Nowadays the software ecosystem health has received increasing attention as an important field for managing software ecosystems. Researchers have intensified studies in this area with the goal of assessing ecosystem health and possible causes for the success achieved. However, none of them have considered directly the effects of the software architecture on the ecosystem health. There are some architectural...
This issue's column reports on papers from the 19th International Conference on Software Product Lines, the 10th Joint Meeting of the European Software Engineering Conference and the ACM SIGSOFT Symposium on the Foundations of Software Engineering, the 23rd IEEE International Requirements Engineering Conference, and the 9th European Conference on Software Architecture. Topics include software product...
Context: Over the years, the interest on software architecture recovery has increased. Due to software product line inherent complexity, the recovery of product line architecture is crucial to alleviate difficulties and enable benefits during the SPL development. Objective: In order to gather data and evidence about the relationship between product line architecture and software architecture recovery,...
The goal of this research is to understand the various dimensions along which the architectures in an ecosystem should scale to support successful software-intensive products. We used a case study approach in which we first identified characteristics of scalability from the research literature and then examined ecosystems to determine the extent to which their primary architectures possessed these...
Architecture processes emerged to aid the architects in the construction of software architecture descriptions. Service-Oriented Architecture (SOA) emerged as a type of software architecture to build systems through the composition of services. On the one hand, the traditional architecture processes do not comprise some SOA features. On the other hand, the available SOA approaches do not fulfill all...
In the Software Product Lines (SPL) context, where products are derived from a common platform, the reference architecture can be considered the main asset. In order to maintain its correctness and reliability after modifications, a regression testing approach based on architecture specification and code was developed. It aims to reduce the testing effort, by reusing test cases, execution results,...
Software reuse is crucial for organizations interested in productivity gains and software quality. In this context, Software Product Line (SPL) and Service-Oriented Architecture (SOA) are two reuse strategies that share common goals and can be used together with the purpose of increasing reuse and producing service-oriented systems, customizable to specific customers, faster and cheaper than creating...
