Using a Follow-on Survey to Investigate Why Use of the Visitor, Singleton and Facade Patterns is Controversial (2012)
Presentation / Conference Contribution
Zhang, C., Budgen, D., & Drummond, S. (2012, September). Using a Follow-on Survey to Investigate Why Use of the Visitor, Singleton and Facade Patterns is Controversial. Presented at 6th International Symposium on Empirical Software Engineering & Measurement, Lund, Sweden

Context: A previous study has shown that software devel- opers who are experienced with using design patterns hold some con icting opinions about three of the more popular design patterns: Facade, Singleton and Visitor. Aim: To identify the character... Read More about Using a Follow-on Survey to Investigate Why Use of the Visitor, Singleton and Facade Patterns is Controversial.

What Scope is There for Adopting Evidence-Informed Teaching in Software Engineering? (2012)
Presentation / Conference Contribution
Budgen, D., Drummond, S., Brereton, P., & Holland, N. (2012, June). What Scope is There for Adopting Evidence-Informed Teaching in Software Engineering?. Presented at 34th International Conference on Software Engineering (ICSE), Zurich, Switzerland

Context: In teaching about software engineering we currently make little use of any empirical knowledge. Aim: To examine the outcomes available from the use of Evidence-Based Software Engineering (EBSE) practices, so as to identify where these can pr...

Pedagogic data as a basis for Web service fault models (2005)
Presentation / Conference Contribution
Looker, N., Burd, L., Drummond, S., Xu, J., & Munro, M. (2005, October). Pedagogic data as a basis for Web service fault models. Presented at IEEE International Workshop on Service-Oriented System Engineering (SOSE'05)., Beijing, PRC

This paper outlines our method for deriving Fault Models for use with our WS-FIT tool that can be used to assess the dependability of SOA. Since one of the major issues with extracting these heuristic rules and Fault Models is the availability of sof... Read More about Pedagogic data as a basis for Web service fault models.
