User Review-Based Change File Localization for Mobile Applications
In the current mobile app development, novel and emerging DevOps practices
(e.g., Continuous Delivery, Integration, and user feedback analysis) and tools
are becoming more widespread. For instance, the integration of user feedback
(provided in the form of user reviews) in the software release cycle represents
a valuable asset for the maintenance and evolution of mobile apps. To fully
make use of these assets, it is highly desirable for developers to establish
semantic links between the user reviews and the software artefacts to be
changed (e.g., source code and documentation), and thus to localize the
potential files to change for addressing the user feedback. In this paper, we
propose RISING (Review Integration via claSsification, clusterIng, and
linkiNG), an automated approach to support the continuous integration of user
feedback via classification, clustering, and linking of user reviews. RISING
leverages domain-specific constraint information and semi-supervised learning
to group user reviews into multiple fine-grained clusters concerning similar
users' requests. Then, by combining the textual information from both commit
messages and source code, it automatically localizes potential change files to
accommodate the users' requests. Our empirical studies demonstrate that the
proposed approach outperforms the state-of-the-art baseline work in terms of
clustering and localization accuracy, and thus produces more reliable results.Comment: 15 pages, 3 figures, 8 table
Safety-Critical Systems and Agile Development: A Mapping Study
In the last decades, agile methods had a huge impact on how software is
developed. In many cases, this has led to significant benefits, such as quality
and speed of software deliveries to customers. However, safety-critical systems
have widely been dismissed from benefiting from agile methods. Products that
include safety critical aspects are therefore faced with a situation in which
the development of safety-critical parts can significantly limit the potential
speed-up through agile methods, for the full product, but also in the
non-safety critical parts. For such products, the ability to develop
safety-critical software in an agile way will generate a competitive advantage.
In order to enable future research in this important area, we present in this
paper a mapping of the current state of practice based on {a mixed method
approach}. Starting from a workshop with experts from six large Swedish product
development companies we develop a lens for our analysis. We then present a
systematic mapping study on safety-critical systems and agile development
through this lens in order to map potential benefits, challenges, and solution
candidates for guiding future research.Comment: Accepted at Euromicro Conf. on Software Engineering and Advanced
