Analysis of Software Artifacts

Ontologies as Software Artifacts:

The World Wide Web Consortium (W3C), a main precursor in the use of ontology for the Semantic Web endorses the use of Ontologies for software development. the analyzed proposals based on taxonomy presented in the above section as a function of Ontologies as artifacts used:  at software development time (for the realization of the stated engineering processes or for other auxiliary processes) ...

Ranking Software Artifacts

Reengineering and integrated development platforms typically do not list search results in a particularly useful order. PageRank is the algorithm prominently used by the Google internet search engine to rank the relative importance of elements in a set of hyperlinked documents. To determine the relevance of objects, classes, attributes, and methods we propose to apply PageRank to software artif...

Tracing Software Requirements Artifacts

The support for traceability between requirement specifications has been recognised as an important task in the development life-cycle of software systems. In this paper we present an approach for automatic generation and maintenance of bi-directional traceability relations between commercial and functional requirements expressed in natural language, and requirement object models. The generatio...

Analysis of Software Design Artifacts for Socio-Technical Aspects

Software systems are not purely technical objects. They are designed, constructed and used by people. Therefore, software design process is not purely a technical task, but a socio-technical process embedded within organizational and social structures. These social structures influence and govern their work behavior and final work products such as program source code and documentation. This pap...
