Summary:

This volume is a compilation of a set of five chapters that study issues of software security, quality, and evolution. Even though software has been around for a number of decades, its quality continues to elude computer engineers and scientists alike. This is largely due to the multi-faceted nature of software quality. Consider, for example, web applications that have become pervasive only in the last two decades. They have needed new techniques to assess their quality because they involve dynamic code creation and interpretation. Moreover, as software has become larger in size, its quality assurance imposes prohibitive performance overhead that has prompted the need for new, more efficient solutions. As software interconnectivity has become pervasive, security has quickly grown to be a dominant aspect of its quality, requiring novel techniques. Finally, as software changes throughout its lifetime, quality assurance approaches need to adapt with change. In this volume, we touch upon all these issues.
