Research Field: Software Engineering

Usability Engineering

A good user experience can make a big difference between a software being a huge success and a software being completely ignored. With mobile devices usability has become even more important due to several reasons.

Agile Development

Agile methods and philosophies like e.g. Scrum are used more and more in software engineering projects in university and industry. They offer many advantages and possibilities in the development and management of software. Researching the different possibilities of agile methods, as well as the development of new methods are therefore a central research topic at our chair. We also put emphasis on the practical use of agile techniques in teaching.

Continuous software engineering

Continuous Delivery is based on configuration management and continuous integration and allows developers to release the current development state of their software to users at any time in the development process. After successfully building a deployment pipeline, a developer can create a release with only a few interactions and has the possibility to obtain feedback from users easily and early in the development process.

Master / BachelorImproving the Communication With External Systems in Artemis
Year2022
Advisor(s)Prof. Dr. Stephan Krusche
Abstract

The communication with the external systems (Bamboo, Bitbucket, Jenkins, Gitlab) in Artemis can be further improved. Artemis should store the console log of failed builds in the database and not always fetch it from the CI system. It should be possible to sync all build plans of an exercise in case the template build plan is changed. Tutors should be able to download the student repository including the tests to simplify the local setup.

Master / BachelorTemplates for All Programming Languages in Artemis
Year2022
Advisor(s)Prof. Dr. Stephan Krusche
Abstract

With its VCS and CI architecture, Artemis supports any programming language for programming exercises. Currently, it includes templates for many popular languages, however templates for a couple of languages is still missing. In this thesis, new templates for programming exercises will be developed and tested with the Bitbucket/Bamboo and Gitlab/Jenkins. In addition, static code analysis should be integrated into more programming exercise templates.

Master / BachelorFurther Development of the Gitlab / Jenkins Integration in Artemis
Year2022
Advisor(s)Prof. Dr. Stephan Krusche
Abstract

Programming exercises in Artemis can be realized with Bitbucket and Bamboo or with Gitlab and Jenkins. Currently, the integration with Gitlab and Jenkins is limited and does not offer all functionality. In this thesis, the missing features would be implemented. In addition, the concept of build agents and dockerized builds should be realized within Jenkins.

Master / BachelorDevelopment of an Eclipse Plugin for Artemis
Year2022
Advisor(s)Prof. Dr. Stephan Krusche
Abstract

There is already an IntelliJ plugin for Artemis called Orion https://github.com/ls1intum/Orion, it would also be interesting to develop an Eclipse plugin with the same feature set.

Master / BachelorFurther Development of the Intellij Plugin Orion (https://github.com/ls1intum/Orion)
Year2022
Advisor(s)Prof. Dr. Stephan Krusche
Abstract

Orion already works for students to participate in programming exercises and for instructors to setup programming exercises, but not yet for the code review of programming exercises by tutors. Inline hints, the support for team based exercises and automatic conflict resolution would be other possible enhancements.

Master / BachelorFurther Development of Apollon (https://github.com/ls1intum/Apollon)
Year2022
Advisor(s)Prof. Dr. Stephan Krusche
Abstract

Apllon is an online modeling editor written in React. It offers an easy to use and lightweight experience to learn UML and other notations in an interactive environment. It runs as standalone version on https://apollon.ase.in.tum.de offering a collaborative modeling experience without accounts. It is also integrated into Artemis to enable modeling exercises. Students create models, tutors assess those models and provide feedback which students can then see in order to improve their modeling skills.
