In software quality management, the selection strategy for proper metrics varies depending
on the application scenarios and measurement objectives. MicroService Architecture (MSA) …

The field of self-adaptive software is becoming increasingly crucial because software has to
adapt its behavior at runtime to keep up with dynamic and constantly evolving environments …

Although architecture instability has been studied and measured using a variety of metrics, a
deeper analysis of which project parts are less stable and how such instability varies over …

The software industry is increasingly facing the need for continuous deployment of systems.
This leads to the adoption of continuous activities, including planning, integration, and …

Background. Software sustainability is defined in terms of multiple and interdependent
dimensions (economic, social, technical and environmental). Preliminary initiatives have …

Software architectures are affected by evolution cycles when requirements or the system
change. When architectural elements are modified other parts of the design can be impacted …

For highly reliable software systems, it is expensive, time consuming, or even infeasible to
perform reliability testing via a conventional software reliability demonstration testing (SRDT) …

With the increasing dependence on software systems, their longevity is becoming a pressing
need. Stability is envisioned as a primary property to achieve longevity. Stability has been …
