Desarrollo de un repositorio y formato XML para el manejo de datos experimentales en la Ingeniería de Software.

Abstract

This research is focused on the creation of an XML format for the exchange of experimental data in the field of software engineering, as well as the development of experimental repository data. The XML format was implemented as well as the repository using Scrum development methodology, which allowed compliance with each of the requirements that were obtained at the beginning of this research. In the implementation of the repository, free software tools were applied, such as JPA, JAVA, the integrated development environment (IDE), NetBeans (.2, Primefaces, PostgreSQL database manager 9.5, and Payara server 4.2). Evaluated according to the ISQ9126 standard, with respect to the maintainability characteristic, for which the following subcharacteristics were selected: capacity to be analyzed, capacity to be modified and stability. For the stability evaluation, the calculation of the cyclomatic complexity was used which a result in value of 2 (according to the scale proposed by McCabe), indicating a low cyclomatic complexity, in other words, it is considered a simple program with a little risk of unexpected damages when executing some change. In to the study of the repository analysis facility subcharacteristic the density of comments was used, resulting in a value of 12.5%, occasioning in a low density of comments so it can be considered as maintainable software. In the subcharacteristic evaluation of the easiness change, the study of afferent coupling, efferent coupling and instability was carried out, which gave a value of 0.9, locating it as a software that does not require much effort when making a change. As a conclusion to this research work, the format and repository implemented will help the researchers to better manage of information of their experiments.
