“…Usually a researcher has three options about the selection of the data collection tool: tool can be developed, tool can be adapted or tool can be adopted (Lisboa et al, 2010). The researchers did not go for the first two options because of monetary, logistic and time constraints.…”

The development of Spoken English in Pakistani teachers training institutions working in public sector has never been assessed. This study explores the extent of improvement in English speaking skills among prospective teachers of one year teacher education program at three public sector universities in Punjab, Pakistan, where English is the medium of instruction, like all other public sector universities in Pakistan. The sample for this study consisted of 206 prospective teachers (131 entry and 75 graduation level). The unequal number of prospective teachers at entry and graduation level was due to difference in intake. The prospective teachers were called one by one and were assessed using the Fairfax County Rating Scale. The data were analyzed quantitatively. It was concluded that no significant improvement occurs in the English speaking skills of the prospective teachers during the teacher education program offered in departments of Education working in the public sector universities.

“…Invar deliberately hides the internal technical aspects of using different variability models for configuration from the stakeholders performing the configuration. The specific tools or data formats (see [3,4,5]) used for defining the variability models are not relevant for the end users who primarily focus on the available configuration choices and their implications. Invar unifies configuration operations on variability models and allows modelers to freely choose a data representation by accessing variability models through web services.…”

Context: In industrial settings products are developed by more than one organization. Software vendors and suppliers commonly typically maintain their own product lines, which contribute to a larger (multi) product line or software ecosystem. It is unrealistic to assume that the participating organizations will agree on using a specific variability modeling technique-they will rather use different approaches and tools to manage the variability of their systems. Objective: We aim to support product configuration in software ecosystems based on several variability models with different semantics that have been created using different notations. Method: We present an integrative approach that provides a unified perspective to users configuring products in multi product line environments, regardless of the different modeling methods and tools used internally. We also present a technical infrastructure and a prototype implementation based on web services. Results: We show the feasibility of the approach and its implementation by using it with the three most widespread types of variability modeling approaches in the product line community, i.e., feature-based, OVM-style, and decision-oriented modeling. To demonstrate the feasibility and flexibility of our approach, we present an example derived from industrial experience in enterprise resource planning. We further applied the approach to support the configuration of privacy settings in the Android ecosystem based on multiple variability models. We also evaluated the performance of different model enactment strategies used in our approach. Conclusions: Tools and techniques allowing stakeholders to handle variability in a uniform manner can considerably foster the initiation and growth of software ecosystems from the perspective of software reuse and configuration.

“…The process of developing a DSML, either from scratch or by reusing existing DSMLs, involves an initial phase of domain analysis (Lisboa et al, 2010;Czarnecki and Eisenecker, 2000). A domain analysis aims at documenting the domain knowledge in terms of the domain vocabulary and the domain requirements (e.g., rules of applying the domain terms, normative procedural guidelines).…”

Abstract:The core language model is a central artifact of domain-specific modeling languages (DSMLs) as it captures all relevant domain abstractions and their relations. Natural-language scenarios are a means to capture requirements in a way that can be understood by technical as well as non-technical stakeholders. In this paper, we use scenarios for the testing of structural properties of DSML core language models. In our approach, domain experts and DSML engineers specify requirements via structured natural-language scenarios. These scenario descriptions are then automatically transformed into executable test scenarios providing forward and backward traceability of domain requirements. To demonstrate the feasibility of our approach, we used Eclipse Xtext to implement a requirements language for the definition of semi-structured scenarios. Transformation specifications generate executable test scenarios that run in our test platform which is built on the Eclipse Modeling Framework and the Epsilon language family.
