Abstract

fetched live from OpenAlex

Agile software development methodologies are driven by user created stories known as scenarios. These scenarios capture a subset of the program's functionality and often permit developers to perform an ad hoc form of program slicing. We developed a tool, and integrated it into Microsoft Visual Studio 2005, to formalise the slicing of a program based on a specified scenario. During development, programmers are required to insert, using a predefined macro, an XML tag set before all methods and class variables that they add, edit, or reference. Our slicing tool uses these tags to identify the methods and variables associated with a specific scenario and to create a compilable program slice that implements only the scenario. Scenario- based slices can be used by both developers and managers in support of tasks that include, but are not limited to, debugging, metric generation (e.g., complexity), cost estimation, prioritization, and requirements tracing.

Fetched live from OpenAlex and de-inverted. Abstracts are not stored in this database: the inverted indexes are 8.6 GB of the frame’s 9.3 GB of text, and the host has 13 GB free.

Not calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. The Gemma side is a direct model label for every work in the frame, read from the title-only record. The Codex side is a classifier learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and calibrated to design-weighted sample rates; fields without enough sample support carry no Codex call. Candidate is the union of the two sides; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels.

Machine scores (provisional)

The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.

Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
