By Fabio Palomba Test cases form the first line of defense against the introduction of faults. But also, the entire team rely on regression tests to merge pull requests, or even to deploy a version. But test code can have

By Alexander Serebrenik Developers are people (citation needed) is how Robert Jongeling started his report. In a way, this is a pity: we always talk about the product, rather than about who create software. Based on some heuristics, they developed

By Joost Visser Writing code is easy, maintaining is not. And, what if we could make it easy to write maintaible code? “Current development speed is a function of past development quality” (@brianm). In a way: the quality of what

By Bram Cappers Many computer viruses try to infiltrate, then expand and lastly sabotage the attacked system, e.g. by spying or disrupting the attacked system. Can we find such viruses by looking into the packets sent over the network? the

By Frank Takes. At the IPA-days. Frank works on the topic of pattern matching in graph theory. In the hype of data science: gaining insight from very large data sets from a network perspective: Network science. If you want to

Presented by Andrew Leigh The authors are interested in using desing containers to isolate implementation error-proneness. Decisions are very influencial in architecture, but there is always risk attached to it, and there might be some residual risk, which might be

presented by Eoin Woods The paper is triggered by a very interesting question: “How do software architects prioritise their time and attention?”. So, what does an architect work on? In literature gives little answer. Philippe Kruchten (2008) gave an estimate:

presented by Chen Yang It is very simple to make assumptions in our daily life. We often do it unintendedly. But what is an assumption actually? Some state it to be an implicit design decision and its reasons. Others call

Presented by Peter Eeles of IBM UK. The idea of the talk came from the book “How to measure anything”. The short version of the talk is that successful architects share common personal traits; successful architects have repeatable practices; these

Presented by Manoj Bhat The idea of the paper is to use machine learning, especially classification, from issue management systems. Why are we looking at architecture design decisions (ADDs)? We all know the advantages, but it is not yet well
