Evaluating refactorings for spreadsheet models

TL;DR: A quantitative analysis of the awareness of construct validity in the software engineering literature between 2000 and 2019 and a qualitative review of 83 articles about human-centric experiments published in five high-quality journals between 2015 and 2019 are presented in this article .

TL;DR: A quantitative analysis of the awareness of construct validity in the software engineering literature between 2000 and 2019 and a qualitative review of 83 articles about human-centric experiments published in five high-quality journals between 2015 and 2019 suggest a minimalist approach to construct validity.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors propose to refine spreadsheet smells by exploiting inferred structural information for smell detection, which can identify parts of spreadsheets that are hard to comprehend or maintain and which are more likely to be the root source of bugs.

TL;DR: A comprehensive literature review on the quality issues and related techniques of spreadsheets over a 35.5-year period has identified the major research gaps as well as highlighted key research directions for future work in the area.

TL;DR: Almost every expert in Object-Oriented Development stresses the importance of iterative development, but how do you add function to the existing code base while still preserving its design integrity?

TL;DR: The present document details the how, why and when to apply refactoring in computer systems that have been poorly designed, this in order to a better performance and maintenance of the constituent components.

TL;DR: The method of operating a water-cooled neutronic reactor having a graphite moderator which comprises flowing a gaseous mixture of carbon dioxide and helium, in which the helium comprises 40-60 volume percent of the mixture, in contact with thegraphite moderator.

TL;DR: In this article, the graphite moderator is replaced by a gaseous mixture of carbon dioxide and helium, in which the helium comprises 40-60 volume percent of the mixture.
