The ABC of Software Engineering Research

ACM Transactions on Software Engineering and Methodology, 2018
A variety of research methods and techniques are available to SE researchers, and while several overviews exist, there is consistency neither in the research methods covered nor in the terminology used.

Human Factors in Software Reliability Engineering [PDF]

arXiv, 2015
In this paper, we present our vision of the integration of human factors engineering into the software development process. The aim of this approach is to improve the quality of software and to deal with human errors in a systematic way.

Execution replay and debugging

, 2000
As most parallel and distributed programs are internally non-deterministic -- consecutive runs with the same input might result in a different program flow -- vanilla cyclic debugging techniques as such are useless. In order to use cyclic debugging tools,

Seeking Enlightenment: Incorporating Evidence-Based Practice Techniques in a Research Software Engineering Team [PDF]

Evidence-based practice (EBP) in software engineering aims to improve decision-making in software development by complementing practitioners' professional judgment with high-quality evidence from research. We believe the use of EBP techniques may be helpful for research software engineers (RSEs) in their work to bring software engineering best ...

Idempotent I/O for safe time travel

, 2003
Debuggers for logic programming languages have traditionally had a capability most other debuggers did not: the ability to jump back to a previous state of the program, effectively travelling back in time in the history of the computation. This ``retry''

Test Oracle Automation in the era of LLMs

The effectiveness of a test suite in detecting faults highly depends on the correctness and completeness of its test oracles. Large Language Models (LLMs) have already demonstrated remarkable proficiency in tackling diverse software testing tasks, such ...
