Our approach could, therefore, be useful in the improvement of the initial glossary of terms and in discovering relationships between terms.","PeriodicalId":124452,"journal":{"name":"International Symposium on Empirical Software Engineering and Measurement","volume":"18 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":"126612405","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}

We present the FAULTBENCH v0.1 benchmark, as a contribution to current benchmark materials, for evaluation and comparison of techniques that prioritize and classify alerts generated by static analysis tools. Static analysis tools may generate an overwhelming number of alerts, the majority of which are likely to be false positives (FP). Two FP mitigation techniques, alert prioritization and classification, provide an ordering or classification of alerts, identifying those likely to be anomalies. We evaluate FAULTBENCH using three versions of a FP mitigation technique within the AWARE adaptive prioritization model. Individual FAULTBENCH subjects vary in their optimal FP mitigation techniques. Together, FAULTBENCH subjects provide a precise and general evaluation of FP mitigation techniques.","PeriodicalId":124452,"journal":{"name":"International Symposium on Empirical Software Engineering and Measurement","volume":"5 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":"121120503","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 this study we investigate the extent to which clients comprehend three types of diagram. Two popular UML diagrams (activity and use case) and Extreme X-Machines diagrams (a type of state diagram developed to support Extreme Programming) were shown to three clients for whom we had recently delivered the software that was represented. The clients were given some simple guidance on interpreting them and asked to evaluate how well they understood them. This pilot study found that all the diagrams studied seemed to be equally well understood, but further studies are required to evaluate their usefulness.","PeriodicalId":124452,"journal":{"name":"International Symposium on Empirical Software Engineering and Measurement","volume":"155 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":"121674709","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}

Typical studies correlate code properties with the number of faults in a software module to find error-prone modules. However, many studies do not regard the occurrence of faults over time, although the time information can be retrieved from bug databases. In order to overcome this problem, we suggest the application of survival analysis models, which are used in biostatistics and can handle time-dependent data. Because a large amount of raw data has to be evaluated statistically, we further discuss the automated retrieval and pre-processing of raw data from code repositories and bug databases.","PeriodicalId":124452,"journal":{"name":"International Symposium on Empirical Software Engineering and Measurement","volume":"69 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":"134594221","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}

They are also related to the theory within and outside the area of software engineering resulting in five underlying software cost estimation inhibitors and providing a deeper understanding for the snapshot of the current causes of cost estimation errors reported by the practitioners.\u0000 Lastly, the question of the practitioners' ability to report upon software cost estimation inhibitors is discussed.
