Software reading is a key technical activity that aims at achieving whatever degree of understanding is needed to accomplish a particular objective. The various work documents associated with software development (e.g., requirements, design, code, and test plans) often require continual understanding, review and modification throughout the development life cycle. Thus software reading, i.e., th...

Software measurement process must be a good oriented methodical process that measures, evaluates, adjusts, and finally improves the software development process. The main contribution of this work is the easy and extensible solution to software quality of validation and verification in software develop process. Therefore, we use formal approaches in order to describe the fundamental aspects of ...

As models and model transformations are elevated to first-class artifacts within the software development process, there is an increasing need to provide support for techniques and methodologies that are currently missing in modeling practice, but provided readily in other stages of the development lifecycle. Within a model transformation infrastructure, it is vital to provide foundational supp...

For years the development of software artifacts was the sole domain of developers and project managers. However, experience has taught us that the Users play a very important role in software development and construction. On Domain Specific Languages the inclusion of the domain experts directly in the development cycle is a very important characteristic, as they have often an important role in ...

Tagging is included in web application to ease maintenance of large amount of information stored in a web application. With no mention of requirement specification or design document for tagging software, academically or otherwise, integrating tagging software in a web application is a tedious task. In this paper, a framework is presented for integrating tagging software into a web application....

Acceptance test is a crucial procedure in software development for the development of the right requirements that meets the needs and expectations of the stakeholders and users. Due to the problems faced when conducting this test manually, several automated acceptance tools have been developed. This paper presents a comparison analysis of selected automated acceptance tools from the existing li...

The software testing process example, as illustrated in Figure 19, is an 11-step testing process that follows the “V” concept of testing. The “V” represents both the software development process and the 11-step software testing process. The first five steps use verification as the primary means to evaluate the correctness of the interim development deliverables. Validation is used to test the s...
