Even though there are many refactoring approaches, very few consider their impact on the software quality. In this paper, we propose a software refactoring approach based on quality attributes. We rely on the measurements of the Quality Model for Object Oriented Design (QMOOD) to recommend Move Method refactorings that improve software quality. In a nutshell, given a software system S, our approach recommends a sequence of refactorings R1,R2,...,Rn that result in system versions S1, S2,..., Sn, where quality (Si+1) > quality (Si). We empirically calibrated our approach, using four systems, to find the best criteria to measure the quality improvement. We performed three types of evaluation to verify the usefulness of our implemented tool, named QMove. First, we applied our approach on 13 open-source systems achieving an average recall of 84.2%. Second, we compared QMove with two state-of-art refactoring tools (JMove and JDeodorant) on the 13 previously evaluated systems, and QMove showed better recall, precision, and f-score values than the others. Third, we evaluated QMove, JMove, and JDeodorant in a real scenario with two proprietary systems on the eyes of their software architects. As result, the experts positively evaluated a greater number of QMove recommendations.","PeriodicalId":443823,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings of the XVII Brazilian Symposium on Software Quality","volume":"35 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2018-10-17","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"124889794","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}

Technical Debt (TD) refers to technical decisions on shortcuts and workarounds taken during the software development. It affects the internal quality of software. Therefore, software maintenance can be difficult when the TD is not perceived or managed in the projects. Despite the increasing attention of practitioners and researchers, TD studies indicate its management (TDM) is still incipient. Particularly in Brazilian Software Organizations (BSOs), there is still a lack of information on how practitioners perceive and manage the TD in software projects. This paper reports the results of two studies aiming to investigate the current knowledge level of practitioners from BSOs regarding TD and TDM, and to produce a summary of the available technologies to manage TD. To achieve these objectives, we surveyed practitioners from BSOs and undertook a quasi-Systematic Literature Review (qSLR) to gather specific TDM technologies. The survey results indicated that the general BSOs practitioners' knowledge regarding TD and TDM is still low. Few participants from the survey reported managing TD. The qSLR results provide evidence-based information about a set of TDM technologies, synthesized in evidence briefings to facilitate their use by software practitioners in the industry. Moreover, this paper offers links to a research package to aid in the replication process and support future investigations.","PeriodicalId":443823,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings of the XVII Brazilian Symposium on Software Quality","volume":"1 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2018-10-17","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"130256758","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 guarantee the quality of an SPL and, consequently, of its generated products, it is necessary to use verification and validation activities, such as software inspections. Thus, it is possible to detect defects in different artifacts from the earliest stages in a software development cycle. To support this activity there is a number of techniques, such as SMartyCheck, defined as a checklist-based reading technique, which allows inspection of SMarty UML diagrams. It is important to note that the SMartyCheck technique was previously evaluated in two empirical studies (one qualitative and one quantitative) taking into consideration UML use case diagrams and class diagrams. Both studies pointed out significant results in favor of SMartyCheck. SMartyCheck evolved encompassing UML component diagrams. In this sense, this paper presents initial evidence of the evaluation of SMartyCheck applied for defect detection in UML component diagram based on a controlled experiment carried out in the academy. SMartyCheck was compared to Ad Hoc inspection technique and had superior results for effectiveness and efficiency. Accuracy provided no significant difference between both techniques.","PeriodicalId":443823,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings of the XVII Brazilian Symposium on Software Quality","volume":"64 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2018-10-17","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"131404191","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 be used systematically in different projects, software processes need to be disseminated in the organization and continuously evaluated when one wants to understand their quality. The evaluation of a software process maintains and promotes its quality and evolution. However, if these evaluations happen from data directly collected from a process that has been applied to a given development project, process quality problems have already influenced the outcome of the process and possibly the software product. Software process models, commonly specified in a process modeling language (PML), specify in a standardized way the elements of a process and the appropriate interactions between them. In addition to assigning to the understanding, communication and execution of a software process in a company, process models offer an opportunity for them to be evaluated before their first execution or even to help identify problems in the process of ongoing projects. This paper presents a proposal to use the concept of bad smells in software process models with the objective of identifying possible disharmonies in the models. Initially bad smells of object-oriented code were analyzed and adapted to SPEM (Software & Systems Process Engineering Meta-Model) to generate a catalog. Subsequently a survey was carried out to validate the definitions, representations and possible impacts of the proposed bad smells, resulting in a validation that presented an overall rate of 86% agreement. It is expected that being possible to characterize bad smells for software processes, to enable their applicability in real software development process.","PeriodicalId":443823,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings of the XVII Brazilian Symposium on Software Quality","volume":"27 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2018-10-17","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"121154132","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, in order to provide a suitable technical solution, it is necessary to take the organizational environment related to the software into account. Use cases have been often used to elicit requirements and represent functionalities that the software must provide to its users. However, use cases are not expressive enough to represent the organizational environment. Moreover, this is not the purpose of use cases. In this context, Enterprise Architecture (EA) emerges as a way to describe the organization's domain. EA provides architectural descriptions that support the alignment between information technology (IT) and organizational processes and, thus, helps developers to properly understand the requirements the software must meet. In this paper, we propose an approach that uses EA models as a basis to define use cases, named CEA (use Cases definition oriented by Enterprise Architecture modeling). To demonstrate the proposal use, we applied it in a project in the Public Security domain. Additionally, CEA was evaluated in an experimental study. The results indicate that EA models helped requirements engineers to define use cases.","PeriodicalId":443823,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings of the XVII Brazilian Symposium on Software Quality","volume":"43 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2018-10-17","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"114565925","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}
