On aspect of this is leveraged quality assessments, which can be used to evaluate third-party coded subsystems, to track quality across the versions of a program, to assess the compression effort (and subsequent cost) required to make a change, and to identify parts of a program in need of preventative maintenance. A description of the QALP tool, its output from just under two million lines of code, and an experiment aimed at evaluating the tool's use in leveraged quality assessment are presented. Statistically significant results from this experiment validate the use of the QALP tool in human leverage quality assessment","PeriodicalId":377450,"journal":{"name":"14th IEEE International Conference on Program Comprehension (ICPC'06)","volume":"23 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2006-06-14","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"130826902","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}

Previously we have used Webmining techniques on runtime trace data to identify these important classes. Here, we reprise this Webmining technique and make a thorough comparison of its effectiveness when collecting static information of the software system under study. Apache Ant and Jakarta JMeter, two medium-scale open source Java software systems, serve as case studies. From publicly available developers notes we conclude that the Webmining technique in combination with dynamic analysis provides the best results with a level of recall of 90% when comparing with the developers' opinion","PeriodicalId":377450,"journal":{"name":"14th IEEE International Conference on Program Comprehension (ICPC'06)","volume":"1 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2006-06-14","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"128902501","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 design flaws prevent an efficient maintenance, and further development of a system. This research proposes a novel metric-based heuristic framework to detect and locate object-oriented design flaws from the source code. It is accomplished by evaluating design quality of an object-oriented system through quantifying deviations from good design heuristics and principles. While design flaws can occur at any level, the proposed approach assesses the design quality of internal and external structure of a system at the class level which is the most fundamental level of a system. In a nutshell, design flaws are detected and located systematically in two phases using a generic OO design knowledge-base. In the first phase, hotspots are detected by primitive classifiers via measuring metrics indicating a design feature (e.g. complexity). In the second phase, individual design flaws are detected by composite classifiers using a proper set of metrics. We have chosen JBoss application server as the case study, due to its pure OO large size structure, and its success as an open source J2EE platform among developers","PeriodicalId":377450,"journal":{"name":"14th IEEE International Conference on Program Comprehension (ICPC'06)","volume":"17 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2006-06-14","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"126068465","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, as yet, little work exists on developing and assessing an encompassing framework within which one can compare comprehension studies with one another. Several authors have proposed that Bloom's taxonomy could provide such a framework and a lexical-analysis schema has been trialled to classify the data from empirical studies into this taxonomy. The schema is simple to apply but may result in ambiguity and reductionism. This paper proposes an alternative context-aware analysis schema. While such a schema undoubtedly consumes more effort, its value is illustrated by means of a pilot study, where its application is compared to that of the lexical-analysis schema","PeriodicalId":377450,"journal":{"name":"14th IEEE International Conference on Program Comprehension (ICPC'06)","volume":"49 9 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2006-06-14","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"131181494","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}

Görg","doi":"10.1109/ICPC.2006.14","DOIUrl":"https://doi.org/10.1109/ICPC.2006.14","url":null,"abstract":"Software developers often work on multiple simultaneous projects. Even when only a single project is underway, everyday distractions interrupt the development effort. Consequently, developers spend significant effort pursuing recovery of their context. By context, we focus on the classes and methods within the code that are relevant to a specific bug being fixed or enhancement made. Context is reified by a program in terms of a set of presentations (windows a containing source code, command executions, and data files); however, it is not enough to save the latest context. Even when working on a single task, programmers flip between contexts as they extend their understanding, and when they decide on a change, they may have to visit several contexts in order to address all possible ripple effects. Consequently, we would like to record a history of contexts and be able to retrieve them as demanded by the current task. We introduce a novel technique to obtain a context, consisting of a set of methods relevant for the current task, from a programmer's interactions with an IDE. Using this context, we demonstrate how to improve the ability of a programmer to recover the mental state associated with tasks and to facilitate the exploration of software through recommendation systems","PeriodicalId":377450,"journal":{"name":"14th IEEE International Conference on Program Comprehension (ICPC'06)","volume":"8 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2006-06-14","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"134619321","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 ensure an optimal transfer of knowledge between these different peers, a reliable human-readable model of the dynamics of a software artefact is needed. Once these models become machine-verifiable, they can be used throughout an application's lifetime to check whether the documented behavioral properties continue to hold as the application evolves. Unfortunately, most existing modeling media are inadequate to express human-readable behavioral models which are at the same time machine-verifiable. We therefore propose a declarative platform wherein behavioral program models can be expressed in terms of user-defined high-level concepts and be automatically verified against an application's actual behavior. We demonstrate our approach by using it to both document and verify an interpreter for a garbage-collected programming language","PeriodicalId":377450,"journal":{"name":"14th IEEE International Conference on Program Comprehension (ICPC'06)","volume":"9 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2006-06-14","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"127175541","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}
