Using LLMs to Evaluate Architecture Documents: Results from a Digital Marketplace Environment
Frank Elberzhager, Matthias Gerbershagen, Joshua Ginkel
Generative AI plays an increasing role during software engineering activities to make them, e.g., more efficient or provide better quality. However, it is often unclear how much be…
Toward architecting self-coding information systems
Rodrigo Falcão, Frank Elberzhager, Karthik Vaidhyanathan
In this extended abstract, we propose a novel research topic in the field of agentic AI, which we refer to as self-coding information systems. These systems will be able to dynamic…
Evaluating the effectiveness of LLM-based interoperability
Rodrigo Falcão, Stefan Schweitzer, Julien Siebert +2
Background: Systems of systems are becoming increasingly dynamic and heterogeneous, and this adds pressure on the long-standing challenge of interoperability. Besides its technical…
Experiences in Using the V-Model as a Framework for Applied Doctoral Research
Rodrigo Falcão, Andreas Jedlitschka, Frank Elberzhager +1
The pervasive role played by software in virtually all industries has fostered ever-increasing development of applied research in software engineering. In this chapter, we contribu…
Engineering a sustainable world by enhancing the scope of systems of systems engineering and mastering dynamics
Rasmus Adler, Frank Elberzhager, Florian Balduf
Engineering a sustainable world requires to consider various systems that interact with each other. These systems include ecological systems, economical systems, social systems and…
Towards a Roadmap for Trustworthy Dynamic Systems-of-Systems
Rasmus Adler, Frank Elberzhager, Julien Siebert
This paper gives insights into the DynaSoS project, which aims to propose a cross-domain roadmap for systems engineering research into trustworthy dynamic systems-of-systems with a…
Tackling Consistency-related Design Challenges of Distributed Data-Intensive Systems - An Action Research Study
Susanne Braun, Stefan Deßloch, Eberhard Wolff +2
Background: Distributed data-intensive systems are increasingly designed to be only eventually consistent. Persistent data is no longer processed with serialized and transactional…
Focusing Testing by Using Inspection and Product Metrics
Frank Elberzhager, Stephan Kremer, Jürgen Münch +1
A well-known approach for identifying defect-prone parts of software in order to focus testing is to use different kinds of product metrics such as size or complexity. Although thi…
Predicting Defect Content and Quality Assurance Effectiveness by Combining Expert Judgment and Defect Data - A Case Study
Michael Kläs, Haruka Nakao, Frank Elberzhager +1
Planning quality assurance (QA) activities in a systematic way and controlling their execution are challenging tasks for companies that develop software or software-intensive syste…
Transparent Combination of Expert and Measurement Data for Defect Prediction: An Industrial Case Study
Michael Kläs, Frank Elberzhager, Jürgen Münch +2
Defining strategies on how to perform quality assurance (QA) and how to control such activities is a challenging task for organizations developing or maintaining software and softw…
Using Early Quality Assurance Metrics to Focus Testing Activities
Frank Elberzhager, Jürgen Münch
Testing of software or software-based systems and services is considered as one of the most effort-consuming activities in the lifecycle. This applies especially to those domains w…
The Relevance of Assumptions and Context Factors for the Integration of Inspections and Testing
Frank Elberzhager, Robert Eschbach, Jürgen Münch
Integrating inspection processes with testing processes promises to deliver several benefits, including reduced effort for quality assurance or higher defect detection rates. Syste…
Guiding Testing Activities by Predicting Defect-prone Parts Using Product and Inspection Metrics
Frank Elberzhager, Stephan Kremer, Jürgen Münch +1
Product metrics, such as size or complexity, are often used to identify defect-prone parts or to focus quality assurance activities. In contrast, quality information that is availa…
Inspection and Test Process Integration Based on Explicit Test Prioritization Strategies
Frank Elberzhager, Alla Rosbach, Jürgen Münch +1
Today's software quality assurance techniques are often applied in isolation. Consequently, synergies resulting from systematically integrating different quality assurance activiti…
Integrating Inspection and Test Processes Based on Context-Specific Assumptions
Frank Elberzhager, Jürgen Münch, Dieter Rombach +1
Inspections and testing are two of the most commonly performed software quality assurance processes today. Typically, these processes are applied in isolation, which, however, fail…
