A systematic approach to software evolution
نویسنده
چکیده
We present an approach to adjust existing software to new or changed requirements in an systematic way. The approach relies on a set of intermediate artifacts linked by mappings that bridge the gap between requirements and code. Those artifacts and the links between them can be constructed and maintained with reasonable effort. Additional support is supplied by bookkeeping and validation concepts. We demonstrate the usefulness of our approach by performing our method on a real-life application.

Comparative Approach to the Backward Elimination and for-ward Selection Methods in Modeling the Systematic Risk Based on the ARFIMA-FIGARCH Model
The present study aims to model systematic risk using financial and accounting variables. Accordingly, the data for 174 companies in Tehran Stock Exchange are extracted for the period of 2006 to 2016. First, the systematic risk index is estimated using the ARFIMA-FIGARCH model. Then, based on the research background, 35 affective financial and accounting variables are simultaneously used with t...
متن کاملOpen Source Software Evolution and Its Dynamics
This thesis undertakes an empirical study of software evolution by analyzing open source software (OSS) systems. The main purpose is to aid in understanding OSS evolution. The work centers on collecting large quantities of structural data cost-effectively and analyzing such data to understand software evolution dynamics (the mechanisms and causes of change and growth). We propose a multipurpose...
متن کاملMining Change Logs and Release Notes to Understand Software Maintenance and Evolution
Software change logs and release notes are documents released together with new versions of a software product. They contain the description of the changes made to the previous version and the new features introduced in the new version. In this paper, we present a keywordbased approach to mining and analyzing non-source code documents and define a mathematical framework to represent the data. T...
متن کاملAn Approach to Detect the Origin and Distribution of Software Defects in an Evolving Cyber-Physical System
Cyber-Physical Systems (CPS) are usually developed by an incremental approach. A changing environment like demanding user requirements or legislation amendments lead often to multiple development paths in an evolving CPS. Hence, software variability plays an increasingly important role adapting the characteristics of such CPS to different contexts. This paper focuses on software variability rea...
متن کاملTowards a Systematic Definition of Requirements for Software Evolution: A Case-study Driven Investigation
An important part of software life cycle stands in its evolution. Therefore, it is important to manage the requirements dealing with software evolution in an appropriate way. We have developed an approach to systematise the expression of such requirements. This approach is based on a meta-model and a generic typology of operators expressing different kinds of evolutions. The approach can be use...
