Requirements are usually one of the main drivers for software architecture. Although current research acknowledges the opposite effects of design decisions on requirements engineering, it does not go beyond the general idea of their existence. The contribution of this paper lies in the explicit discussion of the effects of design decisions on requirements engineering. We define two types of design...
Economically sustainable software systems must be able to cost-effectively evolve in response to changes in their environment, their usage profile, and business demands. However, in many software development projects, sustainability is treated as an afterthought, as developers are driven by time-to-market pressure and are often not educated to apply sustainability-improving techniques. While software...
There is a problem with documentation and architectural design in agile projects. This is the result of interviews we have conducted with 37 software engineering experts from industry and academia. In our paper, we analyze the interview results and the origins of the revealed issues. We propose ways to integrate software design methodologies into agile development, and reputation mechanism to solve...
Integrating 3rd party components in software systems provides promising advantages but also risks due to disconnected evolution cycles. Deciding whether to migrate to a newer version of a 3rd party component integrated into selfimplemented code or to switch to a different one is challenging. Dedicated evolution support for 3rd party component scenarios is hence required. Existing approaches do not...
