Practical Course on Agile Software Development during the semester break

23.02.2023
During the semester break, our research group will offer a practical course on agile software development. In this course, students will learn about selected agile software development methods and practices and apply them in dedicated projects with the help of selected tools. The participants will be learning and applying their knowledge on three levels, including processes and practices, project-specific domain knowledge, implementation- and tool-specific aspects.Depending on the specific software projects, the students will get familiar with various state-of-the-art technologies and tools for software engineering and for the realisation of the specific project. The course will offer an insight into real-world software development, as well as other relevant aspects such as self learning, team work, and problem solving.

Article published at EMSE

16.01.2023
We are happy to announce that our article  "What really changes when developers intend to improve their source code: a commit-level study of static metric value and static analysis warning changes" is published online in the Journal of Empirical Software Engineering, with the print version expected to appear in March 2023. In the article, we leverage the intent of developers about what constitutes a quality improvement in their own code base and investigate the improvements impact on 14 static source code metrics. In this study, we used a data set of 125,482 commits which we generated from a deep learning model that was trained from a randomized sample of 2.533 commits from 54 Java open source for which we manually labeled the commit intent.

Paper accepted by SoSyM

11.07.2022
We are happy to announce that our paper "MoDMaCAO: A model-driven framework for the design, validation and configuration management of cloud applications based on OCCI" was recently accepted by the Software and Systems Modeling journal. The paper is a joint work of our group members Fabian Korte, Johannes Erbel, and Jens Grabowski with the researchers Philippe Merle, Stéphanie Challita, and Faiez Zalila from INRIA. In the paper, a model-driven framework is presented that extends the OCCI standard to support the management of platform elements on top of infrastructural resources using configuration management script. Hereby, we defined a framework to support the design, validation and management of cloud applications by utilizing the uniform interface and data model of OCCI.

Two PhD theses successfully defended
