TLDR
A number of DSLs spanning various phases of software development life cycle in terms of features that elucidates their advantages over general purpose languages and perform in depth study by practically applying a few open source DSLs: ‘Cascading’, Naked Objects Framework and RSpec.Abstract:
To match the needs of the fast paced generation, the speed of computing has also increased enormously. But, there is a limit to which the processor speed can be amplified. Hence in order to increase productivity, there is a need to change focus from processing time to programming time. Reduction in programming time can be achieved by identifying the domain to which the task belongs and using an appropriate Domain Specific Language (DSL). DSLs are constrained to use terms and concepts pertaining to an explicit domain making it much easier for the programmers to understand and learn, and cuts down the development time drastically. In this paper, we will understand what a DSL is; explore a number of DSLs spanning various phases of software development life cycle in terms of features that elucidates their advantages over general purpose languages and perform in depth study by practically applying a few open source DSLs: ‘Cascading’, Naked Objects Framework and RSpec.read more

Trace Diagnostics for Signal-Based Temporal Properties
TL;DR: TD-SB-TemPsy is proposed, a trace-diagnostic approach for properties expressed using SB-Tem Psy-DSL that relies on the concepts of violation cause, which characterizes one of the behaviors of the system that may lead to a property violation, and diagnoses, which are associated with violation causes and provide additional information to help engineers understand the violation cause.
Heterogeneous and Distributed Services: Domain-Specific Language testing
TL;DR: This Master Thesis describes the approach to validate both the behaviour and the efficiency of programs generated from an abstract description, and how user-defined tests allow checking of consistency and correctness on the different targets of the behaviour of the abstract concepts.
