TLDR
The objective is to analyse the existing approaches to testing in software product lines, discussing the significant issues related to this area of knowledge and providing an up-to-date state of the art which can serve as a basis for innovative research activities.Abstract:
Software product lines constitute a new paradigm where industrial production techniques are adapted and applied to software development. Reuse and the maintenance of traceability between the different artefacts in the line are fundamental requirements in this paradigm, articulating the best practices for software development in an environment that is perfectly controlled by software engineering methods. This article presents a systematic review of the literature which deals with testing in software product lines. The objective is to analyse the existing approaches to testing in software product lines, discussing the significant issues related to this area of knowledge and providing an up-to-date state of the art which can serve as a basis for innovative research activities. The paper also analyses how SPL research can contribute and dynamise the research in softwareread more

Taming Dynamically Adaptive Systems using models and aspects
TL;DR: This paper presents how an AOM approach can be used to tame the combinatorial explosion of DAS modes by derive a wide range of modes by weaving aspects into an explicit model reflecting the runtime system.

On the Reliability of Mapping Studies in Software Engineering
Claes Wohlin,Per Runeson,Paulo Anselmo da Mota Silveira Neto,Emelie Engström,Ivan do Carmo Machado,Eduardo Santana de Almeida +5 more
TL;DR: A study of two systematic mapping studies is presented to evaluate the reliability of mapping studies and point out some challenges related to this type of study in software engineering.

Six years of systematic literature reviews in software engineering: An updated tertiary study
Fabio Q. B. da Silva,André L. Santos,Sergio Soares,A. César C. França,Cleviton V. F. Monteiro,Felipe Farias Maciel +5 more
TL;DR: The findings suggest that the software engineering research community is starting to adopt SLRs consistently as a research method, however, the majority of the SLRs did not evaluate the quality of primary studies and fail to provide guidelines for practitioners, thus decreasing their potential impact on software engineering practice.

Software Testing Research: Achievements, Challenges, Dreams
TL;DR: A consistent roadmap of the most relevant challenges to be addressed in software testing research is proposed, constituted by some important past achievements, while the destination consists of four identified goals to which research ultimately tends, but which remain as unreachable as dreams.
