The growing migration of business transactions toward the web made data privacy a critical issue to cope with. Many technologies have been proposed in order to preserve sensitive data from illegal disclosure, also known as privacy enhancing technology (PET). Unfortunately, under certain conditions, sensitive data could be obtained by leveraging different malicious mechanisms which exploit actions...
Among the different technological solutions realized in order to preserve data privacy, the front end trust filter could be effectively applied in environments characterized by high dynamism and untrustworthiness. Unfortunately, a preliminary assessment of this approach suggested a possible weakness: by using different user's profiles the privacy policy can be eluded and sensitive information could...
Test-driven software development tackles the problem of operationally defining the features to be implemented by means of test cases. This approach was recently ported to the early development phase, when requirements are gathered and clarified. Among the existing proposals, Fit (Framework for Integrated Testing) supports the precise specification of requirements by means of so called Fit tables,...
Preserving data privacy is posing new challenges to software engineering researchers. Current technologies can be too cumbersome, pervasive or costly to be successfully applied in dynamic and complex scenarios where data exchange occurs among a large number of applications. Anonymization techniques seem to be a promising candidate, even if preliminary investigations suggest that they could deteriorate...
Software measurement is essential for understanding, defining, managing and controlling the software development and maintenance processes and it is not possible to characterize the various aspects of development in a quantitative way without having a deep understanding of software development activities and their relationships The current competitive marketplace calls for the continuous improvement...
Evolving software design is a critical activity for many reasons: inadequate documentation, loss of strategic knowledge due to personnel's turnover, intrinsic complexity of software design. As a consequence, performances in the evolution tasks may deteriorate. Some experiments demonstrate that pair programming is able to reduce the time spent for accomplishing the tasks while increasing the overall...
Process modelling is a key activity of software process management and it is the starting point for enacting, evaluating and improving software processes. The current competitive marketplace calls for the continuous improvement of processes and therefore, it is fundamental to have software process models with a high maintainability. In this paper we introduce a set of metrics for software process...
