Titre : Future challenges in software evolution and quality analysis from industrial & academic perspectives

Conférencier : Dr. Aiko Yamashita, Adjunct Associate Professor at Oslo and Akershus University College of Applied Sciences, Norway and Research Scientist at CWI, Netherlands.

Résumé :
This talk presents some of the major findings of a controlled case study conducted for assessing the suitability of code smells as indicators of software maintainability, complemented by additional studies around the topic of inter-smells and refactoring behaviour. The results are not surprising, and not very hopeful either: quality in software is a hairy, chaotic problem. There is still a great challenge for developing adaptable, useful, and accessible quality models and evaluation methodologies that can (really) be used in industry. Based on the major research results; trends and experiences from industry, the talk explores some potential ways to deal with the chaotic facets of software development.
