This paper presents the Conditional Execution design pattern that aims to help the implementation of fine-grained variabilities in the context of software product lines of information systems. The pattern has been used successfully in three product ...

The development of Information Technology (IT) demands the integration of systems (legacy or new), so that they can operate in a distributed way and promoting the reuse of design, code and information in a high granularity level. Enterprise Application ...

Free/Libre/Open Source Software (FLOSS) projects are developed in a collaborative manner, by communities of contributors that work on publicly available source code. However, many potential contributors are still daunted by the FLOSS world. The Patterns ...

Software development is an activity that works several aspects of Software Engineering. One of them is requirements elicitation and its writing in an understandable notation for software developers. Non-Functional Requirements are those associated to ...

This paper presents a pattern language for agile software estimation. The proposed language is composed of eight patterns and their relationships, which were identified through an extensive literature research and interviews with several companies that ...

A test class is an isolated piece of software that is responsible for verifying the expected behavior of a class, a component or an application. Because test classes can be developed without consideration of good design, sometimes individual test ...

The High Performance Computing has achieved a high level in terms of processing capacity at reduced cost using Graphics Processing Units to perform algorithms of high computing cost. The massively parallel systems based on GPU have to deal with hundreds ...

This paper presents a test pattern for developing automated system tests for distributed applications. System tests are those intended to test the whole, completely integrated application. Developing such tests is hard because it demands the probing and ...

The patterns in this collection are an addition to those that appeared in our book, Fearless Change: Patterns for Introducing New Ideas. Our passion for this topic didn't end when the book was published. Rather, we continue to read, observe, take ...

Applying patterns to architecture allows the reuse of efficient solutions. However, the activity of selecting which pattern is appropriate for each project is not trivial, especially for less experienced developers. The architecture is designed to ...

This paper presents an industrial experience of design pattern application for the modularization of variabilities from software product lines of web information systems. These web systems were developed at the Superintendência de Informática (SINFO) ...
