Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractEvaluation of Test Case Generation based on a Software Product Line for Model TransformationAlexandre Augusto Giron, Itana Maria de Souza Gimenes, Edson OliveiraJrModel-Driven Engineering (MDE) supports model evolution and refinement by means of model transformations at several abstraction levels. Validating these transformations is essential to ensure the quality and correctness of such models. However, MDE transformations become more complex to validate, for example, when they are implemented in different languages. One particular example is the transformation of the SyMPLES approach. SyMPLES is … …Journal of Computer Science, Vol. 14, Issue 1 · 22 Jan 2018 · 8,282 accessesView PDFCite
Review ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractAn Overview on the use of Ontologies in Software EngineeringDaniel Strmečki, Ivan Magdalenić, Dragutin KermekOne of the main goals of the Software Engineering (SE) discipline is to find higher abstraction levels and ways to reuse software in order to increase its productivity and quality. Ontologies, which are typically considered as a technique or an artifact used in one or more software lifecycle phases, may be used to help achieve that goal. This paper provides … …Journal of Computer Science, Vol. 12, Issue 12 · 9 Feb 2017 · 7,353 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractCFD-PBE Modelling and Simulation of Enzymatic Hydrolysis of Cellulose in a Stirred TankNorazaliza Mohd Jamil, Qi WangRenewable energy or biofuel from lignocellulosic biomass is an alternative way to replace the depleting fossil fuels. The production cost can be reduced by increasing the concentration of biomass particles. However, lignocellulosic biomass is a suspension of natural fibres and processing at high solid concentration is a challenging task because it will affect the mixing quality between the enzyme and … …Journal of Mathematics and Statistics, Vol. 12, Issue 4 · 25 Oct 2016 · 7,999 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractA NOVEL APPROACH FOR TEST SUITE PRIORITIZATIONThangavel Prem Jacob, Thavasi Anandam RaviSoftware testing is an expensive, time consuming, important activity that controls the quality of the software and important part of the software development and the maintenance. In testing the time is spent mainly for generating test cases and to test them. Whenever the software product gets modified, a group of the test cases has to be re-executed and the new … …Journal of Computer Science, Vol. 10, Issue 1 · 12 Nov 2013 · 6,908 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractA Study of Knowledge Management Process Practices in Very Small Software CompaniesShuib Basri, Rory V. O’ConnorProblem statement: Software development is distinct from other types of engineering because the product is intangible, progress is not explicit and team members rely on the documentation of others to review progress. In addition, there are no standard processes, which make it difficult to predict which process will cause development problems. The discourse of knowledge management is becoming more evident … …American Journal of Economics and Business Administration, Vol. 3, Issue 4 · 6 Mar 2012 · 8,195 accessesView PDFCite

PunithavalliProblem statement: A well designed user interface is comprehensible and controllable, helping users to complete their work successfully and efficiently and to feel competent and satisfied. To improve the usability of a software system, usability patterns can be applied. However, there are short comes shows that the software architecture of a system restricts certain usability patterns from being modified after … …Journal of Computer Science, Vol. 7, Issue 5 · 7 May 2011 · 6,880 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractJTst- An Automated Unit Testing Tool for Java ProgramKamal Zuhairi Zamli, Nor Ashidi Mat IsaSoftware testing is an integral part of software development lifecycle. Lack of testing can often lead to disastrous consequences including lost of data, fortunes, and even lives. Despite its importance, current software testing practice lacks automation, and is still primarily based on highly manual processes from the generation of test cases up to the actual execution of the test. Although … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 5, Issue 2 · 28 Feb 2008 · 7,366 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractSQIMSO: Quality Improvement for Small Software OrganizationsRabih Zeineddine, Nashat MansourSoftware quality improvement process remains incomplete if it is not initiated and conducted through a wide improvement program that considers process quality improvement, product quality improvement and evolution of human resources. But, small software organizations are not capable of bearing the cost of establishing software process improvement programs. In this work, we propose a new software quality improvement model for … …Journal of Computer Science, Vol. 1, Issue 3 · 30 Sep 2005 · 7,046 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractA Fuzzy Approach for Integrated Measure of Object-Oriented Software TestabilityVandana Gupta, K. K. Aggarwal, Yogesh SinghFor large software systems, testing phase seems to have profound effect on the overall acceptability and quality of the final product. The success of this activity can be judged by measuring the testability of the software. A good measure for testability can better manage the testing effort and time. Different Object Oriented Metrics are used in measurement of object-oriented testability … …Journal of Computer Science, Vol. 1, Issue 2 · 30 Jun 2005 · 7,905 accessesView PDFCite
