Identifying the implied: Findings from three differentiated replications on the use of security requirements templates
(2017)
Identifying security requirements early on can lay the foundation for secure software development. Security requirements are often implied by existing functional requirements but are mostly left unspecified. The Security ...
COSMIC Base Functional Components in Functional Size Based Effort Estimation Models
(2016-11-09)
Software effort estimation models has been an area of considerable research for many years and it is still a challenge for software engineering. Although Functional Size Measurement (FSM) methods have become widely used, ...
An empirical evaluation of NASA-MDP data sets using a genetic defect-proneness prediction framework
(2016-11-09)
In software engineering, software quality is an important
