Software integration testing has always been problematic, and current methods are becoming even less practical given today's networked software components. As the need for a more holistic approach grows, complexity theory presents opportunities for better understanding and testing of software.
Radically innovative information technology projects are considered one of the most challenging and difficult types of software projects to oversee and manage. The unique nature of such projects relegates them into a unique class of projects that we characterize as “Black Swans.” Highly innovative/radical IT projects reflect a “black swan” situation, where...
Multiple faults in a software many times prevent debuggers from efficiently localizing a fault. This is mainly due to not knowing the exact number of faults in a failing program as some of the faults get obfuscated. Many techniques have been proposed to isolate different faults in a program thereby creating separate sets of failing program statements. To evenly divide these statements amongst debuggers...
This paper provides a brief introduction to application driven software technology and its usage in the development of a new computer-based problem solving methodology. This new methodology is based on the principle of ldquotake the computer to the problemrdquo rather than ldquotaken the problem to the computerrdquo as done by current computer-based problem solving process. We illustrate our research...
The net generation of students have characteristics which make them well-suited for participating in open source projects including being comfortable with information technologies, using IT as a form of communication, desiring to work in groups, a desire to do social good, and being fascinated by new technologies. The nature of open source projects where communities of developers from around the world...
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...
