Model-based testing relies on behavior models for the generation of model traces: input and expected output---test cases---for an implementation. We use the case study of an automotive network controller to assess different test suites in terms of error detection, model coverage,…
The contribution of this work is the design, implementation, and early evaluation of a programming language that unifies classes and aspects. We call our new module construct the classpect. We make three basic claims. First, we can realize a unified design without significantly c…
Dynamic software visualization is designed to provide programmers with insights as to what the program is doing. Most current visualizations either use program traces to show information about prior runs, slow the program down substantially, show only minimal information, or forc…
Chianti is a change impact analysis tool for Java that is implemented in the context of the Eclipse environment. Chianti analyzes two versions of a Java program, decomposes their difference into a set of atomic changes, and a partial order inter-dependences of these changes is ca…
Many software engineering activities are organized around the idea of concerns. Separation of concerns is a basic tenet of software engineering intended to facilitate the development and evolution of software systems. Unfortunately, separation of concerns is not always possible i…
This full day tutorial will offer instruction on patent, copyright, trade secret and other intellectual property issues faced by developers and users of software in protecting their innovations, including information on avoiding infringing the intellectual property rights of othe…
WEUSE is a workshop dedicated to the problems faced by end-user programmers, and research that can address those problems.
UML sequence diagrams are commonly used to represent object interactions in software systems. This work considers the problem of extracting UML sequence diagrams from existing code for the purposes of software understanding and testing. A static analysis for such reverse engineer…
End users develop more software than any other group of programmers, using software authoring devices such as e-mail filtering editors, by-demonstration macro builders, and spreadsheet environments. Despite this, there has been little research on finding ways to help these progra…

Continuous testing uses excess cycles on a developer's workstation to continuously run regression tests in the background, providing rapid feedback about test failures as code is edited. It reduces the time and energy required to keep code well-tested, and it prevents regression …

The Software Test Program (STP) is a cooperation between Motorola and the Center for Informatics of the Federal University of Pernambuco. It has been conceived with inspiration on the Medical Residency, adjusted to the software development practice. A Software Residency includes …

Over the last few years, product line engineering has become a major theme in software engineering research, and is increasingly becoming a central topic of software engineering practice in the embedded domain.Migrating towards a product line approach is not an easy feat. It is e…
Software has jumped "out of the box" - it controls critical systems; it pervades business and commerce; it is embedded in myriad mechanisms; it infuses entertainment, communication, and other activities of everyday life. Designs for these applications are constrained not only by …
This paper discusses two related challenges faced by software engineering instructors. First, assuming that projects are necessary to produce successful computer science majors, what should be the role of projects and how best do we integrate theory and application? Second, what …
OMG's Model Driven Architecture® (MDA®)[1] unifies and simplifies modeling, design, implementation, and integration of applications -- including large and complex ones -- by defining software fundamentally at the model level, expressed in OMG's standard Unified Modeling Language®…
Future software systems will be intelligent and adaptive. They will have the ability to seamlessly integrate with smart applications that have not been explicitly designed to work together. Traditional software engineering approaches offer limited support for the development of i…
The 7th International Workshop on Economics-Driven Software Engineering Research (EDSER-7) continues to be the leading forum for the discussion of emerging research ideas in software economics. The focus of the workshop is on the use of economic models for reasoning about technic…
