Since software projects are always different in nature, past projects may not necessarily cover all aspects of a new project when used as a basis for cost estimation. The CoBRA hybrid cost estimation technique uses expert knowledge to build a causal model of context-specific cost factors and past project data to predict costs in terms of effort as well as to assess the risks of a project. Further practical advantages of CoBRA are its high level of interpretability and its transparency. While our previous studies have shown that a modified CoBRA called Web-CoBRA produces higher prediction accuracy, the method was not fully adopted by our industry partner because of its complex application steps when it is manually performed. In this paper, we report on our experiences with further automating Web-CoBRA based software cost estimation for a software company. It supports group decision-making processes by utilizing a wideband Delphi technique. We identify a range of problems when applying Web-CoBRA in the context of a software company and describe the approaches we used to solve these problems in our new tool called EffortWatch. Furthermore, we report on the evaluation and the effectiveness of EffortWatch using a technology acceptance model (TAM) questionnaire. The result is then compared with a previous study, showing EffortWatch drastically improves the use of the Web-CoBRA technique.","PeriodicalId":218839,"journal":{"name":"2008 15th Asia-Pacific Software Engineering Conference","volume":"51 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2008-12-03","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"114774445","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}

To mitigate the effects of soft errors, a variety of software-based fault tolerance methodologies have been proposed for their low costs. Data duplication techniques have the advantage of flexible and general implementation with strong capacity for error detection. However, the trade-off between reliability, performance and memory overhead should be carefully considered before employing data duplication techniques. In this paper, we first introduce an analytical model, named PRASE (Program Reliability Analysis with Soft Errors), which is able to access the impact of soft errors for the reliability of a program. Furthermore, the analytical result of PRASE points out a factor about data reliability weight, which meters the criticality of data for the overall reliability of the target program. Based on PRASE, we propose a novel data duplication approach, called ODD, which can provide the optimum error coverage under system performance constraints. To illustrate the effectiveness of our method, we perform several fault injection experiments and performance evaluations on a set of simple benchmark programs using the SimpleScalar tool set.","PeriodicalId":218839,"journal":{"name":"2008 15th Asia-Pacific Software Engineering Conference","volume":"64 2 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2008-12-03","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"116029779","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}

Here, rigorous software testing becomes immensely important. Many combinations of possible input parameters, hardware/software environments, and system conditions need to be tested and verified against for conformance. Due to resource constraints as well as time and costing factors, considering all exhaustive test possibilities would be impossible (i.e. due to combinatorial explosion problem). Earlier work suggests that pairwise sampling strategy (i.e. based on two-way parameter interaction) can be effective. Building and complementing earlier work, this paper discusses an efficient pairwise test data generation strategy, called G2Way. In doing so, this paper demonstrates the correctness of G2Way as well as compares its effectiveness against existing strategies including AETG and its variations, IPO, SA, GA, ACA, and All Pairs. Empirical evidences demonstrate that G2Way, in some cases, outperformed other strategies in terms of the number of generated test data within reasonable execution time.","PeriodicalId":218839,"journal":{"name":"2008 15th Asia-Pacific Software Engineering Conference","volume":"17 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2008-12-03","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"125503602","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}
