Journal ArticleDOI
Reformulating software engineering as a search problem
Joseph Andrew Clarke,José Javier Dolado,Mark Harman,Robert M. Hierons,Bryan F. Jones,M. Lumkin,Brian S. Mitchell,Spiros Mancoridis,K. Rees,Marc Roper,Martin Shepperd +10 more
TL;DR: Metaheuristic techniques such as genetic algorithms, simulated annealing and tabu search have found wide application in most areas of engineering as discussed by the authors, however, they have not been more widely applied to software engineering.
Journal ArticleDOI
Testability transformation
Mark Harman,Lin Hu,Robert M. Hierons,Joachim Wegener,Harmen Sthamer,André Baresel,Marc Roper +6 more
TL;DR: An algorithm for flag removal is defined and results are presented from an empirical study which show how the algorithm improves both the performance of evolutionary test data generation and the adequacy level of the test data so-generated.
Journal ArticleDOI
Machine learning for estimation of building energy consumption and performance: a review
TL;DR: A substantial review on the four main ML approaches including artificial neural network, support vector machine, Gaussian-based regressions and clustering, which have commonly been applied in forecasting and improving building energy performance are provided.
Journal ArticleDOI
Evaluating inheritance depth on the maintainability of object-oriented software
TL;DR: Findings are not at all obvious that object-oriented software is going to be more maintainable in the long run, but they are sufficiently important that attempts to verify the results should be made by independent researchers.
Journal ArticleDOI
Further Experiences with Scenarios and Checklists
TL;DR: This replication is broadly supportive of the results from the original experiment, namely, that the Scenario approach is superior to the Checklist approach; and that the meeting component of a software inspection is not an effective defect detection mechanism.
