  • A comparison of methods for finding Hamiltonian circuits in graphs

    Creator:
    DeCurtins, Jeffrey Lee
    Abstract:
    This paper compares three classes of algorithms for finding Hamiltonian circuits in graphs. Two of the classes are exhaustive search procedures and this study finds them to have an exponential dependence on the size of the graph. The third class of algorithms, based on Warnsdorff's rule, is found to be...

  • An experimental investigation of the cloze procedure as a measure of program understanding

    Creator:
    Ullrich, James R.
    Abstract:
    Previous research in program understanding has been hampered by the lack of an easy tool to measure the degree of that understanding. The cloze procedure, suggested by Cook, Bregar, and Foote (1984) was an attempt to find a simple, reliable, and valid measure of program understanding. In this procedure, tokens...

  • Lightweight Corefile Browser

    Creator:
    Muddarangegowda, Manjunath
    Abstract:
    One of the main problems in debugging parallel programs is in determining how far a parallel program has executed when it crashes or stops. Even if the program dumps core files for all the parallel processes, the information is at such a low level that it is difficult to interpret...

  • Electra : integrating constraints, condition-based dispatching, and features exclusion into the multiparadigm language Leda

    Creator:
    Zamel, Nabil M.
    Abstract:
    Multiparadigm languages are languages that are designed to support more than one style of programming. Leda is a strongly-typed multiparadigm programming language that supports imperative, functional, object-oriented, and logic programming. The constraint programming paradigm is a declarative style of programming where the programmer is able to state relationships among some...

  • Pair testing : comparing Windows Exploratory Testing in pairs with testing alone

    Creator:
    Lischner, Ray
    Abstract:
    Windows Exploratory Testing (WET) is examined to determine whether testers working in pairs produce higher quality results, are more productive, or exhibit greater confidence and job satisfaction than testers working alone. WET is a form of application testing where a tester (or testers) explores an unknown application to determine the...

  • On sequential/parallel matrix array languages

    Creator:
    Wang, Patrick Shen-Pei
    Abstract:
    A new system called sequential/parallel matrix grammars for two-dimensional pattern processing is introduced and studied. Miscellaneous language operations such as union, catenation (row and column), Kleene's closure (row and column) and substitutions are investigated. The equivalence of sequential/parallel matrix languages and finite-turn repetitive checking automata is established. Hierarchies for both...

  • A study of macro level complexity metrics

    Creator:
    Harrison, Warren A.
    Abstract:
    Controlling the "complexity" or "understandability" of computer software is important because of its impact on program testing and maintenance. Of the large number of complexity metrics that have been developed to measure the complexity of a computer program, most assess the "micro-complexity" of each subprogram and few assess the "macro-complexity"...

  • End-user assertions in forms/3 : an empirical study

    Creator:
    Wallace, Christine A.
    Abstract:
    Spreadsheets are arguably the most widely used programming language in use today, yet spreadsheets commonly contain errors. Research shows that regardless of the experience of the end user, an alarming number of spreadsheets contain errors (91% in recent field audits). Most spreadsheets are created by end users with little or...
