Refactoring Java code by transformation rules in QVT-Relation

Model Driven Architecture (MDA) defines a software building process based on the production and transformation of models. In this context, QVT-Relations is a declarative language designed to permit both unidirectional and bidirectional model transformations. QVT Relations is a standard defined by the Object Management Group(OMG). On the other hand, the code optimization is the process of modifying a system to make some aspect of it work more efficiently or use fewer resources. Refactoring code define the process of changing a software system in such a way that it does not alter the external behavior of the code yet improves its internal structure. In this work, we propose a technique based on MDA. This technique implements a set of refactoring rules in QVT-Relations.

Delayed completion of Final Project of the career Computer Analyst: Seeking its causes

The software development methodologies and modeling techniques simplify the complexity of the software construction. The management of a software project wants to get a quality product, planning, organizing, supervising and controlling the evolution of this project throughout its life cycle. This work stems from a Research and Innovation Project for Improvement of Undergraduate Education that involves four courses of the last year of the course grade Computer Analyst, including the Final Project. This paper intends to address, investigate and identify the causes which make having the methodological tools and training, more teachers with years of experience in delivering these courses and personal monitoring of each group of students who made the Final Project, many cases fail to complete the project within the established planning.
