This open access book presents the outcomes of the “Design for Future – Managed Software Evolution” priority program 1593, which was launched by the German Research Foundation (“Deutsche Forschungsgemeinschaft (DFG)”) to develop new approaches to software engineering with a specific focus on long-lived software systems. The different lifecycles of software and hardware platforms lead to interoperability problems in such systems. Instead of separating the development, adaptation and evolution of software and its platforms, as well as aspects like operation, monitoring and maintenance, they should all be integrated into one overarching process. Accordingly, the book is split into three major parts, the first of which includes an introduction to the nature of software evolution, followed by an overview of the specific challenges and a general introduction to the case studies used in the project. The second part of the book consists of the main chapters on knowledge carrying software, and cover tacit knowledge in software evolution, continuous design decision support, model-based round-trip engineering for software product lines, performance analysis strategies, maintaining security in software evolution, learning from evolution for evolution, and formal verification of evolutionary changes. In turn, the last part of the book presents key findings and spin-offs. The individual chapters there describe various case studies, along with their benefits, deliverables and the respective lessons learned. An overview of future research topics rounds out the coverage. The book was mainly written for scientific researchers and advanced professionals with an academic background. They will benefit from its comprehensive treatment of various topics related to problems that are now gaining in importance, given the higher costs for maintenance and evolution in comparison to the initial development, and the fact that today, most software is not developed from scratch, but as part of a continuum of former and future releases.

According to the laws of software evolution, software structure tends to degrade over time and cause future evolution to be even more difficult. Managing software evolution right from initial design through its evolution stages is important to ensure the final software product maintains its architectural integrity. Placing precise and timely software evolution information in the hands of the domain experts will allow accurate project and risk management while at the same time establishing clear accountabilities and guidelines. Current Software Evolution Management (SEM) infrastructures based on Software Configuration Management (SCM) lack product knowledge and deeper semantic understanding thus making it harder to effectively apply software metrics and feedback control systems that truly reflect the product and process needs. The disconnection of product knowledge in SCM prevents software practitioners from continually working with the logical design models through the implementation phases thus leads to widening software design and implementation gaps. Software process and product views should be closely linked in order to better manage and improve software quality. A SEM infrastructure is proposed that leverages the current state of SCM, incorporating application domain knowledge, a rich data model and a coherent process model that can be used to preserve the architectural integrity of the evolving software. My solution is Object-oriented Software Semantic Evolution Management (OSSEM), a SEM model and infrastructure with integral support for continuous modelling, applying software measurements and customisable feedback control systems to facilitate early detection of software design erosion. The infrastructure promotes extensibility by supporting custom metadata to define additional semantic artefacts, metrics policies to inject custom measurements and change policies to monitor quality attributes. I believe OSSEM unifies the software process and product perspectives; allows for more tacit knowledge to be made explicit and managed; empowers teams to be more context-aware during software maintenance or evolution activities; and overall provides guidance and governance to minimise software erosion in evolving systems.

This book focuses on the design, development, management, governance and application of evolving software processes that are aligned with changing business objectives, such as expansion to new domains or shifting to global production. In the context of an evolving business world, it examines the complete software process lifecycle, from the initial definition of a product to its systematic improvement. In doing so, it addresses difficult problems, such as how to implement processes in highly regulated domains or where to find a suitable notation system for documenting processes, and provides essential insights and tips to help readers manage process evolutions. And last but not least, it provides a wealth of examples and cases on how to deal with software evolution in practice. Reflecting these topics, the book is divided into three parts. Part 1 focuses on software business transformation and addresses the questions of which process(es) to use and adapt, and how to organize process improvement programs. Subsequently, Part 2 mainly addresses process modeling. Lastly, Part 3 collects concrete approaches, experiences, and recommendations that can help to improve software processes, with a particular focus on specific lifecycle phases. This book is aimed at anyone interested in understanding and optimizing software development tasks at their organization. While the experiences and ideas presented will be useful for both those readers who are unfamiliar with software process improvement and want to get an overview of the different aspects of the topic, and for those who are experts with many years of experience, it particularly targets the needs of researchers and Ph.D. students in the area of software and systems engineering or information systems who study advanced topics concerning the organization and management of (software development) projects and process improvements projects.

Evolution of software has long been recognized as one of the most problematic and challenging areas in the field of software engineering, as evidenced by the high, often up to 60-80%, life-cycle costs attributed to this activity over the life of a software system. Studies of software evolution are central to the understanding and practice of software development. Yet it has received relatively little attention in the field of software engineering. This book focuses on topics aimed at giving a scientific insight into the aspect of software evolution and feedback. In summary, the book covers conceptual, phenomenological, empirical, technological and theoretical aspects of the field of software evolution - with contributions from the leading experts. This book delivers an up-to-date scientific understanding of what software evolution is, to show why it is inevitable for real world applications, and it demonstrates the role of feedback in software development and maintenance. The book also addresses some of the phenomenological and technological underpinnings and includes rules and guidelines for increased software evolvability and, in general, sustainability of the evolution process. Software Evolution and Feedback provides a long overdue, scientific focus on software evolution and the role of feedback in the software process, making this the indispensable guide for all software practitioners, researchers and managers in the software industry.
Managing Software Evolution Through Semantic History Slicing

Managing Software Evolution Through Semantic History Slicing written by Yi Li and has been published by this book supported file pdf, txt, epub, kindle and other format this book has been release on 2018 with categories.
Software change histories are results of incremental updates made by developers. As a byproduct of the software development process, change history is surprisingly useful for understanding, maintaining and reusing software. However, traditional commit-based sequential organization of version histories lacks semantic structure and thus is insufficient for many development tasks that require high-level, semantic understanding of program functionality. In this dissertation, we propose a new semantics-based view of software version histories, where a set of related changes satisfying a common high level property (also known as slicing criteria) is recognized as a semantic history slice. As one concrete instantiation, test cases exercising a software functionality can be used as slicing criteria to identify changes implementing the particular functionality. Specifically, we present a family of automated techniques which analyze the semantics of historical changes and assist developers in many practical software evolution tasks. First, we introduce CSlicer, an efficient static history slicing algorithm which requires only a one-time effort for compilation and test execution. It mostly relies on static analysis of dependencies between change sets and is therefore inexpensive in terms of running time but can be imprecise. Second, we present Definer, a dynamic history slicing algorithm based on delta refinement. It executes tests multiple times and observes the test results while attempting to shorten the history slices iteratively. The semantic slices found by the dynamic approach are guaranteed to be minimal, but the running time can be much longer. Finally, we describe the design and implementation of a Web-based semantic slicing framework CSlicerCloud which aims to find balance between performance and precision, unifies different history slicing algorithms and provides software developers a flexible and ready-to-use environment for various evolution management tasks. We have successfully applied the history slicing techniques in many development tasks including creating focused pull requests, back-porting bug fixes, locating feature implementations and building feature models to assist evolution understanding. For validation, we evaluate our approaches on a benchmark of developer-annotated version history instances obtained from real-world open-source software projects from GitHub.
