Research shows, however, that spreadsheets often contain faults. Thus, in previous work, we presented a methodology that assists spreadsheet users in testing their spreadsheet formulas. Our empirical studies have shown that this methodology can help end-users test spreadsheets more adequately and efficiently; however, the process of generating test cases can still represent a significant impediment. To address this problem, we have been investigating how to automate test case generation for spreadsheets in ways that support incremental testing and provide immediate visual feedback. We have utilized two techniques for generating test cases, one involving random selection and one involving a goal-oriented approach. We describe these techniques, and report results of an experiment examining their relative costs and benefits.","PeriodicalId":186061,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings of the 24th International Conference on Software Engineering.

Building product populations with software components 用软件组件构建产品群

{"title":"Building product populations with software components","authors":"R. V. Ommering","doi":"10.1145/581339.581373","DOIUrl":"https://doi.org/10.1145/581339.581373","url":null,"abstract":"Two trends have made reuse of embedded software for consumer electronics an urgent issue: the software of individual products becomes more and more complex, and the market demands a larger variety of products at an increasing rate. For that reason, various business groups within Philips organize their products as product families. A third trend is the integration of functions that until now were only found in separate products (e.g. a TV with Dolby Digital sound and a built-in DVD player). This requires software reuse between product families, which (when organized systematically), leads to a product population approach. We have set up such a product population approach, and applied it in various business groups within our organization. We use a component technology that stimulates context independence, and allows the composition of new products out of existing parts. We use an architectural description language to explicitly describe the architecture, and also to generate efficient bindings. We have aligned our development process and organization with the new 'compositional' way of working. The paper outlines our approach and reports on our experiences with it.","PeriodicalId":186061,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings of the 24th International Conference on Software Engineering.

Role-based exploration of object-oriented programs 面向对象程序的基于角色的探索

Rinard","doi":"10.1145/581376.581379","DOIUrl":"https://doi.org/10.1145/581376.581379","url":null,"abstract":"We present a new technique for helping developers understand heap properties of object-oriented programs and how the actions of the program affect these properties. Our dynamic analysis uses the aliasing properties of objects to synthesize a set of roles; each role represents an abstract object state intended to be of interest to the developer. We allow the developer to customize the analysis to explore the object states and behavior of the program at multiple different and potentially complementary levels of abstraction. The analysis uses roles as the basis for three abstractions: role transition diagrams, which present the observed transitions between roles and the methods responsible for the transitions; role relationship diagrams, which present the observed referencing relationships between objects playing different roles; and enhanced method interfaces, which present the observed roles of method parameters. Together, these abstractions provide useful information about important object and data structure properties and how the actions of the program affect these properties. We have used our implemented role analysis to explore the behavior of several Java programs. Our experience indicates that, when combined with a powerful graphical user interface, roles are a useful abstraction for helping developers explore and understand the behavior of object-oriented programs.","PeriodicalId":186061,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings of the 24th International Conference on Software Engineering.

Certain aspects of the Open Source development method are having fundamental and far reaching consequences on general software engineering practices. To leverage such Open Source methods and tools, we have defined an innovative software engineering paradigm for large corporations: progressive open source (POS). POS leverages the power of Open Source methods and tools for large corporations in a progressive manner: starting from completely within the corporation, to include partner businesses, and eventually complete Open Source. In this paper we present the design goals and principles for POS. We illustrate POS with two programs in HP: Corporate Source and the collaborative development program. We present early results from both these programs suggesting the power and necessity of POS for all modern large corporations.","PeriodicalId":186061,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings of the 24th International Conference on Software Engineering.

Network abstractions for context-aware mobile computing 上下文感知移动计算的网络抽象

{"title":"Network abstractions for context-aware mobile computing","authors":"G. Roman, C. Julien, Qingfeng Huang","doi":"10.1145/581384.581385","DOIUrl":"https://doi.org/10.1145/581384.581385","url":null,"abstract":"Context-aware computing is characterized by the ability of a software system to continuously adapt its behavior to a changing environment over which it has little or no control. Previous work along these lines presumed a rather narrow definition of context, one that was centered on resources immediately available to the component in question, e.g., communication bandwidth, physical location, etc. We explore context-aware computing in the setting of ad hoc networks consisting of numerous mobile hosts that interact with each other opportunistically via transient wireless interconnections. We extend the context to encompass awareness of an entire neighborhood within the ad hoc network. A formal abstract characterization of this new perspective is proposed. The result is a specification method and associated context maintenance protocol. The former enables an application to define an individualized context, one that extends across multiple mobile hosts in the ad hoc network. The latter makes it possible to delegate the continuous reevaluation of the context and the performance of operations on it to some middleware operating below the application level. This relieves application development of the obligation of explicitly managing mobility and its implications on the component's behavior.","PeriodicalId":186061,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings of the 24th International Conference on Software Engineering.

The possibility of early estimation of the potential faultiness of software could be of great help for planning and executing testing activities. Most research concentrates on the study of different techniques for computing multivariate models and evaluating their statistical validity, but we still lack experimental data about the validity of such models across different software applications. The paper reports on an empirical study of the validity of multivariate models for predicting software fault-proneness across different applications. It shows that suitably selected multivariate models can predict fault-proneness of modules of different software packages.","PeriodicalId":186061,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings of the 24th International Conference on Software Engineering.

The resulting languages and environments, although technically successful, did not receive much attention from industry. On the contrary, researchers and practitioners have recently started experimenting with the usage of UML as a PML. Being so popular and widely used, UML has an important competitive advantage compared to any specialized PML. However, it has also a main limitation. While most PMLs are executable by some process engine, UML was conceived as a non-executable, semi-formal language. The work described aims at assessing the possibility of employing a subset of UML as an executable PML. The article proposes a formalization of the semantics of the UML subset and presents the translation of UML process models into code, which can be enacted in the OPSS process-centered environment. The paper also presents a case study to validate the approach. We expect that process modeling by means of UML is easier and available to a larger community of software process managers. Moreover, process enactment makes the process more efficient, reliable, predictable and controllable, as widely shown by previous research.","PeriodicalId":186061,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings of the 24th International Conference on Software Engineering.

It is surprisingly difficult to write these properties correctly. There are rigorous mathematical formalisms for representing properties, but these are often difficult to use.

PROPEL aims to make the job of writing and understanding properties easier by providing templates that explicitly capture these details as options for commonly-occurring property patterns.
