    Comparing "Traditional" and Web specific Fit Tables in maintenance tasks: a preliminary Empirical Study

    No full text
    In this paper we focus on the use of Fit tables, a table- based approach used to clarify (change-)requirements and validate software systems. The main purpose of this work is to compare Fit tables for traditional systems and Web specific Fit tables. Results indicate that Fit tables do not provide any significant help to Web developers, while they seem to be useful for traditional systems. The main reason appears to lie in the complexity of the Fit tables used for Web systems

    Materia, qualità, organismo. LA FILOSOFIA SCHELLINGHIANA DELLA NATURA E IL PRIMO SORGERE DELLA FILOSOFIA DELL’IDENTITÀ

    Oggetto di indagini appassionate lungo tutto il corso della storia della filosofia, il tema della materia ha sempre esercitato un fascino irresistibile su ogni pensatore che abbia saputo accogliere la sfida speculativa che esso implica. Schelling si cimenta con questo enigma fin dai tempi di Tubinga nell’inesausto tentativo di gettare luce su ciò che per se stesso abita l’ombra. In un ardito percorso speculativo, dispiegato all’interno della sua filosofia della natura, egli deduce geneticamente la materia come spazio riempito e tridimensionale, e arriva a esibire non solo il processo che, elevando la materia al di sopra del mero riempimento spaziale, determina il sorgere delle qualità, ma anche quell’ulteriore potenziamento che, costruendo la materia ancora una volta, la rischiara nella perfetta identità di reale e ideale che è l’organismo vivente. Condividere con Schelling l’esperienza di questo percorso, avventuroso e a tratti aporetico, può essere certo arduo, ma la posta in gioco è alta, il guadagno irrinunciabile: una prospettiva che riguardi la natura non già come prodotto o insieme di prodotti, bensì come produttività assoluta; non già come fenomeno singolo o traccia dispersa, bensì come unità e totalità

    A csv data file and a readme file with meta-data.The data describe terrestrial gastropod sampling from an experiment examining whether co-grazing goats with waterfowl can reduce the number of intermediate hosts of a potentially deadly parasite, Parelaphostrongylus tenuis. Data were collected during two years and at two timepoints at UMN's Rosemount Research and Outreach Center, specifically in Lone Rock Woods. Data may be useful for others doing an inventory of terrestrial gastropod species in Minnesota. It is being released in conjunction with a manuscript currently in revision with EcoHealth.Minnesota Invasive Terrestrial Plant and Pest CenterMarchetto, Katherine M; Linn, Morgan M; Larkin, Daniel J; Wolf, Tiffany M. (2021). Terrestrial gastropod collection data taken during an experiment co-grazing goats with waterfowl at UMN's Rosemount Research and Outreach Center.

    Defect location in Traditional vs. Web applications - an empirical investigation

    No full text
    So far, few attempts were carried out in literature to understand the specific nature of Web bugs and their distribution among the tiers of applications' architecture. In this paper we present an experimental investigation conducted with five pairs of homologous applications (Web and traditional) and 780 real bugs taken from SourceForge aimed at studying the distributions of bugs in Web and traditional applications. The investigation follows a rigorous experimental procedure and it was conducted in the context of three bachelor theses. The study results, although preliminarily, provide a clear-cut empirical evidence that the presentation layer in Web applications is more defect-prone when compared to analogous traditional application

    Are Web applications more defect-prone than Desktop applications?

    A lot of effort in the literature has been devoted to define and validate fault taxonomies and models related to different domains, e.g. Service-oriented and Web systems, and properties, e.g. software quality and security. Nevertheless, few attempts were carried out to understand the specific nature of Web bugs and their distribution among the layers of a typical application’s architecture—presentation layer, business logic and data logic. In this paper, we present an experimental investigation aimed at studying the distribution of bugs among different layers of Web and Desktop applications. The experiment follows a well-defined procedure executed by six bachelor students. Overall, the analysis considers 1,472 bugs belonging to 20 different applications. The experimental study provides strong evidence that the presentation layer in Web applications is more defect-prone than the analogous layer in Desktop applications. An additional factor influencing the distribution of defects is represented by the application domain
