A study of bugs found in the Ansible configuration management system

Research that focuses on examining software bugs is critical when developing tools for preventing and for fixing software issues. Previous work in this area has explored other types of systems, such as bugs of compilers and security issues stemming from open source systems hosted on public repositories. This paper explores the bugs within the...

Expanding Search-Based Software Modularization to Enterprise-Level Projects: A Case Study at Adyen

Code quality of software products often degrades while they grow. Counteracting the degradation of code quality or improving it requires immense effort. Tools that reduce this effort are a hot topic in software engineering research. Software Modularization in particular aims to aid in the process of improving the quality of code structure, by...

AuTA: Automatic teaching assistant

Due to the dramatic increase in enrollments in the TU Delft Bachelor of Computer<br/>Science, the workload for teaching assistants and instructors has skyrocketed. To<br/>reduce this workload, automated tools can be used to make the grading process easier. This paper describes the development of AuTA (Automatic Teaching Assistant), a tool that...

Improving Code Quality in Agile Software Development

Agile software development is a popular approach for developing software. Another important topic of research in software engineering is code quality. Unfortunately, a minimal amount of extensive research has been done on how these two influence each other. The goal of this study is therefore to explore the connection between these two using a...

On the Effect of Code Quality on Agile Effort Estimations: The Case of Shell

Agile software development has interested researchers for the last decade. Agile software development teams develop iteration sessions that often last weeks. During development, teams work on technical code and its content. Intuitively, more effort is required to implement new features in poorly constructed code with low quality. This study...
