Resource leaks are a common type of software fault. Accruing with time, resource leaks can lead to performance degradation and/or service failures. However, there are few effective general methods and tools to detect and especially predict resource leaks. We propose a lightweight statistical approach to tackling this problem. Without complex resource management and modification to the original application code, the proposed approach simply monitors the target's resource usage periodically, and exploits some statistical analysis methods to extract the useful information behind the usage data. The decomposition method from the field of time series analysis is adopted to identify the different components (trend, seasonal, and random) of resource usage. The Mann-Kendall test method is then applied to the decomposed trend component to identify whether a significant consistent upward trend exists (and thus a leak). Furthermore, we establish a prediction procedure based on the decomposition. The basic idea is to estimate the three different components separately (using such statistical methods as curve fitting and confidence limit), and then add them together to predict the total usage. Several experimental studies that take memory as an example resource demonstrate that our proposed approach is effective to detect leaks and predict relevant leak index of interest (e.g., time to exhaustion, time to crossing some dangerous threshold), and has a very low runtime overhead.","PeriodicalId":332420,"journal":{"name":"2013 IEEE International Symposium on Software Reliability Engineering Workshops (ISSREW)","volume":"82 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2013-12-19","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"121809325","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}

A key reason SWDPMH is considered to be of critical importance is that we see a high correlation between SWDPMH and Software Customer Satisfaction (SW CSAT) over a wide spectrum of products and feature releases. Therefore, it is important to try to anticipate SWDPMH for new releases before the software is released to customers, for several reasons: · Early warning that a major feature release is likely to experience substantial quality problems in the field may allow for remediation of the release during, or even prior to, function and system testing · Prediction of SWDPMH enables better planning for subsequent maintenance releases and rollout strategies · Calculating the tradeoffs between SWDPMH and feature volume can provide guidance concerning acceptable feature content, test effort, release cycle timing, and other key parameters affecting subsequent feature releases. Our efforts over the past year have been to enhance our ability to predict SWDPMH in the field. Toward this end, we have developed predictive models, tested the models with major feature releases for strategic products, and provided guidance to development, test, and release management teams on how to improve the chances of achieving best-in-class levels of SWDPMH. This work is ongoing, but several models are currently used in a production mode for five product families, with good results. We plan to achieve production capability with an additional several dozen product families over the next year.","PeriodicalId":332420,"journal":{"name":"2013 IEEE International Symposium on Software Reliability Engineering Workshops (ISSREW)","volume":"29 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2013-12-19","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"127853571","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}

Defect classification plays a major role in categorizing the defects based on components, sub components, different product areas etc. A well defined defects classification mechanism is a base for any type of defect analysis. Defects can be classified based on tags. These tags can be user-defined, shared or personal tags related to any area in a product. Tags can be used for searching the work items and viewing the tagged artifacts. Tags are very easy to create but yet very helpful in categorizing the defects for analysis. Tags are generally used for very specific, detailed defect analysis. During the product implementation, we have used this tagging mechanism extensively which helped us analyzing the defects for better product stability, better performance, focusing on specific areas that needs improvement in the product. We created filter for the tags and saved that view in the project dashboard for quick analysis. We also used the defect view to create a tag cloud which displays the number of work items by tag attribute. In this article, we would show how to use tags effectively and write query with tag attribute for filtering of defects in specific areas in a product. Upon analyzing these tags we found some interesting issues in the product. In this paper, we will show defect categorization using tag cloud in a dynamic way. We will also present how tag cloud provides details of the defect based on importance and number of occurrences. The defect analysis also highlighted some components which needed more attention.","PeriodicalId":332420,"journal":{"name":"2013 IEEE International Symposium on Software Reliability Engineering Workshops (ISSREW)","volume":"365 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2013-12-19","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"124589949","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}

Nevertheless, safety standards differences from distinct domains are non-negligible. We focus in particular on the aviation, automotive and railway standards, all related to the transportation market. We argue that the Safety Integrity Levels are not sufficient to be used as a top level requirement for developing a safety critical system. We argue that Quality of Service is a more generic criterion that takes the trustworthiness as perceived by users into deeper account. In addition safety engineering standards provide very little guidance on how to compose safe systems from components, while this is the established engineering practice. We develop a novel normative concept called Assured Reliability and Resilience Level as a criterion that takes the industrial practice into account and show how it complements the Safety Integrity Level concept. An important difference is that it requires a component to carry a contract and the supporting evidence. ARRL can make a significant contribution to foster cross-domain safety engineering.","PeriodicalId":332420,"journal":{"name":"2013 IEEE International Symposium on Software Reliability Engineering Workshops (ISSREW)","volume":"31 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2013-12-19","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"128290797","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}

By nature, backup applications needs to operate under very infrastructure which are prone to multiple failure right from physical to application layers. If applications are not designed to consider its operating environment effectively they may not respond to fault in operating environment and may result in data loss and data unavailability scenario. They could potential lead into false reporting which later can become issue with data integrity. We at EMC applied multilayered fault injection test strategy for backup product where we identified different layers of product operating environments. The interface between two layers was targeted to inject appropriate fault based on role and functionality of these layers. The response of application and its impact to product behavior was monitored and analyzed. This has helped improving various exception handling, product agility to fault operating environment and improving usability by providing better picture on failure in product. This session can help audience on understanding how an application operating environments plays key role in designing test strategy. This leads into improving product reliability and better customer experience about application.","PeriodicalId":332420,"journal":{"name":"2013 IEEE International Symposium on Software Reliability Engineering Workshops (ISSREW)","volume":"104 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2013-12-19","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"133982596","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 project spanned a little over two years and had an effort in the range of 100,000 hours. The use of Agile was new to this engineering team. However, the senior people in the team had several years of experience with different process models. The project used a Scrum development model and ran three week Sprints. The objective of the ODC analysis was to understand the dynamics of the development as it actually occurred - as opposed to what was on paper or believed to have been implemented. We also wanted to understand the quality of the product produced, its stability and causes of customer pain. The development process had a separate Quality Assurance (QA) function, and a development led test and inspection effort. We wanted to understand their individual effectiveness, and how the structure effected production level quality. This case study was conducted by the senior engineering team along with ODC expertise from our firm. A subset of the application (around 4 major components) were chosen for this study. This allowed for an examination of component level issues, versus systemic issues across the entire application.","PeriodicalId":332420,"journal":{"name":"2013 IEEE International Symposium on Software Reliability Engineering Workshops (ISSREW)","volume":"10 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2013-12-19","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"123742390","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}
