Debugging is a central yet complex activity in software engineering. Prior studies have documented debugging strategies and tool usage, but little theory explains how experienced developers reason about bugs in large, real-world codebases.…

Here practical aspects of conducting research via computer simulations are discussed. The following issues are addressed: software engineering, object-oriented software development, programming style, macros, make files, scripts, libraries,…

Software engineering bots - automated tools that handle tedious tasks - are increasingly used by industrial and open source projects to improve developer productivity. Current research in this area is held back by a lack of consensus of…

Background: The need for empirical investigations in software engineering is growing. Many researchers nowadays, conduct and validate their solutions using empirical research. Survey is one empirical method which enables researchers to…

Experimentation has been considered critical for successful software product and business development, including in video game startups. Video game startups need "wow" qualities that distinguish them from the competition. Thus, they need to…

In recent years, the games industry has made a major move towards data-driven development, using data analytics and player modeling to inform design decisions. Data-driven techniques are beneficial as they allow for the study of player…

Throughout 2021, GitGuardian's monitoring of public GitHub repositories revealed a two-fold increase in the number of secrets (database credentials, API keys, and other credentials) exposed compared to 2020, accumulating more than six…

Software developers experience and share a wide range of emotions throughout a rich ecosystem of communication channels. A recent trend that has emerged in empirical software engineering studies is leveraging sentiment analysis of…

Pervasive use of software applications continues to challenge user privacy when users interact with software systems. Even though privacy practices such as Privacy by Design (PbD), have clear in- structions for software developers to embed…

Consider the situation where a data analyst wishes to carry out an analysis on a given dataset. It is widely recognized that most of the analyst's time will be taken up with \emph{data engineering} tasks such as acquiring, understanding,…

With the wave of high-profile supply chain attacks targeting development and client organizations, supply chain security has recently become a focal point. As a result, there is an elevated discussion on securing the development environment…

Software bug reports often lack crucial information (e.g., steps to reproduce), which makes bug resolution challenging. Developers thus ask follow-up questions to capture additional information. However, according to existing evidence, bug…

Using data from a web-based survey of software developers, the author attempts to determine root causes of "death march" projects and excessive work hours in the software industry in relation to company practices and management. Special…

AI-based systems are software systems with functionalities enabled by at least one AI component (e.g., for image- and speech-recognition, and autonomous driving). AI-based systems are becoming pervasive in society due to advances in AI.…

Datasets of visualization play a crucial role in automating data-driven visualization pipelines, serving as the foundation for supervised model training and algorithm benchmarking. In this paper, we survey the literature on visualization…

Modeling and documentation are two essential ingredients for the engineering discipline of software development. During the last twenty years a wide variety of description and modeling techniques as well as document formats has been…

Background: The state of the art in software engineering consists of a myriad of contributions and the gaps between them; it is difficult to characterize. Questions: In order to help understanding the state of the art, can we identify gaps…

This paper highlights the common pitfalls of overcomplicating the software architecture, development and delivery process by examining two enterprise level web application products built using Microsoft.Net framework. The aim of this paper…

In games, as in and many other domains, design validation and testing is a huge challenge as systems are growing in size and manual testing is becoming infeasible. This paper proposes a new approach to automated game validation and testing.…

Context: Corporate training plays a strategic role in the continuous development of professionals in the software engineering industry. However, there is a lack of systematized understanding of how training initiatives are designed,…
