Digital health (DH) software is increasingly deployed to populations where many end users live with one or more health conditions. Yet, DH software development teams frequently operate using implicit, incorrect assumptions about these…
The distinct abilities of older adults to interact with computers has motivated a wide range of contributions in the the form of design guidelines for making technologies usable and accessible for the elderly population. However, despite…
Automated facial age assessment systems operate in either estimation mode - predicting age based on facial traits, or verification mode - confirming a claimed age. These systems support access control to age-restricted goods, services, and…
High-quality data is key to interpretable and trustworthy data analytics and the basis for meaningful data-driven decisions. In practical scenarios, data quality is typically associated with data preprocessing, profiling, and cleansing for…
In recent years, mobile applications have become indispensable tools for managing various aspects of life. From enhancing productivity to providing personalized entertainment, mobile apps have revolutionized people's daily routines. Despite…
Seniors represent a growing user base for mobile applications; however, many apps fail to adequately address their accessibility challenges and usability preferences. To investigate this issue, we conducted an exploratory focus group study…
Test automation is important in software industry but self-assessment instruments for assessing its maturity are not sufficient. The two objectives of this study are to synthesize what an organization should focus to assess its test…
The global ageing population presents a growing societal challenge, creating an urgent need for inclusive technologies that promote autonomy among older adults. Software practitioners can address this by delivering digital services that…
Context: Systematic literature reviews (SLRs) have become standard practise as part of software engineering research, although their quality varies. To build on the reviews, both for future research and industry practice, they need to be of…
We sought to explore and compare the perspectives of three key stakeholder groups: older adults, caregivers (formal health providers and informal caregivers), and digital health software developers on key functional and non-functional…
In order to develop infocommunications devices so that the capabilities of the human brain may interact with the capabilities of any artificially cognitive system a deeper knowledge of aging is necessary. Especially if society does not want…
The increasing complexity of software systems and the influence of software-supported decisions in our society have sparked the need for software that is safe, reliable, and fair. Explainability has been identified as a means to achieve…
Context: Software testability is the degree to which a software system or a unit under test supports its own testing. To predict and improve software testability, a large number of techniques and metrics have been proposed by both…
Actually, software products are increasing in a fast way and are used in almost all activities of human life. Consequently measuring and evaluating the quality of a software product has become a critical task for many companies. Several…
The increasing population of elderly people is associated with the need to meet their increasing requirements and to provide solutions that can improve their quality of life in a smart home. In addition to fear and anxiety towards…
Finding a suited software solution for a company poses a resource-intensive task in an ever-widening market. Software should solve the technical task at hand as perfectly as possible and, at the same time, match the company strategy. Based…
Important building blocks of software engineering concepts are without a doubt technical. During the last decade, research and practical interest for non-technicalities has grown, revealing the building blocks to be various skills and…
Growth of the older adult population has led to an increasing interest in technology-supported aged care. However, the area has some challenges such as a lack of caregivers and limitations in understanding the emotional, social, physical,…
Active aging technologies are increasingly designed to support an active lifestyle. However, the way in which they are designed can raise different barriers to acceptance of and use by older adults. Their designers can adopt a negative…
Self-adaptive software can assess and modify its behavior when the assessment indicates that the program is not performing as intended or when improved functionality or performance is available. Since the mid-1960s, the subject of system…
