Bad requirements quality can cause expensive consequences during the software
development lifecycle, especially if iterations are long and feedback comes late. We aim at a …

This book has been a much longer process than I would have ever anticipated. The original
idea was to integrate and combine the research on software product quality control with my …

Duplicated code or code clones are a kind of code smell that have both positive and
negative impacts on the development and maintenance of software systems. Software clone …

Knowing code clones (similar code fragments) is helpful in software maintenance and re-
engineering. As clone detectors return huge numbers of clones, visualization techniques …

Although numerous different clone detection approaches have been proposed to date, not a
single one is both incremental and scalable to very large code bases. They thus cannot …

Abstract Model-based development becomes more and more popular in the development of
embedded software systems in the car industry. On the websites of tool vendors many …

Motivation Scientists increasingly rely on intelligent information systems to help them in their
daily tasks, in particular for managing research objects, like publications or datasets. The …

The Art and Science of Analyzing Software Data provides valuable information on analysis
techniques often used to derive insight from software data. This book shares best practices …

Bad requirements quality can have expensive consequences during the software
development lifecycle. Especially, if iterations are long and feedback comes late-the faster a …

Cloned code is considered harmful for two reasons:(1) multiple, possibly unnecessary,
duplicates of code increase maintenance costs and,(2) inconsistent changes to cloned code …
