Abstract Anti-patterns are poor solutions to design problems that make software systems hard to understand and extend. Entities involved in anti-patterns are reported to be consistently related to high change and fault rates. Refactorings, which are behavior preserving changes are often performed to remove anti-patterns from software systems. Developers are advised to interleave refactoring activities with their regular coding tasks to remove anti-patterns, and consequently improve software design quality. However, because the number of anti-patterns in a software system can be very large, and their interactions can require a solution in a set of conflicting objectives, the process of manual refactoring can be overwhelming. To automate this process, previous works have modeled anti-patterns refactoring as a batch process where a program provides a solution for the total number of classes in a system, and the developer has to examine a long list of refactorings, which is not feasible in most situations. Moreover, these proposed solutions often require that developers modify classes on which they never worked before (i.e., classes on which they have little or no knowledge). To improve on these limitations, this paper proposes an automated refactoring approach, ReCon (Refactoring approach based on task Context), that leverages information about a developer{\textquoteright}s task (i.e., the list of code entities relevant to the developer{\textquoteright}s task) and metaheuristics techniques to compute the best sequence of refactorings that affects only entities in the developer{\textquoteright}s context. We mine 1705 task contexts (collected using the Eclipse plug-in Mylyn) and 1013 code snapshots from three open-source software projects (Mylyn, PDE, Eclipse Platform) to assess the performance of our proposed approach. Results show that ReCon can remove more than 50\% of anti-patterns in a software system, using fewer resources than the traditional approaches from the literature.

Las l{\'\i}neas de productos software son familias de productos que est{\'a}n {\'\i}ntimamente relacionados entre s{\'\i}, normalmente formados por combinaciones de un conjunto de caracter{\'\i}sticas software. Generalmente no es factible testar todos los productos de la familia, ya que el n{\'u}mero de productos es muy elevado debido a la explosi{\'o}n combinatoria de caracter{\'\i}sticas. Por este motivo, se han propuesto criterios de cobertura que pretenden probar al menos todas las interacciones entre caracter{\'\i}sticas sin necesidad de probar todos los productos, por ejemplo todos los pares de caracter{\'\i}sticas (emph{pairwise coverage}). Adem{\'a}s, es deseable testar primero los productos compuestos por un conjunto de caracter{\'\i}sticas prioritarias. Este problema es conocido como emph{Prioritized Pairwise Test Data Generation}. En este trabajo proponemos una t{\'e}cnica basada en programaci{\'o}n lineal entera para generar este conjunto de pruebas priorizado. Nuestro estudio revela que la propuesta basada en programaci{\'o}n lineal entera consigue mejores resultados estad{\'\i}sticamente tanto en calidad como en tiempo de computaci{\'o}n con respecto a las t{\'e}cnicas existentes para este problema.

El problema de selecci{\'o}n de requisitos (o Next Release Problem, NRP) consiste en seleccionar el subconjunto de requisitos que se va a desarrollar en la siguiente versi{\'o}n de una aplicaci{\'o}n software. Esta selecci{\'o}n se debe hacer de tal forma que maximice la satisfacci{\'o}n de las partes interesadas a la vez que se minimiza el esfuerzo empleado en el desarrollo y se cumplen un conjunto de restricciones. Trabajos recientes han abordado la formulaci{\'o}n bi-objetivo de este problema usando t{\'e}cnicas exactas basadas en resolutores SAT y resolutores de programaci{\'o}n lineal entera. Ambos se enfrentan a dificultades cuando las instancias tienen un gran tama{\~n}o, sin embargo la programaci{\'o}n lineal entera (ILP) parece ser m{\'a}s efectiva que los resolutores SAT. En la pr{\'a}ctica, no es necesario calcular todas las soluciones del frente de Pareto (que pueden llegar a ser muchas) y basta con obtener un buen n{\'u}mero de soluciones eficientes bien distribuidas en el espacio objetivo. Las estrategias de b{\'u}squeda basadas en ILP que se han utilizado en el pasado para encontrar un frente bien distribuido en cualquier instante de tiempo solo buscan soluciones soportadas. En este trabajo proponemos dos estrategias basadas en ILP que son capaces de encontrar el frente completo con suficiente tiempo y que, adem{\'a}s, tienen la propiedad de aportar un conjunto de soluciones bien distribuido en el frente objetivo en cualquier momento de la b{\'u}squeda.

En este trabajo se presenta la descomposici{\'o}n en landscapes elementales de un problema de optimizaci{\'o}n combinatoria: el problema de Dise{\~n}o de Redes de Radio. La teor{\'\i}a de landscapes provee un marco formal en el cual un problema de optimizaci{\'o}n combinatoria puede ser caracterizado te{\'o}ricamente como una suma de un tipo especial de landscape llamado landscape elemental. La descomposici{\'o}n de la funci{\'o}n objetivo de un problema en sus componentes elementales aporta conocimiento adicional sobre el problema que puede utilizarse para realizar c{\'a}lculos exactos sobre ciertos aspectos del problema o dise{\~n}ar algoritmos eficientes para resolverlo. Adem{\'a}s de la descomposici{\'o}n del problema, se presentan algunas de las posibles aplicaciones de esta descomposici{\'o}n.

La generaci{\'o}n de secuencias de pruebas din{\'a}micas desde una especificaci{\'o}n formal complementa los m{\'e}todos tradicionales de pruebas para encontrar errores en el c{\'o}digo fuente. En este art{\'\i}culo extendemos un enfoque combinatorio en particular, el llamado M{\'e}todo del {\'A}rbol de Clasificaci{\'o}n - Classification Tree Method (CTM), con informaci{\'o}n sobre transiciones para la generaci{\'o}n de secuencias de pruebas. Aunque en este art{\'\i}culo usamos CTM, esta extensi{\'o}n es tambi{\'e}n posible para otros m{\'e}todos de pruebas combinatorios. La generaci{\'o}n de secuencias m{\'\i}nimas de pruebas que cumplan con el criterio de cobertura requerido es un problema NP-duro. As{\'\i} que, vamos a necesitar un enfoque basado en b{\'u}squeda para encontrar las secuencias de pruebas {\'o}ptimas en un tiempo razonable. En la secci{\'o}n de experimentos se comparan dos t{\'e}cnicas bio-inspiradas con un algoritmo voraz determinista. Hemos utilizado un conjunto de 12 modelos de programas jer{\'a}rquicos concurrentes, extra{\'\i}dos de la literatura. Nuestras propuestas basadas en algoritmos gen{\'e}ticos y colonias de hormigas son capaces de generar secuencias de pruebas que alcanzan cobertura total tanto de clases como de transiciones, es decir, son capaces de encontrar el camino v{\'a}lido m{\'a}s corto para visitar todas las clases y usar todas las transiciones de un programa. El an{\'a}lisis de los experimentos revela que las propuestas bio-inspiradas son mejores que el algoritmo voraz determinista, especialmente en las instancias m{\'a}s complejas.

En este trabajo se presenta una herramienta software, denominada Interactive SPS o iSPS, que permite resolver, de forma interactiva, instancias del problema de Planificaci{\'o}n de Proyectos Software (SPS) haciendo uso de algoritmos evolutivos basados en punto de referencia. La finalidad de la herramienta es ayudar al director de proyectos software en la toma de decisiones, teniendo en cuenta sus preferencias para aproximar una regi{\'o}n concreta del frente {\'o}ptimo de Pareto. Para mostrar la utilidad de este enfoque preferencial sobre el problema SPS, se ilustra su aplicaci{\'o}n con un ejemplo paso a paso en el que se aplica el algoritmo iWASFGA a una instancia concreta del problema.

Network protocols are critical software that must be verified in order to ensure that they fulfil the requirements. This verification can be performed using model checking, which is a fully automatic technique for checking concurrent software properties in which the states of a concurrent system are explored in an explicit or implicit way. However, the state explosion problem limits the size of the models that are possible to check. Particle Swarm Optimization (PSO) is a metaheuristic technique that has obtained good results in optimization problems in which exhaustive techniques fail due to the size of the search space. Unlike exact techniques, metaheuristic techniques can not be used to verify that a program satisfies a given property, but they can find errors on the software using a lower amount of resources than exact techniques. In this paper, we propose the application of PSO to solve the problem of finding safety errors in network protocols. We implemented our ideas in the Java Pathfinder (JPF) model checker to validate them and present our results. To the best of our knowledge, this is the first time that PSO is used to find errors in concurrent systems. The results show that PSO is able to find errors in protocols in which some traditional exhaustive techniques fail due to memory constraints. In addition, the lengths of the error trails obtained by PSO are shorter (better quality) than the ones obtained by the exhaustive algorithms.
