Software developers and maintainers need to read and understand source programs and other software artifacts. The increase in size and complexity of software drastically affects several quality attributes, especially understandability and…

Aspect-Oriented Programming (AOP) improves modularity by encapsulating crosscutting concerns into aspects. Some mechanisms to compose aspects allow invasiveness as a mean to integrate concerns. Invasiveness means that AOP languages have…

Designing sustainable systems involves complex interactions between environmental resources, social impact/adoption, and financial costs/benefits. In a constrained world, achieving a balanced design across those dimensions has become…

Quantum software represents disruptive technologies in terms of quantum-specific software systems, services, and applications - leverage the principles of quantum mechanics via programmable quantum bits (Qubits) that manipulate quantum…

Component-based design paradigm is of paramount importance due to prolific growth in the complexity of modern-day systems. Since the components are developed primarily by multi-party vendors and often assembled to realize the overall…

Current autonomic computing systems are ad hoc solutions that are designed and implemented from the scratch. When designing software, in most cases two or more patterns are to be composed to solve a bigger problem. A composite design…

For the right application, the use of programming paradigms such as functional or logic programming can enormously increase productivity in software development. But these powerful paradigms are tied to exotic programming languages, while…

The proponents of Aspect Oriented Software Development (AOSD) methodology have done a tremendous amount of work to bring out the positive effects of its adoption using quantitative assessment. A structured assessment of the methodology…

The object-oriented class is, in general, the most utilized element in programming and modeling. It is employed throughout the software development process, from early domain analysis phases to later maintenance phases. A class diagram…

This preprint specifies quality requirements for a core ontology whose ontological elements such as terms, non-taxonomic relationships, among others, are based on a foundational ontology. The quality requirements are represented in a…

Software development projects management is a complex endeavor because it requires dealing with numerous unforeseen events that constantly arise along the way and that go against the expectations that had been established at the beginning.…

Managing requirements on quality aspects is an important issue in the development of software systems. Difficulties arise from expressing them appropriately what in turn results from the difficulty of the concept of quality itself. Building…

As scientific progress highly depends on the quality of research data, there are strict requirements for data quality coming from the scientific community. A major challenge in data quality assurance is to localise quality problems that are…

This research assesses the aspects of software organizations' DevOps environments and identifies the factors contributing to these environments' success. DevOps is a recent concept, and many organizations are moving from old-style software…

Ensuring high-quality software requires considering the social climate within which the applications will be deployed and used. This can be done by designing quality goals and objectives that are consistent with changing social and ethical…

Usability is a key quality attribute of successful software systems. Unfortunately, there is no common understanding of the factors influencing usability and their interrelations. Hence, the lack of a comprehensive basis for designing,…

Programming languages development has intensified in recent years. New ones are created; new features, often cross-paradigm, are featured in old ones. This new programming landscape makes language selection a more complex decision, both…

Background. Refactoring is a critical task in software maintenance and is generally performed to enforce the best design and implementation practices or to cope with design defects. Several studies attempted to detect refactoring activities…

Context - The exponential growth of data is becoming a significant concern. Managing this data has become incredibly challenging, especially when dealing with various sources in different formats and speeds. Moreover, Ensuring data quality…

Security remains a critical challenge in modern web applications, where threats such as unauthorized access, data breaches, and injection attacks continue to undermine trust and reliability. Traditional Object-Oriented Programming (OOP)…
