In this paper, we focus on bug triaging and provide visual means to explore the effort estimation quality and the bug life-cycle of reported problems. Our approach follows the Micro/Macro reading technique and uses a combination of graphical views to investigate details of individual problem reports while maintaining the context provided by the surrounding data population. This enables the detection and detailed analysis of hidden patterns and facilitates the analysis of problem report outliers. In an industrial study, we use our approach in various problem report analysis scenarios and answer questions related to effort estimation and resource planning.","PeriodicalId":247441,"journal":{"name":"2009 IEEE International Conference on Software Maintenance","volume":"117 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2009-12-31","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"115167811","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 type of such defects spans multiple components of the system, and we call such defects pervasive multiple-component defects (PMCDs). In this paper, we describe an empirical study of six releases of a large legacy software system (of approx. size 20 million physical lines of code) to analyze PMCDs with respect to: (1) the complexity of fixing such defects and (2) the persistence of defect-prone components across phases and releases. The overall hypothesis in this study is that PMCDs inflict a greater negative impact than do other defects on defect-correction efficacy. Our findings show that the average number of changes required for fixing PMCDs is 20–30 times as much as the average for all defects. Also, over 80% of PMCD-contained defect-prone components still remain defect-prone in successive phases or releases. These findings support the overall hypothesis strongly. We compare our results, where possible, to those of other researchers and discuss the implications on maintenance processes and tools.","PeriodicalId":247441,"journal":{"name":"2009 IEEE International Conference on Software Maintenance","volume":"39 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2009-10-30","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"127168614","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}

Several approaches that compare clustering results to an authoritative decomposition have been presented in the literature. Existing evaluation methods typically compress the evaluation results into a single number. They also often disagree with each other for reasons that are not well understood. In this paper, we introduce a novel set of indicators that evaluate structural discrepancies between software decompositions. They also allow researchers to investigate the differences between existing evaluation approaches in a reduced search space. Several experiments with real software systems showcase the usefulness of the introduced indicators.","PeriodicalId":247441,"journal":{"name":"2009 IEEE International Conference on Software Maintenance","volume":"83 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2009-10-30","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"126179873","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}

Meaningful impact analysis in sustained government systems is required for considering non-functional requirements and functional requirements. Performance requirements are a critical component of non-functional areas. For example, if a new system change is set to the system, the impact in terms of the response time must be implemented in each sub-system. In this paper, an XML-based framework can be used to analyze performance impacts on sub-systems and can provide a scheme to enhance impact analysis by performance monitoring using application response measurement. Through a health system example as a case study, a performance requirement model to describe extended trees and adapting analysis result of performance monitoring using application response measurement and XML tree representation are addressed. This paper also proposes a scheme for prioritized processing and an algorithm for effectively enhancing impact analysis in a timely fashion.","PeriodicalId":247441,"journal":{"name":"2009 IEEE International Conference on Software Maintenance","volume":"33 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2009-10-30","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"129792881","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}

Based on this standard, the Software Improvement Group has developed a pragmatic approach for measuring technical quality of software products. This quality model introduces another level below the hierarchy defined by ISO/IEC 9126, which consists of system properties such as volume, duplication, unit complexity and others. A mapping between system properties and ISO/IEC 9126 characteristics is defined in a binary fashion: a property either influences a characteristic or not. This mapping embodies consensus among three experts based, in an informal way, on their experience in software quality assessment. We have conducted a survey-based experiment to study the mapping between system properties and quality characteristics. We used the Analytic Hierarchy Process as a formally structured method to elicit the relative importance of system properties and quality characteristics from a group of 22 software quality experts. We analyzed the results of the experiment with two objectives: (i) to validate the original binary mapping and (ii) to refine the mapping using the elicited relative weights.","PeriodicalId":247441,"journal":{"name":"2009 IEEE International Conference on Software Maintenance","volume":"31 8 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2009-10-30","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"123654303","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}

Because sizes of these test suites can be extremely large, researchers have developed techniques, such as reduction and minimization, to obtain test suites that are “similar” to the original test suite, but smaller. Existing similarity metrics mostly use code coverage; they do not consider the contextual relationships between events. Consequently, reduction based on such metrics may eliminate desirable test cases. In this paper, we present a new parameterized metric, CONTeSSi(n) which uses the context of n preceding events in test cases to develop a new context-aware notion of test suite similarity for EDS. This metric is defined and evaluated by comparing four test suites for each of four open source applications. Our results show that CONT eSSi(n) is a better indicator of the similarity of EDS test suites than existing metrics.","PeriodicalId":247441,"journal":{"name":"2009 IEEE International Conference on Software Maintenance","volume":"79 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2009-10-30","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"127604025","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}

Such metrics are too coarse-grained and too imprecise to capture all facets of a project. In this paper, we mine the code changes in the source code repository and study the concept of time dependence of code changes. Using this concept, we can track the progress of a software project as the progress of a building. We can examine how changes build on each other over time and determine the impact of these changes on the quality of a project. In particular, we study whether new changes are built just-in-time or if they build on older, stable code. Through a case study on two large open source projects (PostgreSQL and FreeBSD), we show that time dependence varies across projects and throughout the lifetime of each project. We also show that there is a high linear correlation between building on new code and the occurrence of bugs.","PeriodicalId":247441,"journal":{"name":"2009 IEEE International Conference on Software Maintenance","volume":"75 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2009-10-30","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"132640482","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}
