Since software systems need to be continuously available under varying conditions, their
ability to evolve at runtime is increasingly seen as one key issue. Modern programming …

Software must evolve in order to adapt to new demands and scenarios. In the case of
packaged software that can be customized, this evolution implies the maintenance of both …

Software systems are seen more and more as evolutive systems. At the design phase,
software is constantly in adaptation by the building process itself, and at runtime, it can be …

Software product lines provide a systematic means of managing variability in a suite of
products. They have many benefits but there are three major barriers that can prevent them …

In the recent years, we have witnessed major advances in mobile computing. Modern
devices are equipped with a variety of sensors and network interfaces that make them quite …

In software testing, many times redundant test cases are used for a small piece of code.
Testing is a tedious task and it requires more effort and time. Mostly numbers of defects are …
