Identification and prioritization of SLR search tool requirements: an SLR and a survey

Ahmed Al-Zubidy, Jeffrey C. Carver

Empirical Software Engineering > 2019 > 24 > 1 > 139-169

Context The number of published systematic literature reviews (SLRs) in software engineering venues is increasing. However, even with their high adaptation rate, the task of performing an SLR requires a large amount of effort and presents a number of barriers. Specifically, during the SLR search phase authors must expend a lot of time and overcome a large number of barriers. Objective To help alleviate...

Using human error information for error prevention

Wenhua Hu, Jeffrey C. Carver, Vaibhav Anu, Gursimran S. Walia, more

Empirical Software Engineering > 2018 > 23 > 6 > 3768-3800

Developing error-free software requirements is of critical importance to the success of a software project. Problems that occur during requirements collection and specification, if not fixed early, are costly to fix later. Therefore, it is important to develop techniques that help requirements engineers detect and prevent requirements problems. As a human-centric activity, requirements engineering...

Program comprehension of domain-specific and general-purpose languages: replication of a family of experiments using integrated development environments

Tomaž Kosar, Sašo Gaberc, Jeffrey C. Carver, Marjan Mernik

Empirical Software Engineering > 2018 > 23 > 5 > 2734-2763

Domain-specific languages (DSLs) allow developers to write code at a higher level of abstraction compared with general-purpose languages (GPLs). Developers often use DSLs to reduce the complexity of GPLs. Our previous study found that developers performed program comprehension tasks more accurately and efficiently with DSLs than with corresponding APIs in GPLs. This study replicates our previous study...

Issues and Opportunities for Human Error-Based Requirements Inspections: An Exploratory Study

Vaibhav Anu, Gursimran Walia, Wenhua Hu, Jeffrey C. Carver, more

2017 ACM/IEEE International Symposium on Empirical Software Engineering and Measurement (ESEM) > 460 - 465

2017 ACM/IEEE International Symposium on Empirical Software Engineering and Measurement (ESEM)

[Background] Software inspections are extensively used for requirements verification. Our research uses the perspective of human cognitive failures (i.e., human errors) to improve the fault detection effectiveness of traditional fault-checklist based inspections. Our previous evaluations of a formal human error based inspection technique called Error Abstraction and Inspection (EAI) have shown encouraging...

Vision for SLR tooling infrastructure: Prioritizing value-added requirements

Ahmed Al-Zubidy, Jeffrey C. Carver, David P. Hale, Edgar E. Hassler

Information and Software Technology > 2017 > 91 > C > 72-81

Even with the increasing use of Systematic Literature Reviews (SLR) in software engineering (SE), there are still a number of barriers faced by SLR authors. These barriers increase the cost of conducting SLRs. For many of these barriers, appropriate tool support could reduce their impact. In this paper, we use interactions with the SLR community in SE to identify and prioritize a set of requirements...

2017 IEEE 25th International Requirements Engineering Conference (RE) > 382 - 387

2017 IEEE 25th International Requirements Engineering Conference (RE)

The relevance of Requirements Engineering (RE) research to practitioners is a prerequisite for problem-driven research in the area and key for a long-term dissemination of research results to everyday practice. To understand better how industry practitioners perceive the practical relevance of RE research, we have initiated the RE-Pract project, an international collaboration conducting an empirical...

Understanding the Impressions, Motivations, and Barriers of One Time Code Contributors to FLOSS Projects: A Survey

Amanda Lee, Jeffrey C. Carver, Amiangshu Bosu

2017 IEEE/ACM 39th International Conference on Software Engineering (ICSE) > 187 - 197

2017 IEEE/ACM 39th International Conference on Software Engineering (ICSE)

Successful Free/Libre Open Source Software (FLOSS) projects must attract and retain high-quality talent. Researchers have invested considerable effort in the study of core and peripheral FLOSS developers. To this point, one critical subset of developers that have not been studied are One-Time code Contributors (OTC) – those that have had exactly one patch accepted. To understand why OTCs have not...

The 4th International Workshop on Software Engineering for HPC in Computational Science and Engineering

Jeffrey C. Carver, Neil Chue Hong, Selim Ciraci

Computing in Science & Engineering > 2017 > 19 > 2 > 91 - 95

Despite the increasing demand for utilizing high-performance computing (HPC) for CSE applications, software development for HPC historically attracted little attention from the software engineering (SE) community. Paradoxically, the HPC CSE community has increasingly been adopting SE techniques and tools. Indeed, the development of CSE software for HPC differs significantly from the development of...

Process Aspects and Social Dynamics of Contemporary Code Review: Insights from Open Source Development and Industrial Practice at Microsoft

Amiangshu Bosu, Jeffrey C. Carver, Christian Bird, Jonathan Orbeck, more

IEEE Transactions on Software Engineering > 2017 > 43 > 1 > 56 - 75

Many open source and commercial developers practice contemporary code review, a lightweight, informal, tool-based code review process. To better understand this process and its benefits, we gathered information about code review practices via surveys of open source software developers and developers from Microsoft. The results of our analysis suggest that developers spend approximately 10-15 percent...

Using a Cognitive Psychology Perspective on Errors to Improve Requirements Quality: An Empirical Investigation

Vaibhav Anu, Gursimran Walia, Wenhua Hu, Jeffrey C. Carver, more

2016 IEEE 27th International Symposium on Software Reliability Engineering (ISSRE) > 65 - 76

2016 IEEE 27th International Symposium on Software Reliability Engineering (ISSRE)

Software inspections are an effective method for early detection of faults present in software development artifacts (e.g., requirements and design documents). However, many faults are left undetected due to the lack of focus on the underlying sources of faults (i.e., what caused the injection of the fault?). To address this problem, research work done by Psychologists on analyzing the failures of...

Error Abstraction Accuracy and Fixation during Error-Based Requirements Inspections

Vaibhav Anu, Gursimran Walia, Wenhua Hu, Jeffrey C. Carver, more

2016 IEEE International Symposium on Software Reliability Engineering Workshops (ISSREW) > 45 - 46

2016 IEEE International Symposium on Software Reliability Engineering Workshops (ISSREW)

Software inspections are widely used as a requirements verification technique. Our research uses the tried-and-tested perspective of cognitive failures (i.e., human errors) to improve the effectiveness of fault detection during requirements inspections. We have previously shown that inspection effectiveness can be significantly improved by augmenting the current fault-based inspection technique with...
