What your Plug-in Test Suites Really Test: An Integration Perspective on Test Suite Understanding

Author's version of the work published in: Empirical Software Engineering, 18 (5), 2013; doi:10.1007/s10664-012-9235-7 Software architectures such as plug-in and service-oriented architectures enable developers to build extensible software products, whose functionality can be enriched by adding or configuring components. A well-known example of...

Declarative testing and depolyment of distributed systems

System administrators and developers who deploy distributed systems have to deal with a deployment process that is largely manual and hard to reproduce. This paper describes how networks of computer systems can be reproducibly and automatically deployed from declarative specifications. Reproducibility also ensures that users can easily...

Embedded System Construction: Evaluation of a Model-Driven and Component-Based Develpoment Approach

Preprint of paper published in: Models in Software Engineering, Lecture Notes in Computer Science 5421, 2009; doi:10.1007/978-3-642-01648-6_8 Model-driven development has become an important engineering paradigm. It is said to have many advantages over traditional approaches, such as reuse or quality improvement, also for embedded systems. Along...

Applying a Model-Based Approach for Embedded System Development

Model-based and component-oriented software development approaches are slowly superseding traditional ways of developing embedded systems. For investigating to which extent model-based development is feasible for embedded system development, we conducted a case study in which a small embedded system is developed using the MARMOT approach. In...
