The large size and high complexity of securitysensitive applications and systems software is a primary cause for their poor testability and high vulnerability. One approach to all...
In this paper, we propose the use of fine-grain process modelling as an aid to software development. We suggest the use of two levels of granularity, one at the level of the indiv...
One claimed benefit of deploying design patterns is facilitating maintainers to perform anticipated changes. However, it is not at all obvious that the relevant design patterns de...
