This paper presents the results of a research study related to software system failures, with the goal of understanding how we might better evolve, maintain and support software systems in production. We have qualitatively analyzed thirty…

Testing plays an important role in securing the success of a software development project. Prior studies have demonstrated beneficial effects of applying acceptance testing within a Behavioural-Driven Development method. In this research,…

Context: It is an enigma that agile projects can succeed 'without requirements' when weak requirements engineering is a known cause for project failures. While agile development projects often manage well without extensive requirements test…

Security holds an important role in a software. Most people are not aware of the significance of security in software system and tend to assume that they will be fine without security in their software systems. However, the lack of security…

As artificial intelligence (AI) tools become increasingly embedded in software development workflows, questions persist about their true impact on developer productivity and experience. This paper presents findings from a mixed-methods…

Using continuous development, deployment, and monitoring (CDDM) to understand and improve applications in a customer's context is widely used for non-safety applications such as smartphone apps or web applications to enable rapid and…

Deep-Learning(DL) applications have been widely employed to assist in various tasks. They are constructed based on a data-driven programming paradigm that is different from conventional software applications. Given the increasing popularity…

Computing systems rarely deliver best possible performance due to ever increasing hardware and software complexity and limitations of the current optimization technology. Additional code and architecture optimizations are often required to…

Software engineering is extremely information-intensive. Every day developers work with source code, version repositories, issue trackers, documentation, web-based and other information resources. However, three key aspects of information…

GitHub Marketplace is expanding by approximately 41% annually, with new tools; however, many additions replicate existing functionality. We study this phenomenon in the platform's largest segment, Continuous Integration (CI), by linking…

Experts agree that keeping systems up to date is a powerful security measure. Previous work found that users sometimes explicitly refrain from performing timely updates, e.g., due to bad experiences which has a negative impact on end-user…

Context: Companies adapt agile methods, practices or artifacts for their use in practice since more than two decades. This adaptions result in a wide variety of described agile practices. For instance, the Agile Alliance lists 75 different…

Test suites are designed to validate the operation of a system against requirements. One important aspect of a test suite design is to ensure that system operation logic is tested completely. A test suite should drive a system through all…

Nowadays, intelligent systems and services are getting increasingly popular as they provide data-driven solutions to diverse real-world problems, thanks to recent breakthroughs in Artificial Intelligence (AI) and Machine Learning (ML).…

Performance regressions in large-scale software systems can lead to substantial resource inefficiencies, making their early detection critical. Frequent benchmarking is essential for identifying these regressions and maintaining…

Software security requirements have been traditionally considered as a non-functional attribute of the software. However, as more software started to provide services online, existing mechanisms of using firewalls and other hardware to…

GitHub natively supports workflow automation through GitHub Actions. Yet, workflow maintenance is often considered a burden for software developers, who frequently face difficulties in writing, testing, debugging, and maintaining workflows.…

Managing technical quality in agile Research and Development (R&D) software projects represents a persistent challenge, particularly in contexts characterized by high technical uncertainty and experimental pressure. This exploratory pilot…

Multilingual software development integrates multiple languages into a single application, with the Foreign Function Interface (FFI) enabling seamless interaction. While FFI boosts efficiency and extensibility, it also introduces risks.…

Design systems represent a user interaction design and development approach that is currently of avid interest in the industry. However, little research work has been done to synthesize knowledge related to design systems in order to inform…
