“…Against the backdrop of the knowledge economy, knowledge has become the most valuable parts of intangible assets for most entities [8], since the effective management of knowledge will be favorable to the development of science and technology [9]. Organizations constantly utilize their own knowledge to seek chances to improve their innovative activities.…”

As a useful technical measure to deal with the problem of carbon dioxide (CO 2 ) emissions, carbon capture and storage (CCS) technology has been highly regarded in both theory and practice under the promotion of the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC). Knowledge mapping is helpful for understanding the evolution in terms of research topics and emerging trends in a specific domain. In this work knowledge mapping of CCS technology was investigated using CiteSpace. Several aspects of the outputs of publications in the CCS research area were analyzed, such as annual trends, countries, and institutions. The research topics in this particular technology area were analyzed based on their co-occurring keyword networks and co-citation literature networks, while, the emerging trends and research frontiers were studied through the analysis of burst keywords and citation bursts. The results indicated that the annual number of publications in the research field of CCS technology increased rapidly after 2005. There are more CCS studies published in countries from Asia, North America, and Europe, especially in the United States and China. The Chinese Academy of Sciences not only has the largest number of publications, but also has a greater impact on the research area of CCS technology, however, there are more productive institutions located in developed countries. In the research area of CCS technology, the main research topics include carbon emissions and environmental protection, research and development activities, and social practical issues, meanwhile, the main emerging trends include emerging techniques and processes, emerging materials, evaluation of technological performance, and socioeconomic analysis.

“…One of the characteristics of software engineering is the high volume of information that is generated and manipulated in the organization. Those involved in the project face problems such as: difficulty in systematizing the information generated throughout the software processes; difficulty in reusing knowledge generated from one project in another; loss of intellectual capital of the organization; and the non-representation of knowledge [27]. From these problems, integrating KM in software engineering has brought much discussion about how to manage knowledge in the organization.…”

Context: Software development processes are considered as knowledge intensive and therefore Knowledge Management (KM) can be applied to efficiently manage the knowledge generated. Agile practices can benefit the software organizations in terms of KM. Some studies have already presented evidence about this relationship. However, the intersection of these two areas still require further more clarification. Objective: This study aims to synthesize research on KM and Agile Software Development (ASD) using the meta-ethnography method. Method: In order to achieve the proposed goal, first, we applied the seven phases of meta-ethnography analysis method on a five articles selected from a tertiary study on KM and ASD. Second, the relations identified between the areas investigated were analysed from interviews with three agile development methodology experts. Results: A relation map that summarizes the synthesis identified between KM, agile values and scrum activities was created. Conclusion: There is a significant contribution in KM and ASD for both software engineering academics and industry. CCS CONCEPTS • Software and its engineering → Agile software development;

“…This definition was further supported by Garousi and Zhi [20] who highlighted that testing will determine the success or failure of the systems development or software project. Software testing involves dynamic verification and validation of program's behavior on a finite set of test cases against the expected behavior [21] that should be supported by a properly defined and controlled testing process which includes activities such as test planning, test case design, test implementation, test execution and test result analysis. It is an important aspect within software quality assurance that is usually conducted for defect detection and reliability estimation [22].…”

Separation of job functions between developers and testers due to enforcement of Software Quality Assurance (SQA) concept in software development has created worldwide demands for highly skillful software testers. This job function separation is to ensure that the systems or applications being developed are transparent at its testing activities. This will eventually lead to better quality of software products that will minimize impact or issues regarding software or system errors, bugs or faults. The aim of this article is to discuss on the current nature of software testing industry for identification of competencies issues or challenges related to software testers. This paper is intended to propose a software testing competency development framework as a job profiling, competencies assessment, training needs and professional career development for software testers. It is targeted that the proposed competency development framework will benefit software tester as individual, public or private agencies as organizations and education institutions as academia.
