Information needs in bug reports for web applications

Given the widespread popularity and increasing reliance on long-lived web applications (such as Netflix and Facebook), effective and efficient bug reproduction is essential to maintain functionality and user satisfaction throughout the application’s lifetime. Developers use bug reports to localize, reproduce, and eventually fix software bugs. However, the content of bug reports is not always helpful (e.g., due to incomplete or missing information). In this study, we explore what type of information is often missing in bug reports and how that information is presented in them. We manually analyzed the initial and final versions of 1000 bug reports from 10 popular open-source web-based applications. The analysis revealed that, regardless of the type of software (e.g., e-commerce software or personal tools), diagnostic suggestions from developers and end-user usage information are often missing in initial bug reports but only added later throughout the lifetime of a bug report. Also, textual descriptions and screenshots are used most to describe bugs, regardless of the type of bug (e.g., a functional or performance error). The study highlighted the need for improved bug reporting templates and tools to improve bug report quality and efficiency in web application development and maintenance.

Web-Based Maintenance Prediction of Machine Conditions and Failure Modes Using Machine Learning

Machine failure may result in unplanned downtime, production losses, safety risks, and increased costs. Hence, predicting machine failures is a significant challenge faced by many industries. Predictive Maintenance (PdM) techniques can help mitigate these risks by predicting machine failures before they occur. This research, therefore, develops two supervised Machine Learning (ML) algorithms to predict failure conditions and the associated failure modes for a milling machine. Six machine features were investigated. The ML models were then developed using a four-stage process including data pre-processing, training, evaluation, and deployment. Several ML algorithms were applied then the results were evaluated using accuracy, recall, precision, and [Formula: see text]1-score. The results showed that the Random Forest algorithm was the most effective in predicting machine conditions and failure modes of the milling machine. A web application for PdM was finally developed and tested for the PdM of the milling machine. In conclusion, the developed web application including ML algorithms can support the effective PdM for the machine, which leads to enhancing its availability and improving productivity. Future research considers adopting ML algorithms for predicting machine conditions and failure types of other machines.

WEB Application for Control Oxygen Regimes of the Body

Introduction. The muscular fitness of servicemen plays a significant role in the successful performance of military and professional tasks. Currently, 60 days are allotted for the training of a serviceman, so the task of optimizing this training is urgent. Typically, strength endurance can be effectively improved by combining strength, aerobic, and specific weight training. Therefore, the task of objective control of the training process is urgent. A number of sources emphasize the connection between the injuries of military personnel in the conditions of professional activity and aerobic productivity. That is why a model of regulation of the body's oxygen regimes was chosen for the purpose of training control. The need to process large amounts of information justifies the need to develop convenient applications for this. The purpose of the paper is to develop a web application for monitoring the training process of military personnel based on the model of managing the body's oxygen regimes. Methods. Mathematical modeling methods, programming methods. Results. The developed web application for modeling the oxygen regimes of the body allows for objective control of speed and strength training of military personnel. The web application is developed on the OpenXava platform, which provides the user with a more convenient service, is suitable not only for the Windows operating system, but also for Linux, Mac, UNIX, Android and does not require the installation of additional software. Keywords: mathematical model of regulation of oxygen regimes of the body, professional military activity, speed-power training of the military.

A study on the effectiveness of web applications for publishing translations of oriental literature

The article analyzes existing websites for publishing and reading translations of literary works, with an emphasis on identifying their main problems and shortcomings. Three types of such sites are described: universal, specialized, and oriental literature-oriented. Each type has its own peculiarities, but they all face similar problems, including a limited choice of content, difficulties in finding materials, and inconvenient user interface. The main problem with specialized websites created by a single team of translators (e.g., Silver Raven) is the limited number of available works, as well as the inconvenience and time-consuming search for the right job due to the need to visit the website of a new team of translators every time. The design is often mediocre and inconvenient for users due to a lack of experience in website development and limited resources. Some teams do not even have their own websites and work on third-party platforms, such as Telegram. As for universal sites such as Wattpad, the main problem is the lack of a specialized filter for translated works, which makes it difficult to find them. In addition, there are shortcomings in the design of the reading pages, where a lot of free space is not used and the text is difficult to read due to inappropriate size and formatting. Specialized sites for oriental literature, such as uAuthor and Baka, also have their problems. For example, uAuthor does not allow reading works directly on the site, which creates additional inconvenience for users. Baka, while providing such a possibility, has a complex filtering system and limited tools for adding and editing text. The article concludes that the existing platforms do not fully meet the needs of translators and readers of such a type of oriental literature as ranobe, which prompts the development of a new web application. The proposed solution is to develop our own web application specifically aimed at publishing and reading works. The main attention will be paid to the design of both the website and the text editor to ensure ease of use for translators and readers. Another solution is to create a web platform of several web services that are interconnected using the composite web service design and modeling method.

Optimisasi Web Service REST API Menggunakan Load Balancer dan Cache dengan Algoritma Round Robin (Studi Kasus: Madani Infosphere)

In today's digital era, the use of REST API Web Services is increasing, becoming a major foundation in web application development due to its simplicity and scalability. However, increased demand and data complexity often lead to a decrease in Web Service performance, especially in terms of response time and service availability. This research focuses on the performance optimisation of Madani Infosphere Web Service, an information platform developed by the non-profit organisation MADANI Berkelanjutan. This platform previously used a single server architecture that was prone to performance issues. To overcome this, this research applies load balancer technology with a round robin algorithm to distribute the workload evenly across multiple servers and uses a cache to store frequently accessed data. The results show that the use of load balancer with round robin algorithm is effective in overcoming potential server overload, making Web Service performance more stable and responsive. In addition, the cache implementation successfully reduces server workload and speeds up response time. Thus, this optimisation can improve the efficiency and availability of Madani Infosphere Web Services.
