One important aspect of software reuse is the organization of collections of reusable software artifacts. The Software Information Base (SIB), developed within the ESPRIT project ITHACA, provides a directory to reusable software by storing information about software objects concerning the entire software life-cycle, namely requirements, design and implementation descriptions, as well as aggrega...

background: gender preference is prevalent in some communities and using medical techniques to choose the baby’s sex may cause the gender discrimination and gender imbalance in communities. therefore, evaluating the gender preferences and attitudes towards using sex selection technologies seems to be necessary. methods: this cross-sectional study was conducted in avicenna fertility center. part...

Recently, software defect prediction is an important research topic in the software engineering field. The accurate prediction of defect prone software modules can help the software testing effort, reduce costs, and improve the software testing process by focusing on fault-prone module. Software defect data sets have an imbalanced nature with very few defective modules compared to defect-free o...

This paper analyzes the effect of input profile selection on software testing using the concept of fault detectability profile. It shows that optimality of the input profile during testing depends on factors such as the planned testing effort and the fault detectability profile. To achieve ultra-reliable software, selecting test input uniformly among different input domains is preferred. On the...

Regression test selection analyzes incremental changes to a codebase and chooses to run only those tests whose behavior may be affected by the latest changes in the code. By focusing on a small subset of all the tests, the testing process runs faster and can be more tightly integrated into the development process. Existing techniques for regression test selection consider two versions of the co...

The implementation of an ERP software package is an important investment for an organization, which is characterized also by a high degree of risk. Selecting the most appropriate software is a necessary condition for a successful implementation. This paper is describing the major aspects of software selection in general and the relevant criteria in the case of ERP software.

This paper proposes a feature selection technique for software clustering which can be used in the architecture recovery of software systems. The recovered architecture can then be used in the subsequent phases of software maintenance, reuse and re-engineering. A number of diverse features could be extracted from the source code of software systems, however, some of the extracted features may h...

The process is resource intensive, as it concerns with a lot of dedicated stakeholders gathering ...

Software development organizations believe that Component-Based Software Engineering (CBSE) approach will improve their productivity and quality by selecting pre-existing software components. CBSE is an approach which is used to enhance the reusability because reusability is a way to improve efficiency and productivity of software systems. Component-Based Software Development (CBSD) with reusab...
