Characterizing the differences between pre- and post- release versions of software
2011
Proceeding of the 33rd international conference on Software engineering - ICSE '11
We found each of these usage characteristics to differ between beta and post-release, and by adjusting for the differences, accuracy of field quality predictions for Windows improved by ~59%. ...
However, little is known about how usage characteristics relate to field quality and how usage characteristics differ between beta and post-release. ...
For Windows 7, the proportion of machines with these important usage characteristics differed significantly between the two pre-release versions and the post-release version. ...

Mining metrics to predict component failures
2006
Proceeding of the 28th international conference on Software engineering - ICSE '06
In an empirical study of the post-release defect history of five Microsoft software systems, we found that failure-prone software entities are statistically correlated with code complexity measures. ...
Using principal component analysis on the code metrics, we built regression models that accurately predict the likelihood of post-release defects for new entities. ...
We thank Melih Demir, Tom Zimmermann and many others for their helpful comments on earlier revisions of this paper. ...

Which code construct metrics are symptoms of post release failures
2011
Proceeding of the 2nd international workshop on Emerging trends in software metrics - WETSoM '11
with post release failures in these versions of Eclipse. ...
In our comparison we identify which code construct metric, more often than the others, differs the most between these two classes of files. ...
The first 2 of those metrics were how many pre-release and post release failures were there for each file. ...

Product Strategies and Startups' Survival in Turbulent Industries: Evidence from the Security Software Industry
2004
Social Science Research Network
Specifically, the paper aims to underscore the role played by post-entry product strategies, along with their interaction, beyond that of pre-entry conditions. ...
Based on a sample of 270 startups that entered the Security Software Industry from 1989 till 1998, we find evidence that surviving entities are those that more aggressively adopt versioning and product ...
In short, the recipe for startups' survival is a fine mix of pre-entry technological capabilities and stable post-entry product strategies. ...

Exploring fault types, detection activities, and failure severity in an evolving safety-critical software system
2014
Software quality journal
Analysis and testing activities detected the majority of failures caused by each fault type. (2) The distributions of fault types differed for pre-release and post-release failures. (3) The percentage ...
Furthermore, it explores the associations among these attributes and the trends within releases (i.e., pre-release and post-release) and across releases. ...

The Secret Life of Patches: A Firefox Case Study
2012
2012 19th Working Conference on Reverse Engineering
We contrast the lifecycle of a patch in preand post-rapid release development. ...
The goal of the code review process is to assess the quality of source code modifications (submitted as patches) before they are committed to a project's version control repository. ...

Challenges with applying vulnerability prediction models
2015
Proceedings of the 2015 Symposium and Bootcamp on the Science of Security - HotSoS '15
Seeking to understand this discrepancy, we replicated a VPM for two releases of the Windows Operating System, varying model granularity and statistical learners. ...
However, binaries often exceed 1 million lines of code, too large to practically inspect, and engineers expressed preference for source file level predictions. ...
The Tools for Software Engineers team provided significant support, especially Jacek Czerwonka, Michaela Greiler, and John Smyth. ...

An empirical study of software change: origin, acceptance rate, and functionality vs. quality attributes
2004
Proceedings. 2004 International Symposium on Empirical Software Engineering, 2004. ISESE '04.
We did not identify any significant difference between the change-proneness of reused and non-reused components. ...
The results show that earlier releases of the system are no longer evolved. Perfective changes to functionality and quality attributes are most common. ...
Note that CRs may be issued pre-or post-delivery. ...

Predicting risk of pre-release code changes with Checkinmentor
2013
2013 IEEE 24th International Symposium on Software Reliability Engineering (ISSRE)
Such post-release failures are costly to fix and have negative impact on the reputation of the released software. In this paper we propose a methodology for early detection of faulty code changes. ...
Code defects introduced during the development of the software system can result in failures after its release. ...
INTRODUCTION Faulty changes, made during the development of the software system, must be detected and fixed before the system is released. Otherwise they can cause post-release failures. ...

Proceedings of the 13th International Workshop on Mining Software Repositories - MSR '16
However, Java and C are very different languages, and Java should be studied to inform the construction of repair approaches to target it. ...
We make observations that can be leveraged to guide high quality automatic software repair to target Java specifically, including common and uncommon statement modifications in human patches and the applicability ...
We discard signatures that appear both in pre-and post-fix versions, and then identify methods with the same name and number of parameters, but different signatures between versions. ...
