As a practice, software design seeks to contribute to developing quality software. For graduating students, the design is difficult to understand, and building a good design seems to require a certain level of cognitive development. In this study, we report an experiment to know how students habitually represent detailed design (what artifacts and ways of design representation they use) and if there is an effect on software quality when they deliver the design representation. We found that students design on a basic level, they do not achieve complete designs that combine several artifacts to model dynamic and static aspects. Also, the delivery of design representation did not improve software quality.

Choosing the right agile practices to be adopted in a software development process is complex, especially for organizations with little experience and a high turnover of human resources. To select the best practices, it is necessary to consider the characteristics that describe the team, the project, and the context in which they will be applied. In this paper, we propose an ontology-based agile practices recommender. The ontology was built and populated with knowledge obtained from software projects of Argentine organizations. The recommender applies the FP-Growth algorithm to find the most suitable practices for the target profile. In addition, it discovers potential conflicts between the profile and the recommended practices.

Outsourcing projects continue to grow through a more distributed and connected environment among teams from all over the globe. Due to it, many customer-vendor relationships are being formed in multi-site settings around a large-scale agile project. Companies are constantly looking for suppliers to assist and develop their complex products, although large-scale agile projects with many teams require some attention to the outsourcing project. Based on it, this study aims to conduct a systematic literature review regarding how outsourced distributed teams from large-scale agile projects are handling their operation. From 23 studies, it was possible to synthesize six distinct themes and 15 patterns of outsourcing distributed teams working in large-scale contexts.

The software industry still struggles with adverse effects of a weak alignment between requirements and testing. The Software Pattern Metamodel (SoPaMM) aligns requirements and test patterns under the influence of agile practices. However, these patterns will be more beneficial for professionals if development activities are supported by a software tool. This paper presents the behaviour-DRivEn Application Model generator (DREAM) tool, automatically generating requirements and test specifications from SoPaMM-based patterns. We show how DREAM supports requirements elicitation and specification, test case elaboration, and software documentation using a patterns catalogue for electronic health record systems.

Facilitar experiencias de Diseño Participativo para crear software para adultos neurodiversos conlleva muchos desafíos; ya que las preferencias de las personas que participan se deben considerar a la hora de plantear cada actividad. En este trabajo se propone un framework conceptual para guiar a los facilitadores en el diseño y conducción de experiencias de Diseño Participativo centrándose en las personas neurodiversas que participan. Este framework se basa en Design Thinking para innovar en la creación de software. Se presenta un resumen del estado actual de la temática y se plantea un espacio de discusión para invitar a los diseñadores a reflexionar.

Several automated techniques for assisting engineers in creating mappings between source code (e.g., classes) and architecture elements (e.g., modules) have been proposed. They are generally assessed via precision and recall metrics. However, these metrics can only be evaluated post-mortem, i.e., once an expert created and validated all the mappings. In practice, given a set of mappings, engineers would like to assess their quality without (effortfully) validating the whole set. In this context, we explore a suite of quality metrics as an architectural fitness function for a ranking of mappings, which helps engineers select a useful list of those mappings. We empirically analyzed the evolution of our metrics in two projects using different mapping techniques.

For software testing, this work performs a comparison and analysis of syntactic and semantic similarities and discrepancies between 3 glossaries. To conduct the study, 8 terminological categories were conceived, which were used to categorize each glossary term, considering the intended semantics. Also, to count the occurrence frequency of a term in the glossaries, a tool was built that also takes into account the matching of synonyms. Then, the analysis of similarities and discrepancies, as well as absent terms for a subset of them, is performed using metrics and expert interpretations. This study identifies several disagreements in standard terminologies that should merit further attention and efforts to promote harmonization amongst the authors/ publishers of these glossaries with the overarching end goal of assisting their readers in learning and understanding the domain of software testing.

Software architecture comprises the most relevant structure of a software system and is a factor to enable systems to achieve qualities that are crucial to the system's goals. In this sense, teaching software architecture to students and professionals remains a very important task. However, it is still a challenging matter for teachers and learners on different levels and contexts. We also lack an updated overview on how such a challenge has been addressed. This paper presents an overview of software architecture education experiences and initiatives. For this, we systematically examined the most relevant studies addressing software architecture education. After analyzing a total of 50 studies, we discuss how software architecture has been taught, the topic mostly taught, the learning objectives, and the learning methods. Based on our findings, we also present open issues that still remain to be further investigated, aiming to mature software architecture education.

Integration processes involve Business Constraints and Service Level Agreements that, with current technology, are not monitored or enforced automatically at run-time. This approach leaves the participants with no means of supervising the development of their interactions or of collecting indisputable evidence to ease the resolution of disputes that can potentially emerge. In this paper, to address the issue, we suggest the inclusion of smart contracts in integration processes to supervise and mediate, at run-time, the agreements to which the participants commit. We discuss the requirements that smart contracts for integration processes need to meet and the challenges involved in writing, executing, deploying, and verifying them.

Los patrones son reconocidos como modelos exitosos que favorecen la reusabilidad, y es una de sus características, facilitar la comprensión de un modelo. Este artículo describe un experimento cuyo objetivo es corroborar si el uso de patrones de negocio mejora la comprensión del modelo conceptual de un sistema de gobierno electrónico. El experimento se realizó en el año 2021 con 33 estudiantes del tercer curso de la carrera de Ingeniería en Sistemas de Información. Los resultados obtenidos evidencian que existen diferencias significativas en favor a la efectividad de la comprensión del modelo conceptual al utilizar patrones de negocio. En cambio, no hay diferencias relevantes en la eficiencia al utilizar, o no, patrones.
