Capturing security requirements for software systems

Security is often an afterthought during software development. Realizing security early, especially in the requirement phase, is important so that security problems can be tackled early enough before going further in the process and avoid rework. A more effective approach for security requirement engineering is needed to provide a more systematic way for eliciting adequate security requirements...

Comparative case studies of open source software peer review practices

Context: The power of open source software peer review lies in the involvement of virtual communities, especially users who typically do not have a formal role in the development process. As communities grow to a certain extent, how to organize and support the peer review process becomes increasingly challenging. A universal solution is likely to fail for communities with varying characteristic...

The number of resources the modern software developer must utilize to create applications is simply astounding. Process models, development methods, technologies, and development tools barely scratch the surface of the arsenal contained in the software designer’s toolbox. But the software engineering community has for the most part ignored the resulting knowledge and tool mastery burden, opting...
