Abstract: Effective Qualitative Data Analysis (QDA) using software tools relies on the range of supported document types to work with. The Portable Document Format (PDF) standard is widely known and used because of its versatility. Therefore, the support of PDF documents in QDA software is essentia...

Abstract: Property-Based Testing enables the user to generate test cases automatically. The JUnit 5 based engine jqwik makes Property-Based Testing for the Java programming language easy. However, until now it is not possible to generate test cases for all data types built into the JDK.This paper w...

Abstract: In the age of cloud computing, it is critical for software to handle any functionality increase and run on different platforms. Microservices architecture is the trend right now since it allows the creation of expandable programs. Most of the cloud-based solutions are using this archit...

Abstract: The main reasons for software project failure are the lack of user involvement, incomplete requirements, unrealistic expectations, and poor quality of requirements specification. A requirements template is a blueprint for the syntactic structure of individual requirements. The applic...

Abstract: Inner source is the application of the open source paradigm within organizations. Inner source enables developers to contribute to software modules not only within their own organization, but also to those belonging to other organizations within the same company. This means from a develop...

Abstract: Microservice-based software architectures play an essential role in building sizeable scalable cloud systems. The main advantage of microservices compared to the traditional software monoliths is the independent development, deployment, and scaling of the individual microservices, which a...

Abstract: Software licenses play a critical role when developing applications containing open source dependencies. To avoid legal risks, a proper management of these dependencies is necessary and with an increasing number of third-party dependencies in commercial products, license compliance become...

Abstract: In today's software development, Free / Libre and Open Source Software (FLOSS) is becoming more and more common used. The management of complex dependencies between the open source components used is an essential part of this. Without such management, license compliance will be impossible...

Abstract: Governments have recognized that the publication of open data is of great economic and social value. Collecting and using this data is challenging because it is not always available in an easy to process format. Minimizing these challenges is the task of the JValue Open Data Service (ODS)...

Abstract: Code review is one of the most important quality assurances of today's software development in open source as well as in industrial context. A side effect of reviewing code is the possibility of sharing knowledge between developers. While this is a common finding in software engineering r...
