As Web applications become more and more complex, the development costs are
increasing as well. A Model Driven Architecture (MDA) approach is proposed in this paper …

Context: Software applications frequently interact with database systems to persist and
retrieve objects. Object mapping frameworks address (i) the bi-directional conversion of data …

Abstract Though, Unified Modeling Language (UML), Ontology, and Text categorization
approaches have been used to automate the classification and selection of design pattern …

The ability to generate test data is often a necessary prerequisite for automated software

Code smells are symptoms of sub-optimal software design and implementation choices.
Detection tools were actively developed for general code smell related to coupling and …

The emergence of database-as-a-service platforms has made deploying database
applications easier than before. Now, developers can quickly create scalable applications …

Storing information in a software system is challenging, especially in the cloud computing
era. Traditional, battle-tested methods, like Object Relational Mapping, seem inappropriate …
