In recent years, researchers have been conducting linguistic analyses of mailing lists to understand the intricacies of software development. A new approach for that is to use Neurolinguistic Theory (NT). NT postulates that each person uses a preferred representational cognitive system (PRS) in each specific context. Thus, although each software developer uses a variety of representational systems to understand software, each has his or her own preferred representational system. In this paper, we analyze a psychometrically-based neurolinguistic method to classify the PRSs of software developers in an industrial setting. Our experimental evaluation of the approach is carried out in three combined experiments: (1) a study assesses the PRSs of industrial developers using a project's mailing lists; (2) a survey of software developers to establish their PRSs; and (3) a controlled experiment that carefully analyzes and visualizes strategies to perform software comprehension activities supported by a visualization tool. The results indicate that our approach can indeed be used to determine software developers' PRS.","PeriodicalId":426125,"journal":{"name":"2014 Brazilian Symposium on Software Engineering","volume":"153 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2014-09-08","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"134091694","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}

It is related to the institutionalized way of thinking and acting of people. Our aim is to study and characterize belief systems in software organizations. Our work highlights organizational culture influence by applying the Theory of Reasoned Action (TRA) to software project teams in terms of origins, sources and impacts of beliefs on software development practices. By applying TRA to guide two case studies, we were able to provide rich narrative accounts of software project teams, involving the influence factors associated to team belief systems and attitudes toward practice. Our research has gone through two cycles, comprising 2.5 years of study in Brazilian software companies. A particular moment of the research, the synthesis of the two case studies results is being explored in this paper. A set of interviews and observations was performed with professionals from different project teams and companies. A conceptual framework was built based on the TRA model to guide a cross-case analysis of the results. The synthesis of the analysis highlights the strong influence of past experiences and organizational contexts on software development practices.","PeriodicalId":426125,"journal":{"name":"2014 Brazilian Symposium on Software Engineering","volume":"47 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2014-09-08","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"127216225","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}

Conte","doi":"10.1109/SBES.2014.23","DOIUrl":"https://doi.org/10.1109/SBES.2014.23","url":null,"abstract":"Usability is one of the most important factors that determine the quality of software product. Many usability inspection methods are gaining popularity as an effective alternative for addressing usability issues. However, usability evaluations are often avoided by developers and software companies due to their lack of knowledge and experience in the field. Usability evaluation can be expensive in terms of time and human resources; and sometimes companies' projects do not have budget to hire an expert inspector. Additionally, most of the evaluation methods can only be applied late in development, increasing correction costs. Aiming at solving this problem, we proposed a set of inspection techniques called MIT - Model Inspection Techniques for Usability Evaluation. This paper focuses on one of these techniques: the MIT2 technique that supports the inspection of mockups by software engineers. The goal of this paper is to present the evaluation and the evolution of MIT 2 (version 2), through the results of an empirical study. We discuss the quantitative and qualitative results of the result and their impact on improving the MIT2 technique. We analyzed the qualitative data using the procedures from the Grounded Theory (GT) method. Results indicated that our technique assists nonexpert inspectors uncovering usability problems effectively; the MIT 2 (v2) was considered easy to use and useful by the participants of the study. Finally, the qualitative analysis points out relevant improvement opportunities.","PeriodicalId":426125,"journal":{"name":"2014 Brazilian Symposium on Software Engineering","volume":"50 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2014-09-08","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"133748986","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 effective reuse of libraries depends upon the quality of the API (Application Program Interface) documentation. Well established libraries typically have comprehensive API documentation, for example in Javadocs. However, they typically lack examples and explanations, which makes the effective reuse of the library difficult. StackOverflow.com (SO) is a Question and Answer service directed to issues related to software development. On SO, developers post questions related to a programming topic and other members of the SO community can provide answers to help them solving their problems. Despite the increasing adoption of SO, the information related to a particular topic is spread across the website. Thus, SO still lacks organization of its crowd knowledge. In this paper, we present an automatic approach that organizes the information available on SO in order to build cookbooks (recipe-oriented books) for APIs. The cookbooks are meant to be used through an exploration process (browsing). In order to evaluate the proposed approach, we have generated cookbooks for three APIs widely used by the software development community: SWT, STL and LINQ. Desired properties that cookbooks must meet were identified and a study was conducted to assess to what extent the generated cookbook meet those properties.","PeriodicalId":426125,"journal":{"name":"2014 Brazilian Symposium on Software Engineering","volume":"22 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2014-09-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"114868508","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}
