Although Web services are becoming business-critical components, they are often deployed
with critical software bugs that can be maliciously explored. Web vulnerability scanners …

Aspect-oriented programming (AOP) provides mechanisms for the separation of crosscutting
concerns-functionalities scattered through the system and tangled with the base code …

Since its inception in 1996, aspect-oriented programming (AOP) has been believed to
reduce the effort required to maintain software systems by replacing cross-cutting code with …

Background: Programming language design is not usually informed by empirical studies. In
other fields similar problems have inspired an evidence-based paradigm of practice. Such a …

The primary claimed benefits of aspect-oriented programming (AOP) are that it improves the
understandability and maintainability of software applications by modularizing crosscutting …

This paper briefly reviews the theory of Testability Transformation and outlines its
implications for and relationship to refactoring for testing. The paper introduces testability …

The aspect-oriented programming (AOP) approach is supposed to enhance a system's
features such as modularity, readability and simplicity. Owing to a better modularisation of …

The potential of aspect-oriented programming to represent cross-cutting concerns as
reusable components has yet to be fully realized. Indeed, authors have detailed significant …

Through AspectJ, aspect-oriented programming (AOP) is becoming of increasing interest
and availability to Java programmers as it matures as a methodology for improved software …

Inspired by our past manual aspect mining experiences, this paper describes a random walk
