Code and design smells are recurring design problems in software systems that must be identified to avoid their possible negative consequences on development and maintenance. Conse...
Abstract. This paper introduces the ISpec approach to interface specification. ISpec supports the development of interface specifications at various levels of formality and detail ...
There has been substantial recent interest in captured design expertise expressed as design patterns. Prevalent descriptions of these design patterns suffer from two demerits. Firs...
This paper presents a testability improvement method for digital systems described in VHDL behavioral specification. The method is based on testability analysis at registertransfe...
