  • Characterizing the Javascript Errors That Occur in Production Web Applications an Empirical Study
    Characterizing the JavaScript Errors that Occur in Production Web Applications An Empirical Study by Frolin S. Ocariza, Jr. B.A.Sc., The University of Toronto, 2010 A THESIS SUBMITTED IN PARTIAL FULFILLMENT OF THE REQUIREMENTS FOR THE DEGREE OF MASTER OF APPLIED SCIENCE in The Faculty of Graduate Studies (Electrical and Computer Engineering) THE UNIVERSITY OF BRITISH COLUMBIA (Vancouver) April 2012 © Frolin S. Ocariza, Jr. 2012 Abstract Client-side JavaScript is being widely used in popular web applications to improve functionality, increase responsiveness, and decrease load times. However, it is challenging to build reliable applications using JavaScript. This work presents an empirical characterization of the error messages printed by JavaScript code in web applications, and attempts to understand their root causes. We find that JavaScript errors occur in production web applications, and that the errors fall into a small number of categories. In addition, we find that certain types of web applications are more prone to JavaScript errors than others. We further find that both non-deterministic and deterministic errors occur in the applications, and that the speed of testing plays an important role in exposing errors. Finally, we study the correlations among the static and dynamic properties of the application and the frequency of errors in it in order to understand the root causes of the errors. ii Preface This thesis is an extension of an empirical study of JavaScript errors in production web applications conducted by myself in collaboration with Pro- fessor Karthik Pattabiraman and Benjamin Zorn. The results of this study were published as a conference paper on November 2011 in the Interna- tional Symposium on Software Reliability Engineering (ISSRE) [22].

    London School of Economies and Politicai Science Designingfor Mod Development: User creativity as produci development strategy on the firm- hosted 3D software platform Adriana Anna Cornelia Gerarda (Shenja) van der Graaf A thesis submitted to the Department of Media and Communications in partial fulfilment of the requirement for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy *** March 2009 Déclaration I confirm that the work presented in this thesis for the examination for the PhD degree of the London School of Economies and Politicai Science is my own. Where information lias been derived from other sources, I confimi that this lias been indicated in the thesis. The copyright of this thesis rests with the author. Quotation from it is pennitted, provided that full acknowledgement is made. Signature Abstract The thesis is designed to improve our understanding of user participation in Web-based development practices in the commercial setting of the 3D software industry. It aims to investigate whether the creative capacities of users and their contributions to the online firm-hosted 3D platform are indicative of a novel configuration of production that influences the processes of product development across firm boundaries. The thesis mobilizes the user participation literature developing in media research as its main theoretical framework. It builds on insights derived from work on user participation in media sites as seen through a cultural lens, in particular, as developed in Henry Jenkins' notions of 'participatory' and 'convergence culture'. The user participation literature is supported by a combination of insights drawn from work on communities of practice and user-centred innovation so as to offer a more robust approach to examine and appreciate the firm-hosted 3D platform as a site of user participation.
