These changes can adversely introduce regression faults, causing previously working functions to fail. Regression testing is essential for maintaining the quality of evolving complex software, but it can be overly time-consuming when the size of the test suite is large, or the execution of the test cases takes a long time. There are extensive research studies on selective regression testing aiming at minimizing the size of the regression test suite while maximizing the detection of the regression faults. However, most of the existing techniques focus on the regression faults caused by the code changes, the impact of the context changes on the non-modified software has barely been explored. This paper presents a context-aware regression test selection (CARTS) approach that not only accounts for the modification of code but also changes in the execution context, including libraries, external APIs, and databases. After a change, CARTS uses the program invariants denoted in the pre- and postconditions of a function to determine if the function is affected by the change and selects all the test cases that executed the modified code as well as the non-modified functions whose preconditions are affected by the change. To evaluate the effectiveness of our approach, we conducted empirical studies on multi-release open-source software and case studies on real-world systems that have ongoing changes in code as well as in the execution context. The results of our controlled experiments show that with an average of 32.5% of the regression test cases, CARTS selected all the fault-revealing test cases. In the case studies, all the fault-revealing test cases were selected by using an average of 25.3% of the regression test suite. These results suggest that CARTS can be effective for selecting fault-revealing test cases for both code and execution context changes.","PeriodicalId":143800,"journal":{"name":"2021 28th Asia-Pacific Software Engineering Conference (APSEC)","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-12-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"132823393","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 flaky tests, also known as non-deterministic tests, switch their outcomes without any modification in the codebase, hence reducing the confidence of developers during maintenance as well as in the quality of a product. Re-running test cases to reveal flakiness is resource-consuming, unreliable and does not reveal the root causes of test flakiness. Our paper evaluates a multi-factor approach to identify flaky test executions implemented in a tool named MDF laker. The four factors are: trace-back coverage, flaky frequency, number of test smells, and test size. Based on the extracted factors, MDFlaker uses k-Nearest Neighbor (KNN) to determine whether failed test executions are flaky. We investigate MDFlaker in a case study with 2166 test executions from different open-source repositories. We evaluate the effectiveness of our flaky detection tool. We illustrate how the multi-factor approach can be used to reveal root causes for flakiness, and we conduct a qualitative comparison between MDF laker and other tools proposed in literature. Our results show that the combination of different factors can be used to identify flaky tests. Each factor has its own trade-off, e.g., trace-back leads to many true positives, while flaky frequency yields more true negatives. Therefore, specific combinations of factors enable classification for testers with limited information (e.g., not enough test history information).","PeriodicalId":143800,"journal":{"name":"2021 28th Asia-Pacific Software Engineering Conference (APSEC)","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-12-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"130932038","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}

Similar code changes are called change patterns. Identifying change patterns is useful to support software development in a variety of ways. For example, change patterns can be used to collect ingredients for code completion or automated program repair. Many research studies have proposed various techniques that detect change patterns. For example, Negara et al. proposed a technique that derives change patterns from the edit scripts. Negara's technique can detect fine-grained change patterns, but we consider that there is room to improve their technique. We found that Negara's technique occasionally generates change patterns from structurally-different changes, and we also uncovered that the reason why such change patterns are generated is that their technique performs text comparisons in matching changes. In this study, we propose a new change mining technique to detect change patterns only from structurally-identical changes by taking into account the structure of the abstract syntax trees. We implemented the proposed technique as a tool, TC2P, and we compared it with Negara's technique. As a result, we confirmed that TC2P was not only able to detect change patterns more adequately than the prior technique but also to detect change patterns that were not detected by the prior technique.","PeriodicalId":143800,"journal":{"name":"2021 28th Asia-Pacific Software Engineering Conference (APSEC)","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-12-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"126901542","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 helps them generate business insights, improves decision making and creates a competitive advantage. Typically, organizations want exclusive control over data for their own advantage. To protect individual and national rights, governments frame data residency regulations. These laws govern the geographical constraints where storage, transmission and processing of data are allowed. Non-compliance to data regulations often lead to serious reper-cussions for organizations, ranging from hefty penalties to loss of brand value. The different variants of data residency constraints such as first copy within country storage poses challenges in designing a regulation-compliant application deployment architecture. In this paper, we propose a framework and multi-criteria decision technique for determining an optimal single cloud or multi cloud architecture. The framework is based on several criteria including permitted data flows as per regulations, data sensitivity and type, availability of cloud providers etc. The framework helps Cloud architects rapidly arrive at a set of deployment architecture options, which can further optimize by the architects.","PeriodicalId":143800,"journal":{"name":"2021 28th Asia-Pacific Software Engineering Conference (APSEC)","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-12-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"114515114","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 in this area concentrated on the analysis of release notes and on tracking user reviews to support app evolution with issue trackers. However, little is known about the impact of user reviews on the evolution of mobile apps. Our work explores the role of user reviews in app updates based on release notes. For this purpose, we collected user reviews and release notes of Spotify, the ߢnumber one’ app in the ‘Music’ category in Apple App Store, as the research data. Then, we manually removed non-informative parts of each release note, and manually determined the relevance of the app reviews with respect to the release notes. We did this by using Word2Vec calculation techniques based on the top 80 app release notes with the highest similarities. Our empirical results show that more than 60 % of the matched reviews are actually irrelevant to the corresponding release notes. When zooming in at these relevant user reviews, we found that around half of them were posted before the new release and referred to requests, suggestions, and complaints. Whereas, the other half of the relevant user reviews were posted after updating the apps and concentrated more on bug reports and praise.","PeriodicalId":143800,"journal":{"name":"2021 28th Asia-Pacific Software Engineering Conference (APSEC)","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-12-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"123263240","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}
