Test-to-code traceability (relationships between test and system code) plays a vital role in the production, verification, reliability and certification of highly dependable systems. In practical settings, however, traceability tasks are most often observed in the breach by human developers/testers. Prior research works on test-to-code traceability in software engineering do not provide high traceability output and accuracy as they mainly rely on sought-after approaches to recover links. Gamified Software Engineering (GSE) is a growing field that in particular taps into gamification, the application of game mechanics in non-game contexts, to address human-related concerns in the field of SE. This paper argues that a new gamified approach is necessary to tackle the human issue of capturing traceability information in a by-product manner. Thus, it advocates for the induction of gamification concepts in software traceability. We propose a conceptual framework where the gamification is infusing engagement into human-centric traceability tasks to record trace links. An empirical evaluation was performed to assess the performance of the framework compared with a state-of-the-art approach.","PeriodicalId":412361,"journal":{"name":"2016 IEEE 14th International Conference on Software Engineering Research, Management and Applications (SERA)","volume":"48 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2016-06-08","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"124946703","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}

EMA2AOP: From the AADL Error Model Annex to aspect language towards fault tolerant systems EMA2AOP:从AADL错误模型附件到面向容错系统的方面语言

Modelling fault tolerant systems is becoming a serious challenge due to emerging requirements suh as dynamism, distribution and system evolution. In this context, AADL is extended by the Error Model Annex to design architectural error model even for critical systems for analysis and assessment purposes. In this paper, we define a model driven approach to generate fault tolerant application code using aspect oriented programming. First, we integrate fault tolerance elements since the modelling step of a system using AADL and its annex Error Model Annex. Second, we define a set of transformation rules from the EMA annex to the AO4AADL annex, an extension of the AADL language by architectural aspects. The model transformation is generic and not specific to a language. AO4AADL is transformed into aspect code using the same target language as the functional code. Therefore, we ensure separation of concerns at the model level as well as the application level. To validate our approach, we apply it to an infant incubator system.","PeriodicalId":412361,"journal":{"name":"2016 IEEE 14th International Conference on Software Engineering Research, Management and Applications (SERA)","volume":"43 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2016-06-08","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"127132575","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 conference is sponsored by the IEEE Computer Society and the International Association for Computer and Information Sciences (ACIS), hosted by Towson University. The SERA 2016 conference provides an international forum where researchers, practitioners and advanced graduate students are invited to share their experience and exchange new ideas related to all aspects of software engineering research and applications. The conference particularly welcomes contributions at the junction of theory and practice, which serve to disseminate research with an immediate impact on applications. The conference is structured to cover the complete software lifecycle from design through deployment to maintenance and evolution. In this conference, we will have keynote speech by Professor Lawrence Chung, University of Texas at Dallas, who has been well-recognized expert in Requirements Engineering, System/Software Architecture and Systems Engineering. Hope that his talk will be fruitful to all of us who are participating in SERA2016.","PeriodicalId":412361,"journal":{"name":"2016 IEEE 14th International Conference on Software Engineering Research, Management and Applications (SERA)","volume":"58 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2016-06-08","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"134618786","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 agile software planning tools were developed; they grow in number and complexity. Our analysis of 30 of the most known agile planning tools shows that while the majority of them support the key agile planning activities, they still have limitations. In this paper, we presented three limitations to the current agile planning tools and we developed three features to overcome them. A questionnaire is used to evaluate the identified limitations and the proposed features. The evaluation shows that the identified limitations are sound and exist in the real software projects. In addition, most of the participants agree about how to implement the first and second proposed features (providing task effort notification and improving user story prioritization). The evaluation of the third feature (adding new user story/re-prioritize user story by customer) shows that the simple implementation provided for this feature is not sufficient and, hence, there is a need for a more thorough study to best involve customers through agile planning tools. This research contributes in developing advanced agile planning tools supporting the key agile planning activities.","PeriodicalId":412361,"journal":{"name":"2016 IEEE 14th International Conference on Software Engineering Research, Management and Applications (SERA)","volume":"72 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2016-06-08","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"123180568","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}
