Detecting and Predicting Evolution in Spreadsheets - A Case Study in an Energy Network Company

Abstract: The use of spreadsheets in industry is widespread and the information that they provide is often used for decisions. Research has shown that spreadsheets are error-prone, leading to the risk that decisions are made on incorrect information.Software Evolution is a well-researched topic and the results have proven to support developers in creating better software. Could this also be applied to spreadsheets? Unfortunately, the research on spreadsheet evolution is still limited. Therefore, the aim of this paper is… Show more

“…Despite their popularity, however, spreadsheets are known to be fault-prone [20][21][22], and they lack reliable testing practices [23].
