Software bloat is code that is packaged in an application but is actually not necessary to run the application. The presence of software bloat is an issue for security, performance, and for maintenance. In this article, we introduce a novel technique for debloating, which we c ...
JSON is an essential file and data format in domains that span scientific computing, web APIs or configuration management. Its popularity has motivated significant software development effort to build multiple libraries to process JSON data. Previous studies focus on performan ...
Duets
A dataset of reproducible pairs of java library-clients
Software engineering researchers look for software artifacts to study their characteristics or to evaluate new techniques. In this paper, we introduce Duets, a new dataset of software libraries and their clients. This dataset can be exploited to gain many different insights, s ...
We study the evolution and impact of bloated dependencies in a single software ecosystem: Java/Maven. Bloated dependencies are third-party libraries that are packaged in the application binary but are not needed to run the application. We analyze the history of 435 Java projec ...
The adoption of agile approaches has put an increased emphasis on testing, resulting in extensive test suites. These suites include a large number of tests, in which developers embed knowledge about meaningful input data and expected properties as oracles. This article surveys ...
High-availability of software systems requires automated handling of crashes in presence of errors. Failure-oblivious computing is one technique that aims to achieve high availability. We note that failure-obliviousness has not been studied in depth yet, and there is very few ...
