In order to understand the evolution in SPL, this paper presents an empirical study to investigate evidence between information from features non-conformities and data from corrective maintenance, based on an SPL industrial project in the medical domain. The investigation aims at tracking the features non-conformities and their likely root causes using results from two preliminary studies. The first one captured and classified the features non-conformities from features specification of nine sub-domains and the second one investigated the evolution of SPL assets along the sub-domains development. The study sample was analyzed using statistical techniques, such as Spearman correlation rank and Poisson regression models. The findings indicated that there is significant positive correlation between feature non-conformities and corrective maintenance. Sub-domains with a high number of feature non-conformities had a higher number of corrective maintenance. Moreover, sub-domains qualified as high risk have also positive correlation with corrective maintenance. This correlation allows the building of predictive models to estimate corrective maintenance based on the risk sub-domain attribute values.","PeriodicalId":286943,"journal":{"name":"2012 26th Brazilian Symposium on Software Engineering","volume":"33 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2012-09-23","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"125036521","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 difficulty regarding to requirements trace ability makes the system changes hard to be managed. Objective: This paper presents two approaches that allow the automated generation of the Requirements Trace ability Matrix (RTM): the RTM-E approach, which is based on the requirement input data, and the RTM-NLP approach, which is based on Natural Language Processing-NLP. Method: The RTM-E comprises the requirements dependency related to the data manipulated by them, while the RTM-NLP comprises the requirements dependency related to the similarities of their functionality descriptions. The results are shown through visualization of information in order to facilitate the understanding of such dependencies. Results: We conducted an experimental study in which both approaches were applied to 18 requirements documents. The RTMs created automatically were compared with the reference RTM created manually based on the stakeholders knowledge. Comparing the generated matrices, it was seen that the RTM-E on average matches 82% to the reference RTM, while the RTM-NLP approach on average matches 53%. Conclusions: The results show that generating the RTM based on these approaches, the effectiveness on determining the requirements dependences is satisfactory and motivates to keep studying in order to make improvements for both approaches.","PeriodicalId":286943,"journal":{"name":"2012 26th Brazilian Symposium on Software Engineering","volume":"37 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2012-09-23","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"116960013","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 relationships among modules in software systems are hard to assess, especially in large programs. Knowing the nature of the software system structures is very important to improve maintenance tasks and other challenging tasks in software development. A previous work of the authors of this paper has defined a model to the topology of software networks, named Little House. This model is a generic macroscopic view of software systems, and it is an adaptation of the well-known Bow-tie model. According to Little House, a software network can be partitioned into six components, in such a way there is a special pattern of connections among them. This paper describes the results of a quantitative evaluation of Little House. The aim of this work is to investigate whether the components of Little House can be described by any pattern of software metric values. The results of this evaluation indicate that in the software systems developed currently there are two main components of Little House that have critical values of metrics. This finding suggests that classes from those components should be carefully considered when maintenance tasks are performed in the program.","PeriodicalId":286943,"journal":{"name":"2012 26th Brazilian Symposium on Software Engineering","volume":"120 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2012-09-23","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"134523137","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}

However, the scattered and tangled nature of certain system's concerns can hinder the proper understanding and treatment of import requirements. A key goal of prominent Aspect-Oriented Requirement Engineering (AORE) techniques, such as EA-Miner and Theme/Doc, is to support the automatic identification of crosscutting concerns at textual requirements documents. However, it is still unknown whether and which of these approaches produce accurate results in large text documents and according to the software engineers' expectations. In this context, this paper presents an analysis regarding the accuracy of the aforementioned AORE approaches when processing requirements of two industry software systems. Around 300 pages of requirements descriptions in these systems were the target of our investigation. In general, EA-Miner suffered more than Theme/Doc from the incompleteness and inconsistencies of requirements documents. In addition, other factors can differently influence each approach's accuracy, such as: the participation of requirements engineers, and the level of details provided in the requirements document.","PeriodicalId":286943,"journal":{"name":"2012 26th Brazilian Symposium on Software Engineering","volume":"1 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2012-09-23","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"134639672","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}

However, given the complexity of the human behavior, motivation seems to be affected by diverse environmental conditions, and to be moderated by individual and organizational characteristics. Therefore, contextualized and explanatory theories are needed to account for this diversity. This research presents a grounded theory aimed at describing and explaining the motivation of software engineers in the context of a small private software company, in Recife, Brazil. Semi structured interviews were carried out over four months, and data were analyzed using grounded theory procedures. As a result, we present statements that connect, relate, and make sense of contextual factors, describing the central story of motivation in the company. In this case study, learning and growth needs emerged as the strongest drivers of motivation, which in turn increase the goal commitment of engineers and create the conditions for better job performance.","PeriodicalId":286943,"journal":{"name":"2012 26th Brazilian Symposium on Software Engineering","volume":"22 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2012-09-23","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"132137837","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}
