SWISS-PROT is a curated protein sequence database which strives to provide a high level of annotation (such as the description of the function of a protein, its domains structure,...
Estimating remaining defects or failures in software can help test managers make release decisions during testing. Several methods exist to estimate defect content, among them a v...
In recent years there has been a growing interest in empirically investigating object-oriented technology (OOT). Much of this empirical work has been experimental in nature. This ...

Software inspection is one of the key enablers for quality improvement and defect cost reduction. Although its benefits are shown in many studies, a major obstacle to implement an...
Problem frames are a relatively new approach to requirements engineering, promising benefits not only in elicitation but also in subsequent design, by allowing their users to selec...
Use cases have become an important tool in software engineering. There has been much focus on the diagram notation but relatively little on use-case descriptions. As part of a welc...
We present a case study that aims at quantitative assessment of the impact of requirements changes, and quantitative estimation of costs of the development activities that must be ...
