The principles of quantum mechanics – superposition, entanglement, measurement, and decoherence – form the foundation of quantum computing. Qubits, which are abstract objects having a mathematical expression to implement the rules of quantum physics, are the fundamental building blocks of computation. Software is a key component of quantum computing, along with quantum hardware. Algorithms make up software, and they are implemented using logic gates and quantum circuits. These qualities make quantum computing a paradigm that non-physicists find difficult to comprehend. It is crucial to incorporate a conceptual framework of the principles upon which quantum computing is founded into this new method of creating software. In this paper, we present a kind of taxonomical view of the fundamental concepts of quantum computing and the derived concepts that integrate the emerging discipline of quantum software engineering. Because the systematic review's main goal is to identify the core ideas behind quantum computing and quantum software, we conducted a quasi-systematic mapping as part of the review process. The findings can serve as a starting point for computer science teachers and students to address the study of this field.

“…Several works tried to understand how code smells can affect software, evaluating different aspects of quality, such as maintainability [21,67,82], modularity [62], program comprehension [2], change-proneness [33,34], and how developers perceive code smells [53,81]. Other studies aim to evaluate how code smells impact the defect proneness [24,28,34,49,50,51]. Olbrich et al [49] evaluated the fault-proneness evolution of the God Class and Brain Class of three open-source systems.…”

“…They report the existence of a relationship between some code smells with defects, but it is not consistent for all system versions. Openja et al [50] evaluated how code smells can make the class more fault-prone in quantum projects. Differently from these studies, we aim to understand whether models build for defects and code smells are similar or not.…”

Software defect and code smell prediction help developers identify problems in the code and fix them before they degrade the quality or the user experience. The prediction of software defects and code smells is challenging, since it involves many factors inherent to the development process. Many studies propose machine learning models for defects and code smells. However, we have not found studies that explore and compare these machine learning models, nor that focus on the explainability of the models. This analysis allows us to verify which features and quality attributes influence software defects and code smells. Hence, developers can use this information to predict if a class may be faulty or smelly through the evaluation of a few features and quality attributes. In this study, we fill this gap by comparing machine learning models for predicting defects and seven code smells. We trained in a dataset composed of 19,024 classes and 70 software features that range from different quality attributes extracted from 14 Java open-source projects. We then ensemble five machine learning models and employed explainability concepts to explore the redundancies in the models using the top-10 software features and quality attributes that are known to contribute to the defects and code smell predictions. Furthermore, we conclude that although the quality attributes vary among the models, the complexity, documentation, and size are the most relevant. More specifically, Nesting Level Else-If is the only software feature relevant to all models.

In today’s society, the amount of data available in many area has made it more important than ever to use effective technological tools for accurate and clear analysis and presentation of information. Therefore, the main objective of the research is to implement a Web/mobile system to improve inventory management in a private company. It has been developed under an agile extreme programming XP methodology, taking into account the following phases, which are carried out four structural activities planning, design, coding and testing. In addition, the following technologies were chosen: such as with programming languages PHP, with markup language PHP, MySql v. 10.0 as database system MySql v. 10.0, and cascading style sheets CSS for visual customisation. Therefore, the results showl a 13% improvement in the efficiency of the percentage of spools to be located (PSL, a 28% a better control of the index of percentage of inventoried coils (IC) and an 1,1% difference in efficiency of the Productivity per user (PU) index. With the implementation of a web-based web/mobile inventory management system to improve inventory control and mobile to better control of a company inventory management, using as a reference the most agile methodology to diversify the cases and functionalities contained in the system.
