Cyber-Physical Systems (CPS) comprise interactive computation, networking, and physical processes. The integrative environment of CPS enables the smart systems to be aware of the surrounding physical world. Smart systems, such as smart health care systems, smart homes, smart transportation, and smart cities, are made up of complex and dynamic CPS. The components integration development approach should be based on the divide and conquer theory. This way multiple interactive components can reduce the development complexity in CPS. As reusability enhances efficiency and consistency in CPS, encapsulation of component functionalities and a well-designed user interface is vital for the better end-user's Quality of Experience (QoE). Thus, incorrect interaction of interfaces in the cyber-physical system causes system failures. Usually, interface failures occur due to false, and ambiguous requirements analysis and specification. Therefore, to resolve this issue semantic analysis is required for different stakeholders' viewpoint analysis during requirement specification and components analysis. This work proposes a framework to improve the CPS component integration process, starting from requirement specification to prioritization of components for configurable. For semantic analysis and assessing the reusability of specifications, the framework uses text mining and case-based reasoning techniques. The framework has been tested experimentally, and the results show a significant reduction in ambiguity, redundancy, and irrelevancy, as well as increasing accuracy of interface interactions, component selection, and higher user satisfaction.

“…Several threats have arisen as a result of the empirical nature of the evaluation undertaken herein, challenging the theoretical rationale of the outcomes, necessitating a repeat of this research to confirm or deny the decisions. Internal validity (IV), external validity (EV), construct validity (CV), and reliability validity (RV) are the four main threats (Felderer & Herrmann, 2019;Miranda & Bertolino, 2018;Ouriques et al, 2018).…”

Requirement prioritization framework using case‐based reasoning: A mining‐based approach

et al. 2021

In the current era of technology and development, component-based software development (CBSD) has been progressively implemented. Components are used in large products for multiple users with diverse viewpoints and are highly configurable to provide higher satisfaction. Components are reused because of their similar functionality to reduce complexity and ensure the correct interaction between interfaces during product development. However, implementation of component functionalities creates complications due to improper specification, prioritization of components requirements, encapsulated functionalities, and more human interaction. Furthermore, due to configurability and the involvement of multiple stakeholders, ambiguity and semantic issues arise in the behaviour of reusable components. To overcome semantic-based specification and prioritization components' related issues, we propose a framework that uses text mining and case-based reasoning (CBR) techniques.Results of our empirical evaluation demonstrate that the proposed framework significantly outperforms the conventional technique.

An Insight Into Test Case Optimization: Ideas and Trends With Future Perspectives

Software engineering comprises several disciplines. Testing, the subject of this paper, is an important phase which is still largely unpredictable, expensive, and ad hoc. Software testing has already been framed as an optimization problem, i.e., to solve problems in software testing various optimization techniques can be used. To adequately test the software, various rules called test adequacy criteria are used. In this paper, a review of optimization techniques used in domains, test case generation, selection, minimization, and prioritization of testing, has been presented. The review is conducted by selecting quality literature from journals, conferences, workshops, and symposium. The state-of-the-art issues in software testing have been addressed by analyzing the reviewed literature on the basis of the domain of testing, test adequacy criteria, and optimization technique used. After analysis of the considered literature, authors were able to conclude the limitations of existing work, list of traditional and recently proposed adequacy criteria as well as combinations of adequacy criteria for multi-objective optimization and optimization techniques which may be used in the optimization of software testing.
