SUMMARY:
The evolution of software development methodologies has enabled an increase in the delivery of new features and improvements. One of the best practices for increasing the delivery speed is continuous integration (CI). CI is a practice that motivates automating and integrating source code more often during software development. The adoption of CI helps developers to find integration issues faster. It is believed that the practice of CI helps the software to have fewer bugs throughout its lifecycle. One of the ways to find bugs is by performing software tests, and one of the most used metrics to ensure quality in software testing is test coverage. Therefore, it is believed that CI adoption and test coverage have a strong relationship. Previous studies have provided preliminary evidence for this relationship between CI and tests, however, most of them do not demonstrate it empirically. This dissertation proposes an empirical study that aims to identify the relationship between CI adoption and test coverage through the analysis of several open-source projects. We quantify coverage trend comparisons over time between projects that adopt (or do not ) CI. Our results suggest that CI projects have high test coverage rates and stability, while NOCI projects have low coverage rates and less potential for growth.

The evolution of software and hardware systems has enabled the application of such technologies
to assist in solving day-to-day problems in the context of big cities. Over the last
years, there is an increasing interest companies, researchers and government in the development
of large-scale systems and applications for the domain of smart cities. Large-scale
software systems often present critical challenges for their development, maintenance and
evolution. Smart city applications typically involve dealing with many challenges, such
as scalability, security, communication and heterogeneity. One way to identify problems
in the source code of large-scale systems is through the usage of static analysis tools. In
this context, this work presents an exploratory study that aims to evaluate the usefulness
of modern static analysis tools in the context of smart city applications. The study
analyzes 3 real smart cities systems through the analysis of rule violations reported by the
SonarQube tool. In addition, the work also relates such violations to existing challenges
of the smart city domain reported by the literature. The results show that the challenges
of security, data management and maintenance of the platform are the ones that exhibit
more problems related to static analysis.
