An Open Source Simulation Model of Software Development and Testing (2009)
Shmuel Ur, Elad Yom-tov, Paul Wernick
Abstract. This paper describes a new discrete event simulation model built using a mathematical tool (Matlab) to investigate the simulation of the programming and the testing phases of a software...
Using Program Slicing to Identify Faults in Software: (2008)
Sue Black, Steve Counsell, Tracy Hall, Paul Wernick
Abstract. This study explores the relationship between program slices and faults. The aim is to investigate whether the characteristics of program slices can be used to identify faultprone software...
A Policy Investigation Model for Long-term Software Evolution Processes (2008)
The work presented here is intended to develop a simple calibratable simulation model of a long-term software evolution process. This base model will act as a test-bed for the examination of effects...
System Dynamics Models of Software Evolution Processes (2008)
Manny Lehman, Paul Wernick, England England
The work presented here forms part of a wide-ranging study of the role and impact of feedback in software evolution. The objectives of this investigation are as follows [8]: • provide objective...
Adding Learning to Software Process Models (2007)
This paper considers an issue raised by Lehman at ISPW 9, where he stated that the software process is a `learning' process. We examine the ramifications of that statement, and of the nature and...
British Telecom URI Security : Project Outline (2007)
This document describes in outline the environment and objectives of the research which forms Work Package 5 (Security) of the BT URI Management of Multiservice Networks project. The overall...
Evolution in software systems: foundations of the SPE classification scheme. (2006)
Lehman, Meir M., Wernick, Paul, Harrison, Rachel, Cook, Stephen
This paper re-examines the SPE taxonomy of evolving software systems, first proposed in 1980 (Lehman). It builds on the concept that software evolution is related to generic theories of evolution. A...
