Bouwers, E. (author), Lilienthal, C. (author), Visser, J. (author), Van Deursen, A. (author)Evaluating the complexity of the architecture of a softwaresystem is a difficult task. Many aspects have to be considered to come to a balanced assessment. Several architecture evaluation methods have been proposed, but very few define a quality model to be used during the evaluation process. In addition, those methods that do introduce a...report 2010

Greiler, M. (author), Gross, H.G. (author), Van Deursen, A. (author)Plug-in architectures enable developers to build extensible software products. Such products are assembled from plug-ins, and their functionality can be enriched by adding or configuring plug-ins. The plug-ins themselves consist also of multiple plug-ins, and offer dedicated points through which their functionality can be influenced. A well...report 2010

Hermans, F. (author), Pinzger, M. (author), Van Deursen, A. (author)Thanks to their flexibility and intuitive programming model, spreadsheets are widely used in industry, often for businesscritical applications. Similar to software developers, professional spreadsheet users demand support for maintaining and transferring their spreadsheets. In this paper, we first study the problems and information needs of...report 2010

Zaidman, A. (author), Van Rompaey, B. (author), Van Deursen, A. (author), Demeyer, S. (author)Many software production processes advocate rigorous development testing alongside functional code writing, which implies that both test code and production code should co-evolve. To gain insight in the nature of this co-evolution, this paper proposes three views (realized by a tool called TeMo) that combine information from a software project's...report 2010

Matthijssen, N. (author), Zaidman, A. (author), Storey, M. (author), Bull, I. (author), Van Deursen, A. (author)Ajax-enabled web applications are a new breed of highly interactive, highly dynamic web applications. Although Ajax allows developers to create rich web applications, Ajax applications can be difficult to comprehend and thus to maintain. For this reason, we have created FireDetective, a tool that uses dynamic analysis at both the client (browser...report 2010

Groeneveld, F. (author), Mesbah, A. (author), Van Deursen, A. (author)The complexity of modern web applications increases as client-side JavaScript and dynamic DOM programming are used to offer a more interactive web experience. In this paper, we focus on improving the dependability of such applications by automatically inferring invariants from the client-side and using those invariants for testing. By combining...report 2010

Hermans, F. (author), Pinzger, M. (author), Van Deursen, A. (author)The use of spreadsheets to capture information is widespread in industry. Spreadsheets can thus be a wealthy source of domain information. We propose to automatically extract this information and transform it into class diagrams. The resulting class diagram can be used by software engineers to understand, refine, or re-implement the spreadsheet...lecture notes 2010

Guzzi, A. (author), Pinzger, M. (author), Van Deursen, A. (author)Software engineers spend a considerable amount of time on program comprehension. Although vendors of Integrated Development Environments (IDEs) and analysis tools address this challenge, current support for storing and sharing program comprehension knowledge is limited. As a consequence, developers have to go through the time-consuming...report 2010

Bouwers, E. (author), Visser, J. (author), Van Deursen, A. (author)Accepted for publication in the Proceedings of the International Conference on Software Maintenance (ICSM), 2009, IEEE Computer Society. Software architecture evaluation methods aim at identifying potential maintainability problems for a given architecture. Several of these methods exist, which typically prescribe the structure of the evaluation...report 2009

De Wit, M. (author), Zaidman, A. (author), Van Deursen, A. (author)Paper accepted for publication in the proceedings of the 25th International Conference on Software Maintenance (ICSM 2009). Code cloning is widely recognized as a threat to the maintainability of source code. As such, many clone detection and removal strategies have been proposed. However, some clones can often not be removed easily so other...report 2009
