Research ArticleOpen accessComparing Approaches for Quality Evaluation of Software Engineering Experiments: An Empirical Study on Software Product Line ExperimentsViviane R. Furtado, Henrique Vignando, Victor França, Edson OliveiraJrThe Software Engineering (SE) research area must provide results of a certain quality for the sake of value. High quality research results may ensure experience and knowledge, which are essential for the technology to be transferred to the industry. One of the means to obtain such quality results is experimentation. Experimentation is a scientific method that aims to provide evidence … …Journal of Computer Science, Vol. 15, Issue 10 · 25 Apr 2019 · 7,747 accessesView PDF Cite

Research ArticleOpen accessSize, Coupling and Cohesion Metrics for Product-Line Architecture Evaluation: Proposal and Experimental ValidationAndre F.R. Cordeiro, Edson OliveiraJrSoftware Product Line (SPL) is an approach for de facto reusing of software artifacts for a given domain. Amongst the artifacts developed in the context of SPL is the Product-Line Architecture (PLA). It is one of the central artifacts of the SPL core assets responsible for abstracting a common architecture for specific products. Organizations should continuously evaluate the quality of … …Journal of Computer Science, Vol. 14, Issue 3 · 22 Mar 2018 · 8,374 accessesView PDF Cite

Research ArticleOpen accessEvaluation 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 PDF Cite

Review ArticleOpen accessComparing SMarty and PLUS for Variability Identification and Representation at Product-Line UML Class Level: A Controlled Quasi-ExperimentAnderson S. Marcolino, Edson OliveiraJrAlthough variability management is one of the main activities of software product lines, current literature provides almost no empirical evaluations on variability management approaches based on UML. This paper aims at experimentally comparing two approaches and picks SMarty and PLUS as representative examples. Such comparison takes into account their effectiveness of expressing correctly and incorrectly variabilities in UML class diagrams. … …Journal of Computer Science, Vol. 13, Issue 11 · 9 Nov 2017 · 7,455 accessesView PDF Cite

Review ArticleOpen accessDefect Types and Software Inspection Techniques: A Systematic Mapping StudyEdson OliveiraJr, Ricardo Theis GeraldiSoftware inspection has been used to guarantee and control the quality of products by detecting defects, which can be spread out throughout the entire software life cycle. Therefore, the main premise is to identify and reduce the number of defect types in software artifacts during inspections. This work focuses on providing an up to dated overview of existing defects in … …Journal of Computer Science, Vol. 13, Issue 10 · 13 Oct 2017 · 7,925 accessesView PDF Cite

Research ArticleOpen accessVariability Resolution and Product Configuration with SMarty: An Experimental Study on UML Class DiagramsAnderson S. Marcolino, Edson OliveiraJr, Itana M.S. Gimenes, Ellen F. BarbosaVariability management is one of the most important activities during software product line development and evolution. Current literature presents several approaches for variability management, especially based on UML, such as, PLUS and SMarty. A systematic process with guidelines support SMarty. Existing literature for these kind of approaches provides slight experimental evidence of their effectiveness at product configuration. Thus, this is … …Journal of Computer Science, Vol. 13, Issue 8 · 8 Jul 2017 · 7,697 accessesView PDF Cite
