With the aim of identifying good structures and examples for papers in the software engineering field, we conducted a study of the type of papers accepted along four decades in the Research Track of the International Conference on Software Engineering (ICSE). We used for this purpose a categorization scheme for Software Engineering papers that was obtained by merging, extending and revising a few...
In industry, inspections, reviews, and refactoring are considered as necessary software engineering activities for enhancing quality of code. In academia, such activities are rarely taught and practiced at Undergraduate level due to various reasons like limited skill set, limited knowledge of the available tools, time constraints, project setting, project client availability, flexibility with Syllabus,...
The paper describes the quotations gathered during interviews and focus groups during a consulting engagement to help the client improve its requirements engineering (RE) process. The paper describes also a model of the software lifecycle derived from a Michael Jackson quotation, a model that explains about 95% of the quotations that we gathered. In particular, it explains why basic requirements determination...
In recent years agile software development methods have been used by software development teams. In this paper practical results of applying an agile software development methodology, extreme programming (XP), in the development of telecommunication software projects, are presented. Experience gained by applying XP rules are reported and each rule is scrutinized. Our conclusion is that XP could give...
This paper provides an overview of work being done in the EntryPoint project, which is examining the first course work in computing degrees. A key goal of this project is to move away from the traditional CS1/CS2 programming courses as the start of a computing degree. In addition, the project team is looking at how these ideas might be extended to BSSE degree programs. As such, this paper will discuss...
