  1. The Effect of Noise on Sofware Engineers' Performance

    2018 · arXiv (Cornell University)

    Background: Noise, defined as an unwanted sound, is one of the commonest factors that could affect people's performance in their daily work activities. The software engineering research community has marginally investigated the effects of noise …

  2. Dead Code

    2018 · International Conference on Software Maintenance

    Dead code is a bad smell. It is conjectured to be harmful and it appears to be also a common phenomenon in software systems. Surprisingly, dead code has received little empirical attention from the software …

  3. Results from a Replicated Experiment on the Affective Reactions of Novice Developers When Applying Test-Driven Development

    2020 · Lecture notes in business information processing

    Test-Driven Development (TDD) is an incremental approach to software development. Despite it is claimed to improve both quality of software and developers’ productivity, the research on the claimed effects of TDD has so far shown …

  4. On the Effect of Noise on Software Engineers’ Performance: Results from Two Replicated Experiments

    2020

    Noise, defined as an unwanted sound, is one of the most common factors people have to deal with when performing their daily working tasks. Researchers have marginally investigated the effect of noise on software engineers' …

  5. GASSER: A Multi-Objective Evolutionary Approach for Test Suite Reduction

    2022 · International Journal of Software Engineering and Knowledge Engineering

    Regression testing is a practice that ensures a System Under Test (SUT) still works as expected after changes have been implemented. The simplest approach for regression testing is Retest-all, which consists of re-executing the entire …

  6. Test-Driven Development and Embedded Systems: An Exploratory Investigation

    2023

    We present the results of an exploratory investigation to obtain preliminary evidence on the use of Test-Driven Development (TDD), an incremental approach to software development where tests are written before production code, to develop Embedded …
