Recently, there is an increasing research interest in mining versioning information, i.e. the analysis of the transactions made on version systems to understand how and when a software system evolves. One particular area of interest is the identification of move operations as these are key indicators for refactorings. Unfortunately, there exists no evaluation which identifies the quality (expressed...
Summary form only given. The development environment has vastly changed over the last years. Development architectures of single database servers are replaced by message based exchange servers, cross application handling emerged, business demands change more rapidly and Web portals, Web services etc. require not only new tools to manage software maintenance, but also preventive maintenance tools as...
Measurement based software process improvement needs a non-intrusive approach to determine what and where improvement is needed without knowing anything about the methods and techniques used during project execution. Beside, it is necessary for obtaining successful business management, an accurate process behavior prediction. In order to obtain these results we proposed to use statistical process...
The high cost of software maintenance could potentially be greatly reduced by the automatic refactoring of object-oriented programs to increase their understandability, adaptability and extensibility. This paper describes a novel approach in providing automated refactoring support for software maintenance; the formulation of the task as a search problem in the space of alternative designs. Such a...
Software-intensive systems evolve continuously under the pressure of new and changing requirements, generally leading to an increase in overall system complexity. In this respect, to improve quality and decrease complexity, software artifacts need to be restructured and refactored throughout their lifecycle. Since software architecture artifacts represent the highest level of implementation abstraction,...
