“…To adopt evidence-based practical and theoretical perspectives, researchers, especially in the penetration testing domain, rely on solid empirical evidence that reports methodologies, frameworks, models, and practices. Systematic literature review (SLR) is one of the most suitable methods to encourage evidence-based security practices [93][94][95][96][97][98]. Researchers followed the SLR rules proposed by Kitchenham & Charters [56] and Keele & Bell [99].…”

Model evaluation is a cornerstone of scientific research as it represents the findings' accuracy and model performance. A case study is commonly used in evaluating software engineering models. Due to criticism in terms of generalization from a single case study and testers, deciding on the number of case studies used for evaluation and the number of testers has been one of the researchers’ challenges. Multiple case studies with multiple testers can be difficult in some domains, such as penetration testing, due to the complexity and time needed to prepare test cases. This study aims to review the literature and examine the evaluation methods used pertaining to the number of case studies and testers involved. This study is beneficial for researchers, students, and penetration testers as it provides case study design steps that are useful to determine the appropriate number of test cases and testers required. The paper's findings and novelty highlight that a single case study with a single tester is enough to evaluate a model. It also strikes a balance between what is enough for the evaluation and the need to reduce criticisms of a single case study by using two case studies with a single tester.

“…Traditionally, dependability attributes such as reliability, safety, and integrity are treated as afterthoughts, implemented after the software component is developed. Thus, evaluating component-based software for dependability attributes is critical in determining system dependability [8,[33][34][35][36][37][38].…”

Component-based software development (CBSD) is an emerging technology that integrates existing software components to swiftly develop and deploy big and complex software systems with little engineering effort, money, and time. CBSD, on the other hand, has difficulties with security trust, particularly dependability. When a system provides the desired outcomes while causing no harm to the environment, it is said to be dependable. Dependability encompasses several attributes, including availability, confidentiality, integrity, reliability, safety, and maintainability. Developing dependable component software is achieved by embedding dependability attributes in CBSD. Thus, the CBSD model must address the dependability attributes. Hence, the objectives of this work are: (1) to propose a model for developing a dependable system using componentbased software development approach (hereafter the model is referred to as MDDS-CBSD), which aims to mitigate software component vulnerabilities, and (2) to assess the proposed model. The best-practice method was used to frame the CBSD architecture phases and processes, as well as embed the six dependability attributes. The MDDS-CBSD architecture was evaluated using expert opinion. The MDDS-CBSD was also used to develop an information and communications technology (ICT) portal using an empirical study method. Vulnerability Assessment Tools were used to assess the developed ICT portal's dependability. The MDDS-CBSD may be used to create web application systems and to protect them from attacks. Model developers may use CBSD to describe and assess dependability attributes at any point during the model development process. The reliability of this model can also let companies utilise CBSD with confidence.

CBSD focusses on composing software systems rather than programming software. Assuming that certain parts of a large software system recur frequently, common parts must be written once and reused many times rather than written repeatedly [1,2]. At the same time, CBSD has a number of advantages, from increasing programmer productivity to reducing software development costs [3]. Software reuse can help meet demands for faster delivery, lower software production and maintenance costs, and better quality. Thus, CBSD's main goal is to reduce overall software development costs. That is, software development and maintenance must be less costly. CBSD is also required for faster software delivery.

“…Moreover, the massive volumes of data contain a lot of distortion, which makes data analysis difficult. Current methodologies lack the level of resilience necessary, necessitating the implementation of novel data analytics techniques and software tools [78,[95][96][97][98][99][100]. On the other hand, appropriate visual techniques must be developed in order to acquire meaningful insights into the data collected.…”

Learning systems have reached their peak with the revolution of smart technologies. In the past few years, the Internet of Things (IoT) has become one of the most advanced and popular technologies, affecting many different areas. Using IoT in an e-learning system is a fantastic technology that improves the e-learning system and makes it more inventive and cutting-edge. The key challenge addressed in this study is the acceptance of IoT usage in e-learning systems as well as how to improve it so that it can be utilized properly. This research concentrates on how IoT can benefit e-learning systems and how it might benefit users of e-learning systems. A comprehensive literature review was conducted to get acquainted with the important research related to IoT technology and e-learning systems through online research databases and reliable scientific journals. The first research finding is that e-learning systems need such modern techniques as IoT to enable interconnection, increase reliability, and enhance the enjoyment of the educational process. The second result is that research related to the development of new technologies like the IoT has a significant impact on enhancing the performance of new systems and bringing about positive change. This study highlights the value of IoT, particularly in e-learning systems. It aids in the development of new strategies that will improve the efficacy of e-learning systems and stimulate researchers to develop advanced technology.
