Analyzing the Evolution of WSDL Interfaces using Metrics

Recent studies have investigated the use of source code metrics to predict the change- and defect-proneness of source code. While the indicative power of these metrics was validated for several systems, it has not been tested on Service-Oriented Architectures (SOA). In particular, the SOA paradigm prescribes the development of systems through...

Field Of Threads: Master’s Thesis on a tool for clarifying thread behavior

Multithreaded programming is becoming increasingly important because of recent increase in the use of multiprocessor computing. Multithreaded or concurrent programming is inherently more complex than single threaded code, requiring the use of synchronization and causing possible problems like deadlock or dormancy. Dynamic analysis tools can aid...

Testing Advanced Web Interfaces: Tool-assisted user interface testing of AJAX-based Web applications

AJAX-based Web applications have gained massive popularity in the last few years, but tool-assisted testing of their user interfaces is an area lagging behind thus far. While these interfaces show similarities with other UI technologies, unique aspects of this architecture necessitate research into approaches suitable to create an automated...
