 ABSTRACT

Context: Technical Debt (TD) is a metaphor that refers to short-term solutions in software development that may affect the cost to the software development life cycle. Objective: To explore and understand TDrelated to the software industry as well as an overview on the current state of TD research. Forty-three TD empirical studies were collected for classification and analyzation. Goals: Classify TD types, find the indicators used to detect TD, find the estimators used to quantify the TD, evaluate how researchers investigate TD. Method: By performing a systematic mapping study to identify and analyze the TD empirical studies which published between 2014 and 2017. Results: We present the most common indicators and evaluators to identify and evaluate the TD, and we gathered thirteen types of TD. We showed some ways to investigate the TD, and used tools in the selected studies. Conclusion: The outcome of our systematic mapping study can help researchers to identify interestand future in TD.

Paper Title: Generic Modelling Using Uml Extensions for Queens Challenge Puzzle Game From 1 to 25 Levels System Authors: Hussain Mohammad Abu-Dalbouh, Ghadeer AlJibreen and Nehal AlDowighri, Qassim University, Kingdom of Saudi Arabia Abstract: The Unified Modeling Language (UML) is a language for the specification, visualization, and documentation of object-oriented software systems. Existing UML diagrams can be used to conveniently model behavior, but these diagrams can be hardly used to model games. However, UML cannot describe in an explicit manner the games requirements needed for modeling Queens Challenge Game. In this study, the modeling of queens challenge puzzle from 1 to 25 levels is discussed, the proposed extension to UML covering the use case diagram, sequence diagram, activity diagram and class diagram aspects of proposed at the various views and diagrams of the UML. The use of queens challenge game is illustrated using a queens challenge puzzle from 1 to 25 levels example...
