ArchHypo: Managing Software Architecture Uncertainty Using Hypotheses Engineering

Kelson Silva;Jorge Melegati;Fabio Silveira;Xiaofeng Wang;Mauricio Ferreira;Eduardo Guerra

IEEE Transactions on Software Engineering
Year: 2025 | Volume: 51, Issue: 2 | Journal Article |
Uncertainty is present in software architecture decisions due to a lack of knowledge about the requirements and the solutions involved. However, this uncertainty is usually not made explicit, and decisions can be made based on unproven premises or false assumptions. This paper focuses on a technique called ArchHypo that uses hypotheses engineering to manage uncertainties related to software archit...Show More

Qualitative Surveys in Software Engineering Research: Definition, Critical Review, and Guidelines

Jorge Melegati;Kieran Conboy;Daniel Graziotin

IEEE Transactions on Software Engineering
Year: 2024 | Volume: 50, Issue: 12 | Journal Article |
Qualitative surveys are emerging as a popular research method in software engineering (SE), particularly as many aspects of the field are increasingly socio-technical and thus concerned with the subtle, social, and often ambiguous issues that are not amenable to a simple quantitative survey. While many argue that qualitative surveys play a vital role amongst the diverse range of methods employed i...Show More

2022 IEEE 46th Annual Computers, Software, and Applications Conference (COMPSAC)
Year: 2022 | Conference Paper |
The amount of data collected from software use facilitated systematic inquiries about users' expectations and reactions to software systems. The most well-known practice for continuous experimentation is A/B tests, in which two or more versions of a feature are compared based on users' metrics when exposed to these options. The literature shows that A/B tests are spread in the industry, but compan...Show More
