Due to the novelty of the smartphone platform and tools, and the low barrier to entry for app distribution, apps are prone to errors, which affects user experience and requires frequent bug fixes. An essential step towards correcting this situation is understanding the nature of the bugs and bug-fixing processes associated with smartphone platforms and apps. However, prior empirical bug studies have focused mostly on desktop and server applications. Therefore, in this paper, we perform an in-depth empirical study on bugs in the Google Android smartphone platform and 24 widely-used open-source Android apps from diverse categories such as communication, tools, and media. Our analysis has three main thrusts. First, we define several metrics to understand the quality of bug reports and analyze the bug-fix process, including developer involvement. Second, we show how differences in bug life-cycles can affect the bug-fix process. Third, as Android devices carry significant amounts of security-sensitive information, we perform a study of Android security bugs. We found that, although contributor activity in these projects is generally high, developer involvement decreases in some projects, similarly, while bug-report quality is high, bug triaging is still a problem. Finally, we observe that in Android apps, security bug reports are of higher quality but get fixed slower than non-security bugs. We believe that the findings of our study could potentially benefit both developers and users of Android apps.","PeriodicalId":309343,"journal":{"name":"2013 17th European Conference on Software Maintenance and Reengineering","volume":"71 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2013-03-05","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"133727018","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}

Eclipse framework is one such popular and widely adopted framework that has been evolving for over a decade. Like many other evolving software systems, the Eclipse SDK framework has both stable and supported APIs (good interfaces) and unstable, discouraged and unsupported non-APIs (bad interfaces). However, despite being discouraged by Eclipse, in our experience, the usage of bad interfaces is not uncommon. In this thesis, by means of a series of empirical studies, we quantify/qualify some the challenges faced by Eclipse third-party plug-in developers in using the interfaces provided by the Eclipse SDK framework. Furthermore, we propose solutions to the identified challenges, like changes in development strategy to both interface providers and interface users. In particular, the lessons learned from this study can provide valuable information in particular to the interface providers, i.e., Eclipse SDK developers, and the interface uses, i.e., ETP developers, in co-evolving the Eclipse framework. In general, the lessons learned can be transferable to other framework ecosystem.","PeriodicalId":309343,"journal":{"name":"2013 17th European Conference on Software Maintenance and Reengineering","volume":"34 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2013-03-05","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"128256258","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}

Weigert","doi":"10.1109/CSMR.2013.36","DOIUrl":"https://doi.org/10.1109/CSMR.2013.36","url":null,"abstract":"Object oriented programming languages have raised the level of abstraction by supporting the object querying on collections. Programming languages can execute first class query constructs, using query optimization techniques from the database field, for run time optimizations. Existing approaches, however, such as Java Query Language (JQL), which executes such query constructs on collections have high run time overhead. Therefore, we propose an approach to reduce the burden of run time overhead by performing most of the query optimization for object queries on collections at compile time. This approach both analyzes the source code and obtains the metadata provided through annotations. It relies on building histograms from the metadata information. Then, the predicate and join selectivity estimates within a query are computed from these histograms. The selectivity estimates are maintained accurate with the incremental maintenance of histograms to the data changes in the program at run time. Next, both the selection and join optimizations are applied on the queries. The optimizations help in skipping and eliminating the execution of some of the predicates and joins based on the collected metadata. Finally, a query plan is generated at the compile time through the proposed selectivity cost heuristic. The query itself is executed at run time according to the determined query plan. But, in cases of inaccurate metadata and significant data changes in the source code, the query plan is modified at run time according to the correct selectivity estimates obtained from the updated histograms. Our experimental results demonstrate that our approach reduces the run time overhead of a program with collections more than the earlier approaches such as JQL.","PeriodicalId":309343,"journal":{"name":"2013 17th European Conference on Software Maintenance and Reengineering","volume":"24 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2013-03-05","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"116914147","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}
