Abstract
Companion archive for the paper "Product-Level Test Generation from Featured Transition Systems", accepted at the 17th IFIP International Conference on Testing Software and Systems (ICTSS 2026) and published in the Springer Lecture Notes in Computer Science series. The archive collects the unabridged experimental tables and the underlying measurement data that the conference paper could not fit within its page limit. Contents: - unabridged-tables/ — Six experimental tables (PDF + LaTeX source) in full, including the family-level baseline columns that the paper had to drop. - data/aggregated/ — Per-software-product-line, per-operator, per-coverage-level rollup CSVs used to fill the paper tables. - data/raw/ — Per-shard / per-run raw measurement CSVs from the experiment pipeline. - models/family-level/ — The family-level Featured Transition System of each of the eight subjects (XML format). - README.md — Full guide to the archive contents.
This publication proposes a definition and a classification of agile software development approaches and analyses ten software development methods that can be characterized as being "agile" against the defined criterion.
