Software product release often sacrifices quality concerns and produces messy code to reach the market quickly. At some point, the software becomes difficult to maintain, and reengineering is an available option to improve software quality. By finding a ...

The purpose of this research is to develop a disaster location detector application, specifically about flood that happens in the area of Jakarta, Indonesia. According to social media data updated by the users of twitter, search inquiry is done by its ...

Refinement-based correctness-preserving transformations are considered as the gold standard of program transformations. While we do not dispute the merits of transforming programs in a way that preserves their correctness, we argue that the vast majority ...

Context: One of the most common artifacts in contemporary software projects is a product backlog comprising user stories, bugs, chores or other work items. However, little research has investigated how the backlog is generated or the precise role it ...

Pair Programming¹ has quickly become a widespread technique for teams adopting Agile. The interest has gained even more popularity for those implementing Extreme Programming (XP) which is a well-known Agile methodology. There is a general agreement that ...

In this paper, the agile development of a Mongolian and Chinese all media news teaching system is introduced. The system aims at providing the Mongolian undergraduates of Hohhot Nationalities College in China whose major are journalism and media a ...

Context: Since software development is a complex socio-technical activity that involves coordinating different disciplines and skill sets, it provides ample opportunities for waste to emerge. Waste is any activity that produces no value for the customer ...

Context: Team code ownership is a software development practice where any team member can modify any part of the team's code. However, many factors beyond official policy affect a developer's sense of ownership.

Objective: The purpose of this paper is ...

Agile development is aimed at minimising overall risk and encouraging rapid and flexible response to specification changes by using an iterative process. Despite its iterative feature, studies on the effects of iteration length have been lacking. ...

In this paper is presented the User Stories technique within the Behaviour-Driven Development process by example of the famous Russian bylina (epic poem) "Three trips of Ilya Muromets" written in Gherkin language. In the first part are given ...

Over the last decade, there has been a steady stream of pair programming studies. However, one significant area of pair programming that has not received its due attention is gender. Considering the fact that pair programming is one of the major human-...

The increasing complexity of development projects requires methodological frameworks to support development processes. A method comes with a set of best practices that are enforced and instantiated into processes to drive the realization steps of the ...

Maintainability of a software product affects its maintenance cost and operational life. Maintainability of legacy systems, which have been developed through non-XP methodologies, has become a challenging issue for its maintenance. The iterative ...

As part of a larger research project to understand and improve motivation in an XP-based, software development organization, we undertook a study to investigate the impact of customer-developer interactions on motivation in this organization. Among the ...

When developing enterprise architectures, in the same way as software products, companies have to deal a constant growth on the clients demand for faster results, while facing, at the same time, a big uncertainty on the requirements surrounding the ...

Software maintenance is the continuous process of enhancing the operational life of software. The existing approaches to software maintenance, derived from the traditional approaches to development, are unable to resolve the problems of unstructured ...

This study reports findings of the gender differences within a pair programming context. A large pool of university computer programming course undergraduate and graduate students was paired into three distinct pair categories: male-male, male-female, ...

In this paper we describe Tornado, which we teach in our software engineering project courses. Tornado is a new process model that combines the Unified Process with Scrum elements.

The Tornado model focuses on scenario-based design starting with ...
