This extended abstract is based on our paper “Do You Remember This Source Code?”, published at the International Conference on Software Engineering 2018 [Kr18]. We summarize and discuss our results on programmers’ memory and forgetting. To this end, we focus on reverse engineering of software, which was the primary context ...

Der folgende Artikel wurde als Keynote zum 25-jährigen Geburtstag der Fachgruppe Vorgehensmodelle für die betriebliche Anwendungsentwicklung (WI-VM) der Gesellschaft für Informatik e.V. an der Tagung PVM2018 in Düsseldorf gehalten. Er beschäftigt sich mit dem Wandel von Vorgehensmodellen in Software-Projekten aufgrund ...

In this work, we report on our recent research results on “Badger: Complexity Analysis with Fuzzing and Symbolic Execution” which was published in the proceedings of the 27th ACM SIGSOFT International Symposium on Software Testing and Analysis [NKP18]. Badger employs a hybrid software analysis technique that combines ...

This summary refers to the paper Metrics for analyzing variability and its implementation in software product lines: A systematic literature review [EYS19]. The paper was online first in 2018 and was finally published 2019 in the Information and Software Technology (IST) journal. The use of metrics for assessing software ...

In Model-Driven Software Development, models are processed automatically to support the creation, build, and execution of systems. A large variety of dedicated model-transformation languages exists, promising to efficiently realize the automated processing of models. To investigate the actual benefit of using such ...

Meetings often dominate software projects. Despite frequent dissatisfaction within meetings, many software engineers are not aware of the crucial importance about their behavior. This can set the tone for the entire project and influence the success. In a study based on 32 student development teams with 155 participants, ...

A wide variety of use case templates supports different linking variants. The main purpose of all linking options is to highlight the interrelationships between a use case and its associated requirements. Regardless of the linking, a reader needs to consider all materials together in order to achieve a high understanding ...

The work underlying this presentation is titled “From Hazard Analysis to Hazard Mitigation Planning: The Automated Driving Case,” accepted as a peer-reviewed full technical paper at the “NASA Formal Methods Symposium (NFM 2017),” published in April 2017.
