Requirements Engineering is one of the disciplines that can help software organizations to deal with this scenario, specially defining initiatives that can improve the requirements elicitation and analysis activities. In order to contribute to this context and considering the relevance of human resources to software development, a survey was conducted to identify and prioritize the personal skills necessary for requirements analysts to do their jobs effectively, and to evaluate them. Project managers answered the questionnaires, evaluating thirty three personal skills taken from the literature. We compared the results obtained with the literature. In addition, a qualitative study was conducted to deepen the work, using semi-structured interviews with project managers. The qualitative analysis was based on procedures of the Grounded Theory method. The result of this work can be used as a guide for recruitment, selection and performance evaluations of requirements analysts.","PeriodicalId":142932,"journal":{"name":"2011 25th Brazilian Symposium on Software Engineering","volume":"1 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2011-09-28","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"128521101","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 is a costly task because features tend to be scattered in the code. Considering this problem, several approaches for locating features using dynamic analysis have been developed. Nonetheless, the use of dynamic analysis is not fully incorporated in the daily practice of software maintainers. Empirical studies that reveal strengths and weaknesses of the use dynamic analysis in maintenance tasks can bring better understanding of this problem. This study contributes with an empirical assessment of the use of execution traces on software maintenance. We report on a controlled experiment performed with developers when they were performing actualmaintenance activities on systems of different sizes. There are benefits related with a systematic use of execution traces by reducing the execution time and increasing the correction of the developer task during software maintenance. Also, a lower level of difficulty of the tasks was perceived by the participants using dynamic information. Another conclusion is that the approach seems to be useless in maintenance activities where the problem of feature scattering does not occur clearly. This study also reveals that there are still some challenges related to false negatives.","PeriodicalId":142932,"journal":{"name":"2011 25th Brazilian Symposium on Software Engineering","volume":"9 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2011-09-28","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"121113424","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}

One of the main challenges in adopting this framework, is the diversity of variants/dialects of the i* modeling language. These variants were created by different research groups to address their particular purposes and are supported by specific CASE tools. Considering them, it is possible to identify a set of common modeling elements, as well as a set of different modeling elements. We understand that these variants are part of the same family of i* based languages. Hence, a specific i* based language can be obtained from an i* language family, similarly to a product obtained from a software product line. To define the core assets of such i* language family, we identify their common and variable characteristics by comparing various i* based languages. From this comparison, we propose a core metamodel for the i* language family and a process to configure it to generate graphical editors for any i* based language. As a running example, we show how to derive the metamodel for the Aspectual i* modeling language and generate a graphic editor for this language.","PeriodicalId":142932,"journal":{"name":"2011 25th Brazilian Symposium on Software Engineering","volume":"98 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2011-09-28","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"122828243","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}

Among the several benefits commonly associated with the adoption of cloud computing are: low initial investment, no need to maintain a physical infrastructure, reduction and greater control of operational costs, and high scalability. However, to fully achieve those benefits there are still a number of challenges to be addressed, especially regarding new solutions aimed at supporting application developers.This paper offers an overview, from the perspective of application development support, of the new research challenges and opportunities being created with the advent of cloud computing. To investigate those challenges is the main goal of the AltoStratus project, a recently created cloud computing research and collaboration network including researchers from eight Brazilian institutions located in three different regions of the country.","PeriodicalId":142932,"journal":{"name":"2011 25th Brazilian Symposium on Software Engineering","volume":"204 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2011-09-28","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"122588538","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}

Prior research suggests that results summarized in tables are often difficult for readers to understand. One alternative to improve results' comprehensibility is to use graphical representations. The aim of this work is twofold: first, to investigate whether graph representations result is better comprehensibility than tables when presenting SLR results; second, to investigate whether interpretation using graphs impacts on performance, as measured by the time consumed to analyse and understand the data. We selected an SLR published in the literature and used two different formats to represent its results - tables and graphs, in three different combinations: (i) table format only; (ii) graph format only; and (iii) a mixture of tables and graphs. We conducted an experiment that compared the performance and capability of experts in SLR, as well as doctoral and masters students, in analysing and understanding the results of the SLR, as presented in one of the three different forms. We were interested in examining whether there is difference between the performance of participants using tables and graphs. The graphical representation of SLR data led to a reduction in the time taken for its analysis, without any loss in data comprehensibility. For our sample the analysis of graphical data proved to be faster than the analysis of tabular data. However, we found no evidence of a difference in comprehensibility whether using tables, graphical format or a combination. Overall we argue that graphs are a suitable alternative to tables when it comes to representing the results of an SLR.","PeriodicalId":142932,"journal":{"name":"2011 25th Brazilian Symposium on Software Engineering","volume":"1 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2011-09-28","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"134080646","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}
