“…It has a discrete relevance for software safety, where it is highly essential to spot safety faults before they can be subjugated. V. Lima et al [18] have played a vital role in this regard by offering a formal V&V method for one of the most admired UML diagrams viz. sequence diagrams.…”

Classes in Object Oriented Systems are continuously subjected to changes and defect prone. Predicting such classes is a key research area in the field of software engineering. It is important to identify such change prone classes and defect prone classes. Identifying change prone classes can help developers to build quality software on time. Considering all the above issues, this paper covers the following key issues: 1) identification of change prone classes using various approaches 2) How changes in one class affects multiple classes associated with it. 3) Study Dependency between classes and their effects.

Modern systems are more and more complex and security has become a key component in the success of software and systems development. The main challenge encountered in industry as well as in academia is to develop secure products, prove their security correctness, measure their resilience to attacks, and check if vulnerabilities exist. In this paper, we review the state-of-the-art related to security specification, verification, and quantification for software and systems that are modeled by using UML or SysML language. The reviewed work fall into the field of secure software and systems engineering that aims at fulfilling the security as an afterthought in the development of secure systems.

“…The class diagram and the operation contracts are thereby transformed into a constraint satisfaction problem, which is solved with respect to a set of consistency properties expressing, e.g., the applicability or the executability of an operation. A formal verification technique for UML 2.0 sequence diagrams employing linear temporal logic (LTL) formulas and the SPIN model checker [8] to reason about the occurrences of events is introduced by Lima et al [9]. In contrast to these single-diagram verification techniques, multi-view approaches assert the consistency across a set of diagrams.…”

Abstract. Current optimistic model versioning systems, which are indispensable to coordinate the collaboration within teams, are able to detect several kinds of conflicts between two concurrently modified versions of one model. These systems support the detection of syntactical problems such as contradicting changes, violations of the underlying metamodel, and violations of OCL constraints. However, violations of the semantics remain unreported. In this paper, we suggest to use redundant information inherent in models to check if the semantics is violated during the merge process. In particular, we exploit the information encoded in state machine diagrams to validate evolving sequence diagrams by means of the model checker SPIN.
