“…Once considered a 'toy' language by many developers [15], Javascript now presents as an ideal language for full-stack, enterprise development [16]. Node.js when coupled with its supporting package management system -npm -provides a lean and efficient platform that enables developers to be highly productive.…”

Over the decades, a variety of software development processes have been proposed, each with their own advantages and disadvantages. It is however widely accepted that there is no single process that is perfectly suited to all settings, thus a software process should be molded to the needs of its situational context. In previous work, we have consolidated a substantial body of related research into an initial reference framework of the situational factors affecting the software development process. Practitioners can consult this framework in order to profile their context, a step necessary for effective software process decision making. In this paper, we report on the findings from a case study involving process discovery in a small but successful and growing software development firm. In this organization, which has a focus on continuous software evolution and delivery, we also applied the situational factors reference framework, finding that context is a complex and key informant for software process decisions. Studies of this type highlight the role of situational context in software process definition and evolution, and they raise awareness not just of the importance of situational context, but also of the complexity surrounding software process contexts, a complexity which may not be fully appreciated in all software development settings.

From its earliest days, software development has been beset with challenges in relation to timely delivery, appropriateness of features, and quality of deliverables. Many advances in software development processes have helped to address these concerns. For example, agile software development has helped to deliver working software more frequently, and capability maturity frameworks have brought about improved consistency in quality levels. However, the age‐old challenge of better, cheaper, faster software has continued to beguile developers. In this paper, we discuss an emerging approach to software development, continuous software engineering (CSE), wherein software of operational quality may be delivered on a very frequent basis, up to many times in a given day. This approach uses a complex set of independent tools that together reduce the lead time in delivering commercial‐grade software. Having examined the situational context of one industrial organization applying CSE, we conclude that the approach may not presently be appropriate to all manners of software development. Nonetheless, the authors are of the view that CSE represents a significant progression in software engineering and that software development settings of all types stand to gain from aspects of the CSE approach.

“…The fast growing importance of JavaScript is underlined by Kienle [17], Charland and Leroux [5] and others, and clearly manifested in the fact that currently all major HTML5 APIs are based on that language. It is interpreted in contrast to compiled languages like Java and Objective C and brings client side functionality.…”

Abstract-Application mobility is achieved when migrating an application with its code, states and all related information from one device to another during its execution. As traditional applications are being challenged by apps, we believe it is time to rethink the notion of application mobility and explore the concept from a web perspective. More specifically, this paper aims to address the challenges associated with application mobility through mapping these against features within modern web technologies, analyzing their ability to meet the specific requirements of application mobility. An architectural proposal is described where we deploy application mobility using web technologies. We show that the emerging HTML5 standard along with related API:s and frameworks can provide an environment for delivering application mobility that strongly meets the requirements of support for offline work and heterogeneous environments.
