Ahlfeld, R.B.H. (author)Every spacecraft carries small rocket engines called thrusters for the purpose of orbit and position corrections in space. A precise operation of the thrusters saves fuel and a lower fuel consumption can extend the service life of the spacecraft. Precise thrust levels can be better obtained by pulsed firing than by continuous firing of the...master thesis 2014

Marsavina, C. (author)In this thesis we perform a study that, following a mixed methods approach, investigates fine-grained co-evolution patterns of production and test code. First, we mine fine-grained changes from the evolution of 5 open-source systems. Then, we use an association rule mining algorithm to generate the co-evolution patterns. Finally, we interpret...master thesis 2014
