In the software engineering literature, many works claim that the use of design patterns improves the comprehensibility of programs and, more generally, their maintainability. Yet...
Pair programmers need a "warmup phase" before the pair can work at full speed. The length of the learning interval varies, depending on how experienced the developers are...
We introduce a technique for debugging multi-threaded C programs and analyzing the impact of source code changes, and its implementation in the prototype tool Direct. Our approach ...

—Coupling in software applications is often used as an indicator of external quality attributes such as fault-proneness. In fact, the correlation of coupling metrics and faults i...
Many applications written in C allocate memory blocks for their major data structures from the heap space at runtime. The analysis of heap-oriented pointers in such programs is cr...
