One of the major reasons for software project failure is poor requirements, so numerous requirement smells detection solutions are proposed. Critical appraisal of the proposed requirement fault detection methods is crucial for refining knowledge ...

As a kind of software system, the Event-Based Systems (EBS) respond to events rather than executing a predefined sequence of instructions. Events usually occur in real time, so it is crucial that they are processed in the correct order and within ...

Debugging is a very time consuming task which is not well supported by existing tools. The existing methods do not provide tools enabling optimal developers’ productivity when debugging regressions in complex systems. In this paper we describe a ...

Simplification of execution traces is peculiarly important in the case of software comprehension. The objective is to make execution traces in ways that are more tractable and less difficult. However, the simplification process is a difficult task,...

The concept of virtualization has brought life to the new methods of software testing. With the help of cloud technology, testing has become much more popular because of the opportunities it provides. Cloud technologies provides everything as a ...

In this paper we study the Hausdorff approximation of the shifted Heaviside step function h_t0(t) by sigmoidal functions based on the Chen’s and Pham’s cumulative distribution functions and find an expression for the error of the best ...

This paper presents an environment which generates tests automatically. It is designed for assistance in the software engineering education and is part of the Virtual Education Space. The environment has two functionalities – generation and ...

Reliability testing of complex software at the system level is impossible due to the environmental constraint or the time limitation, so its reliability estimate is often obtained based on the reliability of subsystems or components. The ...
