Article Citation - WoS: 1Citation - Scopus: 1How Software Practitioners Perceive Work-Related Barriers and Benefits Based on Their Educational Backgrounds: Insights From a Survey Study(IEEE, 2023) Ünlü, Hüseyin; Yürüm, Ozan Raşit; Özcan Top, Özden; Demirörs, OnurSurvey results show that software practitioners from nonsoftware-related backgrounds face more barriers, have fewer benefits, and feel less satisfied in their work life. However, these differences reduce with more than 10 years of experience and involvement in software-related graduate programs, certificates, and mentorship.Conference Object Citation - WoS: 7Citation - Scopus: 12Utilization of Three Software Size Measures for Effort Estimation in Agile World: a Case Study(IEEE, 2022) Unlu, Huseyin; Hacaloglu, Tuna; Buber, Fatma; Berrak, Kivilcim; Leblebici, Onur; Demirors, OnurFunctional size measurement (FSM) methods, by being systematic and repeatable, are beneficial in the early phases of the software life cycle for core project management activities such as effort, cost, and schedule estimation. However, in agile projects, requirements are kept minimal in the early phases and are detailed over time as the project progresses. This situation makes it challenging to identify measurement components of FSM methods from requirements in the early phases, hence complicates applying FSM in agile projects. In addition, the existing FSM methods are not fully compatible with today's architectural styles, which are evolving into event-driven decentralized structures. In this study, we present the results of a case study to compare the effectiveness of different size measures: functional -COSMIC Function Points (CFP)-, event-based - Event Points-, and code length-based - Line of Code (LOC)- on projects that were developed with agile methods and utilized a microservice- based architecture. For this purpose, we measured the size of the project and created effort estimation models based on three methods. It is found that the event-based method estimated effort with better accuracy than the CFP and LOC-based methods.Article Citation - WoS: 1Citation - Scopus: 1Transcoding Web Pages Via Stylesheets and Scripts for Saving Energy on the Client(Wiley, 2022) Ünlü, Hüseyin; Yeşilada, YelizMobile devices and accessing the web have become essential in our daily lives. However, their limitations in terms of both hardware such as the battery, and software capabilities can affect the user experience such as battery drain. There are some best practices for the web page design that are shown to affect the downloading time of web pages. In this study, we report our experience in applying these practices to see their effect on energy saving. We propose two techniques: (1) concatenating external script and stylesheet files and (2) minifying external script and stylesheets that can be used to transcode web pages to improve energy consumption on the client-side and therefore improve the battery life. We present our experimental architecture, implementation, and a systematic evaluation of these two techniques. The evaluation results show that the proposed techniques can achieve approximately 12% processor energy-saving and 4% power saving in two different client types, 13% improvement in a typical laptop battery life, and 4% improvement in a typical mobile phone battery life.
