Android application development has attracted the attention of many software developers as a mainstream software platform. Despite its interesting characteristics, there are a number of issues that result in developing ...

Web engineering methodologies generally assign a crucial role to design models. Therefore, providing a model reuse approach is very interesting since it reduces development costs and improves quality. Current works on model ...

Web engineering has emerged as a new software discipline to specifically address the challenges and complexities of developing high quality web applications. A main theme in different web engineering methodologies is to ...

Design patterns provide experience reusability and increase quality of object oriented designs. Knowing which design patterns are implemented in a software is important in comprehending, maintaining and refactoring its ...

Testing Web applications is still a challenging work which can greatly benefit from test automation techniques. In this paper, we focus on using ontologies as a means of test automation. Current works that use ontologies ...

Software testing, as a major verification and validation activity which revolves around quality tests, is a knowledge-intensive activity. Hence, it is reasonable to expect that it can be improved by effective application ...

Source code is probably the most important artifact produced during a software project. Using semantic web technologies like RDF and Ontologies it is possible to produce a semantic layer over source code, through which ...

Mutation testing is known as an effective method for evaluating test sets in terms of their error-revealing capability. When applying mutation testing, it is necessary to identify and filter out the equivalent mutants, ...

While mutation testing is considered to be an effective technique in software testing, there are some impediments to its widespread use in industrial projects. One of these challenges is the equivalent mutant problem, and ...
