Its maintenance over time can be costly, especially when maintainers have to recover software architecture knowledge due to poor design documentation. Capturing design decisions is one important aspect in documenting design and even though there has been some work in this area, there has been little emphasis on the evolution of design decisions. In this paper, we analyze design decision models and the issues of not capturing evolving decisions. To tackle these issues, we propose a set of decision attributes that can be used to support evolving decision models.","PeriodicalId":155468,"journal":{"name":"Third International IEEE Workshop on Software Evolvability 2007","volume":"60 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2007-11-12","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"127317313","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 state that these companies follow a specific dynamic in which both product and software process evolve.

The software process evolves by adding new and improving existing process models. In this paper we introduce a technique to visualize the prioritization of evolution steps in both the software product and the software process. With this technique to co-evolution can be studied and this knowledge serve as input for the planning of future startups.","PeriodicalId":155468,"journal":{"name":"Third International IEEE Workshop on Software Evolvability 2007","volume":"52 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2007-11-12","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"131038013","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 paper argues that understanding the history of a software innovation is valuable in setting the context for future innovations. There is no formal discipline of software history. While there is an active body of research in information technology (IT) and innovation management, which seeks to understand how to maximize value from IT spending, this research often ignores the meaningful technological underpinnings of such tools. We suggest that the study of design history should be extended to software artifacts. The paper introduces notions like requirements analysis, technology context, and social context to explain how, and why, certain technologies evolved as they did. We apply these concepts to the history of distributed computing protocols. We conclude with observations drawn from this history that suggest designing software for evolvability must consider the history of similar applications in the requirements analysis.","PeriodicalId":155468,"journal":{"name":"Third International IEEE Workshop on Software Evolvability 2007","volume":"78 11 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2007-11-12","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"126928881","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 majority of existing techniques and tools supporting modification analysis focusing on source code level analysis and require an understanding of the system and its implementation. In this research, we present a novel approach to support the identification of potential modification and re-testing efforts associated with a modification request, without the need for analyzing or understanding the system source code. We combine Use Case Maps with Formal Concept Analysis to provide a unique modification analysis framework that can assist decision makers during modification analysis at the requirements level. We demonstrate the applicability of our approach on a telephony system case study.","PeriodicalId":155468,"journal":{"name":"Third International IEEE Workshop on Software Evolvability 2007","volume":"194 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2007-11-12","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"121716609","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}

Mendes","doi":"10.1109/SE.2007.13","DOIUrl":"https://doi.org/10.1109/SE.2007.13","url":null,"abstract":"A previous study by Bieman et al., investigated whether large, object-oriented classes were more susceptible to change than smaller classes. The measure of change used in the study was the frequency with which the features of a class had been changed over a specific period of time. From a refactoring perspective, the frequency of class change is of value But even for a relatively simple refactoring such as 'rename method', multiple classes may undergo minor modification without any net increase in class (and system) size. In this paper, we suggest that the combination of 'versions of a class and number of added lines of code ' in the bad code 'smell' detection process may give a better impression of which classes are most suitable candidates for refactoring; as such, effort in detecting bad code smells should apply to classes with a high growth rate as well as a high change frequency. To support our investigation, data relating to changes from 161 Java classes was collected. Results concluded that it is not necessarily the case that large classes are more change-prone than relatively smaller classes. Moreover, the bad code smell detection process is informed by using the combination of change frequency and class size as a heuristic.","PeriodicalId":155468,"journal":{"name":"Third International IEEE Workshop on Software Evolvability 2007","volume":"17 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2007-11-12","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"131029663","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}
