Software traceability is a crucial component of various exact software development process and it is needed for various component certification and approval process in security system. With the tremendous growth of system, traceability is considered as a recent research topic. The traceability is a software development process that is indefinable. Various manufacturers struggle in predicting the appropriate traceability degree for their needs and produce the appropriate set of traceability links. The effort, cost, and discipline have to be maintained with tracking links with the faster development of software systems that are extremely higher. Also, it produces various advantages in practical realization; as it can be either ad-hoc or not properly defined traceability process, produces poor training or lack of effectual tool support. Moreover, the traceability process has to be determined as it can diminish the development effort and to enhance the development process. Generally, traceability research is based on empirical investigations for exploring newer investigational queries or to compute newer tracing methods. Here, this work concentrates on traceability, functional requirements, link establishment. It shows a better trade-off among the prevailing approaches.

Researchers and practitioners alike agree that the waterfall approach to software development results in poor quality software systems. Unfortunately, the waterfall approach is inherently used in almost all of today’s development efforts resulting in system failures. The problem lies in the forward, linear development effort that produces inconsistent and incorrect specifications, designs, and code artifacts. It is proposed in this paper that a recursive software development process be used as a means of managing the complexity of today’s software systems. The recursive approach has the flexibility needed to perform development activities in any order to ensure that system requirements are met.

Developing high quality, reliable and on time software systems is challenging due to the increasing size and complexity of these systems. Traditional software development approaches are not suitable for dealing with such challenges, so several approaches have been introduced to increase the productivity and reusability during the software development process. Two of these approaches are Component-Based Software Engineering (CBSE) and Model-Driven Software Development (MDD) which focus on reusing pre-developed code and using models throughout the development process respectively. There are many research studies that show the benefits of using software components and model-driven approaches. However, in many cases the development process is either ad-hoc or not well-defined. This paper proposes a new software development process model that merges CBSE and MDD principles to facilitate software development. The model is successfully tested by applying it to the development of an e-learning system as an exemplar case study.

In this paper we present SyBeL (System Behaviour modelling Language), an XML based formalism for software system modelling. In particular, SyBeL focuses on the description of the system behaviour in order to capture its functional requirements and has been designed to fulfill some of the most trendy software engineering issues. The use of the underlying XML language makes the artifacts generated by SyBeL immediately available to further automatic manipulation (e. g., to automatically generate test cases) without the need of intermediate models, as usually done in semi-formal approaches. Moreover, we are experimenting SyBeL on a variety of practical case studies.

    Abstract— Since the idea of software reuse appeared in 1968, software reuse has become a software engineering discipline. Software reuse is one of the main techniques used to enhance the productivity of software development, which it helps reducing the time, effort, and cost of developing software systems, and enhances the quality of software products. However, software reuse requires understanding, modifying, adapting and testing processes in order to be performed correctly and efficiently. This study aims to analyze and discuss the process of software reuse, identify its elements, sources and usages. The alternatives of acquiring and using software assets either normal or reusable assets are discussed. As a result of this study, four main methods are proposed in order to use the concept of reuse in the software development process. These methods are proposed based on the source of software assets regardless the types of software assets and their usages.

AbstractPresent-day software applications are increasingly required to be “reuse-conscious” in terms of the operating platforms, topology, and evolutionary requirements. Traditionally, there has been much difficulty in communicating specialized knowledge like design intents, design recommendations, and design justifications in the discipline of software engineering. This paper presents a methodology based on the combination of design rationale and design patterns to design reusable software systems. Design rationale is the representation of the reasoning behind the design of an artifact. Design patterns are descriptions of communicating objects and classes that are customized to solve a general design problem in a particular context. The paper details the use of an explicit software development process to capture and disseminate the specialized knowledge (i.e., intents, recommendations, and justifications) that augments the description of the cases in a library (i.e., design patterns) during the development of software applications by heterogeneous groups. The importance of preserving and using this specialized knowledge has become apparent with the growing trend of combining the software development process with the product (i.e., software code). The importance of codifying corporate memory in this regard is also important considering the changing nature of the workplace, where more people are on contract. The information on how and why a software code was developed becomes essential for efficient and smooth continuity of the present software project as well as for reusing the code in future projects. It has become essential to capture the design rationale to develop and design software systems efficiently and reliably. The software prototype developed using the combined methodology will be used as a part of an integrated design environment for reusable software design. This environment supports collaborative development of software applications by a group of software specialists from a library of building block cases represented by design patterns.

This chapter introduces the open source software development process from a software quality perspective. It uses the attributes of software quality in a formal model and attempts to map them onto the principles of the open source process. Many stages of the open source process appear to have an ad-hoc approach. Although open source is not considered to be a formal methodology for software development, it has resulted in the development of very high quality software, both in the consumer and in the enterprise space. In this chapter, we hope to understand the open source process itself, and apply it to other methodologies in order to achieve better software quality. Additionally, this chapter will help in understanding the “Wild West” nature of open source and what it may hold for us in the future.

Currently, software is used in many areas of human activity. But the developers of software systems often have problems that leads to exceeding the time and budget of development, as well as reduces the quality and security of software. The paper proposes a methodology developed by the authors, which allows you to standardize the process of creating software. The proposed approach greatly facilitates the organization of the process of collective development and management of software development, improves the quality of the developed software, reduces the risks of the developer and the customer and also reduces the time spent on the creation of software and the cost of its development. The developed technique fully standardizes the software development process, from the moment of creation of specification and ending with the introduction and support of the software product.
