PSDVE

Project in Software Development, Validation and Evolution

Objectives

In this Curricular Unit the students should be able to use and apply the techniques and tools presented in the outher CUs of this specialization in the developent of a mudium size project in software engineering. After completing this CU the sudtens will be able to – To understand the different empirical strategies for evaluating software – To understand what and how to measure software – To understand the experiment process, from preparing to analyze its results – To understand how to scope an experiment – To understand the different steps of planning an experiment – To understand how to conduct an experiment – To understand how to analyze and report the results of an experiment – To understand how to report experiments’ results – To understand how to benchmark software – To understand how to mine software repositories and which tools to use – To undeerstand Green Software

Program

The topics covered by this UC are the following: – Empirical strategies – Surveys, case studies, experiments, quasi-experiments – Software measurement – Experiment process: prepare, conduct and analyze – Scoping experiments – Planning experiments – Operating experiments – Analysis and interpretation of results – Reporting experiments – Benchmarking – Validation Testing – Mining software repositories – Green Software
