Software architecture consists of series of decisions taken to give a structural solution that meets all the technical and operational requirements [24]. The paper involves code refactoring. Code refactoring is a process of changing the internal structure of the code without altering its external behavior. This paper focuses over open source systems experimental studies that are DMARF and GIPSY...

This paper examines how ISO/IEC 9126-1 and ISO/IEC 25010 quality models can be applied to software testing products in industrial environment. We present a set of code smells for test systems written in TTCN-3 and their categorization according to quality model standards. We demonstrate our measurements on industrial and ETSI projects, and provide a method for estimating their effects on produc...

The aim of this investigation into test smells was to find out how familiar developers are with test smells, the frequency of test smells and their severity in the industrial world. First of all, a taxonomy of different test smells was created and grouped according to programming principles as a basis for this study. Several interviews were then conducted to find out which test smells to includ...

The increasing complexity of software systems has raised the need for code analysis tools to assess its quality. However, these tools offer predefined metrics or evaluation criteria, which are frequently hard to extend or modify. For this purpose, we have developed JAVACHECK, a DomainSpecific Language targeted to define expected properties of Java code bases. JAVACHECK can be used in a variety ...

Parallel computing architectures have been proven to significantly boost performance and are, therefore, being increasingly adopted in industrial applications. However, our experience with applications built on parallel computing architectures reveals that often they are not designed properly to leverage the power of these architectures and consequently suffer from performance ''smells''. We be...

Nowadays, more and applications are developed for running on a distributed ledger technology, namely dApps. The business logic of dApps is usually implemented within smart contracts through Solidity, programming language writing different blockchain platforms, including the popular Ethereum. In Ethereum, run machines miners gas corresponds to execution fee compensating such computing resources....

Software Quality is a major concern in software engineering development in order to be competitive. Such a quality can be achieved by a possible technique called Refactoring where the systems external behaviour of the system is not changed. Initially we present our work by analyzing the case studies of ongoing researches of DMARF and GIPSY by understanding their needs and requirements involving...
