Quality Engineering Laura Bassi Lab
Prof. Dr. Ruth Breu
Head of Quality Engineering
Laura Bassi Lab,
University of Innsbruck
QE LaB operates with the ambition to create novel methods and tools with both scientific
and practical impact. A crucial success factor to achieve this goal is the creation of
dedicated environments in both directions. On the scientific side, a backbone within the
development of tool prototypes is the embedding into an evaluation framework. In the
best case the evaluation framework consists of a method toolbox and a network of domain
experts enabling scientifically profound derivation and evaluation of requirements. On the
technology transfer side, a crucial point is the transition from research prototypes to products
targeted for industrial use. This may lead both to feature extensions (features which are
not interesting from the research point of view, but indispensable from the practical point
of view), and feature reduction (features which are exciting for researchers, but outside
scope to be implemented within a certain budget and reaching a certain quality state).
Within the second phase of QE LaB we made enormous progress in establishing such
environments. For instance, we developed a scientific method to evaluate collaborative
tools based on the principles of Design Science. This comprises the elicitation of
collaborative work scenarios and evaluation sessions with domain experts.
In the past project year we have not only been able to publish a high number
of papers (among them eight journal publications), but also have been involved
in manifold events and activities according to our mission. Most notably, we
organized the GChACM Workshop Software Engineering Live 2015, QE LaB
Praxisforum, and ran the first year of the Quality and Security Program (QSP)
Tirol, fostering the interconnection of research, practice and education.
As every year, I would like to express my deep gratitude to our supportive
environment, in particular the Rector´s team of the University of Innsbruck. My
warmest thanks go to the members of the QE and QE LaB team for your dedication,
excellence and team spirit. I particularly would like to thank you for your
professionalism in preparing and presenting demos of our methods and tools.

Research
One of the most important drivers of innovation in IT is the
collaboration of actors and systems across domains and platforms.
Arising scenarios e.g. in health care and transportation demonstrate
that the new generation of collaborative IT applications has the
potential to restructure markets, create new business models
and to organise human collaboration more efficiently.
In recent years many international activities in industry and academia
have focused on the development of standards, technologies and
frameworks for realising inter-organisational applications. Only a
minority of approaches so far consider the quality of these systems. This
contrasts with tremendous challenges concerning the management,
design and operation of these systems. On the one side collaborative
systems are agile, dynamically evolving systems, on the other side
quality attributes like functional correctness, security and privacy of
processed information play a major role during management, design and
operation. In this context the goal of QE LaB is to develop well-founded
concepts, methods and tools for the management, design and operation
of high quality collaborative systems. QE LaB has achieved an important
step of innovation through the novel paradigm of Living Models.

Living Models
In the Living Models sub-project we develop foundations and concepts
for model-based collaborative quality management. On the one hand we
drive forward the establishment of Quality Engineering as the discipline
of end-to-end quality management of software intensive systems. On the
other hand we develop innovative infrastructures for very large models,

integrating model-based data in heterogeneous environments
providing concepts for model versioning
supporting workflow-aware model elements
providing new concepts for model querying and model visualization.
With MoVE, the Model Versioning and Evolution Engine, we have conceptualized
and implemented a model repository referring not only the challenge of
software engineering data integration stemming from manifold sources,
but also the collaboration aspects. MoVE provides methods to achieve
traceability in heterogeneous environments by applying the concepts of metamodelling and interlinkage. In addition, MoVE is able to support change-driven
engineering through a built-in state-based workflow concept. The MoVE
workflow language is able to control different levels of quality processes,
including automated and manual task execution and orchestration.

Txture
In the Living IT Landscapes work package (WP2) we develop methods to
establish knowledge about the IT architectures in large organizations.
This involves the flexible modeling of information about various aspects
of the organizations‘ IT, e.g. about characteristics of an underlying server
infrastructure, the way it supports software and business functions as well as
dependencies to services, processes, external components and also people.
Grouping these information assets within one unified, enterprise specific model
enables types of analysis that are beneficial to the long term success of an
IT landscape. Typical types of analysis elicit the degree of impact in case of
hardware failures, risks by evaluating critical dependencies, the implementation
of security requirements or mismatches between service level agreements.
Central to the analysis of an IT landscape model is its visualization to users in
order to make use of the documentation. In our research we evaluate different
types of visualizations, like graphs, treemaps, tables or textual ones. Using
the right degree of abstraction and simplification of visualized IT knowledge
is paramount to its comprehensibility, but challenging to implement.
Also, the right methods need to be selected to document specific parts of
an IT landscape. In our research we analyse manual documentation via text
based and form based editors as well as automated imports from existing
data sources, like Configuration Management Databases (CMDB) and network
monitors. Thus we target the support for both business oriented and more
technology oriented stakeholders as well as leverage already documented data.
All of our research work is reflected by Txture, a flexible metamodeling and IT landscape documentation framework.

risk-Based testing
Risk-based testing utilizes risk information in all phases of the test process
and has a high potential to improve established test processes. In this area,
we developed and empirically evaluated the following methodologies to
support the introduction, optimization and validation of risk-based testing:
»
a taxonomy of risk-based testing aligned with the phases of the test process
providing a framework to understand, categorize, assess, and compare
approaches to support their selection and tailoring for specific purposes
»
a methodology to step-wise introduction of riskbased testing in existing test processes
»
a multiple case study on risk-based testing in industry to describe and analyse
the actual state of risk-based testing for application in other organizations
»
a customized risk assessment approach for our project

requirements speed reviews
Together with our project partner Porsche Informatik we created,
implemented and evaluated a novel requirements review method called
Speed Reviews based on the idea of speed dating. In Speed Reviews a
peer-review under specific constraints and limited by a time factor is
performed by pairs of persons, i.e., product owners in the context of
Porsche Informatik, which rotate and provide each other with feedback
on specific requirements. In a case study we found that Speed Reviews

aDamant - Efficient it
security and Compliance
ADAMANT is an open source tool for the efficient management of security and
compliance requirements. It empowers organizations to utilize a continuous
approach to ensure compliance with security standards and best practices.
ADAMANT was developed as part of the EU-project PoSecCo together with
industry-leading partners such as IBM, SAP, Deloitte, Atos and Thales to ensure
compliance with heterogeneous high-level security requirements within
complex and evolving IT landscapes and is further developed within QE LaB.
ADAMANT integrates various data sources for enterprise and IT architecture
models to keep the resulting security model in accordance with the actual
enterprise. Additionally, by means of customizable rulesets, ADAMANT
automatically adopts changes detected within the connected models
and ensures security requirements are always up-to-date. Multiple ways
to automatically monitor the fulfilment of security requirements enable
real-time compliance reports for auditors and guarantee timely reaction
in case of non-compliance. By means of a continuous and collaborative
approach ADAMANT integrates key stakeholders from different domains
and even from different organizations to ensure that all knowledgeable
stakeholders are kept in the loop and participate in IT security management
activities. Arbitrary security standards are supported by a powerful
template engine that allows enterprises to use custom templates or
predefined industry standards (e.g., BSI IT Baseline Protection Catalogue)
as foundation for their own security requirement definitions.

Crowdsourcing the Malware Threat
In recent years, distribution of malware has switched from classical channels,
such as e-mail, vulnerable services, or macros in software, to a new channel,
websites. This is not quite surprising as e-mail clients were improved, macros
in software mostly deactivated and nowadays all computers and routers
are outfitted at least with a basic firewall, shielding vulnerable services.
One major entry point left out- that severely reduces a user’s security - is
the browser. Browsers have become the central application for any kind of
computation, games, office work, money transactions, and of course social
interaction (e.g., Facebook). Therefore, it is essential to increase the security
awareness of users and in the long term extrapolate guidelines to decrease
risk of malware infections. Unfortunately detecting malware samples by
hand (i.e. keyword-based searches on search engines) is monkish labour.
In the collaboration with our partner AV-Comparatives we are tackling this issue
by treading new steps in the area of crowdsourcing-based security engineering.
Our approach harvests so called crowd intelligence in the area of web-based
malware to derive several beneficial results, i.e. get first-hand malware statistics,
derive risk-profiles in form of probability models, increase security awareness of
individual users, and, hence in the long term extrapolate guidelines to decrease
risk of malware infections. To facilitate this endeavour we developed a lightweight monitoring tool, dubbed Croft, which gathers freely given data from
heterogeneous user groups in a crowdsourcing fashion. As seen in Figure 1 the
whole process is structured in four major steps, collection of data on client side,
storing of data on the cloud, false-positive reduction, and statistical analysis.
In step 1, after an alert on the client has been detected data is transmitted
to the backend. In step 2 and 3 data is transmitted to the cloud-based
backend to filterer out false-positives. Lastly step 4 classifies users on
data they provided and for each such group (and employed AV scanner)
statistics are created. This leads to, malware statistics (e.g. origin thereof),
antivirus test statistics (e.g. speed and reliability), and user-based risk
assessment models (i.e. probability of a user to encounter malware).

This project is conducted in the context of the product database GS1
sync, a novel product knowledge base for standardized food product data
hosted by GS1 Austria. This knowledge base is driven by the EU-regulation
1169/2011 and will provide a valuable source of information for producers
and consumers. It is evident that the quality of the product data is of crucial
importance. GS1 Austria has already established an extensive collaborative
quality assurance process. The goal of our collaboration is to enhance the
degree of automation within this quality assurance process. As a first step
we have defined a product classification and an automated process that
maps the products to the classification according to the product‘s data. A
clustering of products into groups helps greatly to improve data quality
enabling product classification-specific checks and comparisons. Building
on this classification, we have defined rules to detect missing or incorrect
data. These rules have been implemented as a software service, which is
currently used by GS1 supporting their quality assurance process. As a next
step we plan to integrate our prototype tighter with GS1‘s workflow as well as
further improve and expand the defined rules, building on GS1‘s feedback.

„talente Entdecken“
it award for Bachelor students of the
institute of Computer science
The „IT Award of the City of Innsbruck“ is annually honoured by the City of
Innsbruck under the auspices of the Tyrolean Chamber of Commerce to Bachelor
students of Computer Science for outstanding project work within the course
„Software Development and Project Management“. At this year‘s competition, the
award was dedicated to solutions mobile materialising location based services.
The award was dedicated to the project Echo. Echo is a social network
which targets in what is really important for users: to obtain on
time and in a particular location the relevant information.
With this application it is possible to write so-called Shouts (short messages)
that are visible to everyone else in the vicinity. Sharing, commenting and
rating increases or decreases the range of the shouts. This local relevance
guarantees that the information flow is reduced to the essentials.

„Talente Entdecken“ is an initiative of the Austrian Federal Ministry
for Transport, Innovation and Technology fostering interest of
young adults in natural science and technical professions.
Every year QE LaB offers five positions for high school students
during four weeks of summer holidays. They have a chance to
conduct practical programming as well as literature research.
This year “Talente Entdecken” focused on quality characteristics for
mobile applications. The students have learned tools and techniques for
collaborative research and conducted a study. They shared their experience
by publishing the findings of their research in a Wikipedia article.

GRÜNDUNGEN
QUALITY INTELLIGENCE ist
ein umfassender Ansatz für das
Qualitätsmanagement von ITLandschaften. Er basiert auf zwei
Prinzipien:
1. Die Qualitätsziele sind am
Geschäft ausgerichtet (Business-ITAlignment).
2. Die genaue Kenntnis des Qualitätszustands der IT-Infrastruktur nahezu in Echtzeit ist Voraussetzung
für die technische Umsetzung.
QE LAB BUSINESS SERVICES
GMBH ist ist ein Spin-off der
Forschungsgruppe Quality Engineering am Institut für Informatik
der Universität Innsbruck. Seit der
Gründung 2012 führt die Firma
Projekte in den Bereichen Quality
und Security Engineering mit
namhaften Kunden wie dem Allgemeinen Rechenzentrum, Hilti, ÖBB
und Bachmann electronic durch.
Die Unternehmensgründung wurde durch das CAST gefördert.
Info: www.qe-lab.com
IT-TRENDS GESCHÄFTLICH
NUTZBAR MACHEN
Der Quality-Intelligence-Ansatz der QE LaB Business Services GmbH bereitet durch eine
hohe Qualität der IT-Landschaft den Boden für Innovationen.
T
rends wie Internet of Things oder
Industrie 4.0 sind nur dann effizient nutzbar, wenn die IT-Landschaft eines Unternehmens eine hohe
Qualität aufweist. Entgegen einer weit
verbreiteten Ansicht treibt IT-Qualitätsmanagement demnach Innovationen und
geschäftlichen Erfolg erst voran. „Unternehmen müssen überlegen, ob und wie
sie IT-Trends für das eigene Geschäft
nutzen können. Die Voraussetzungen
von IT-Seite können wir mit unserem
Quality-Intelligence-Ansatz schaffen“,
sagt Ruth Breu, Leiterin des Bereichs
Quality Engineering am Institut für Informatik der Universität Innsbruck sowie
Gesellschafterin von QE LaB Business
Services (QE LaB BS). Die IT-Abteilung
42

zukunft forschung 01/15
kann ihren Beitrag zur Geschäftsentwicklung dann leisten, wenn sie den Zustand
der Systeme genau kennt. In Zeiten von
heterogenen, fragmentierten und hochdynamischen IT-Landschaften ist das
eine große Herausforderung. Durch die
automatisierte Erfassung des IT-Betriebs
können die Experten von QE LaB BS mit
ihren Methoden und Tools einen solchen
Überblick in Echtzeit schon jetzt liefern.
Erfolgsfaktor Qualität
In Kooperation mit der Forschungsgruppe Quality Engineering an der Universität Innsbruck und Industriepartnern
entwickeln sie innovative Werkzeuge, die
IT-Architekten bei der Analyse komplexer Infrastrukturen unterstützen. „Unse-
re Vision ist es, dass IT-Architekten durch
die Strukturen ihrer IT-Systeme navigieren wie Reisende durch eine interaktive
Landkarte und dabei Abhängigkeiten
analysieren können,“ erläutern Matthias
Farwick und Thomas Trojer, Consultants
bei QE LaB BS: Mit dem txture-Werkzeug, das die dynamische Visualisierung
von IT-Landschaften und individuelle
Auswertungen erlaubt, ist ein großes
Stück dieser Vision bereits realisiert.
Gefährliche Kettenreaktionen in ITLandschaften, wie etwa bei Zwischenfällen einer großen Bank, als Software-Updates das gesamte Online-Banking lahmlegten, können durch automatisierte und
individuelle Analysemöglichkeiten vermieden werden.

Quality Engineering
Research Group
The Quality Engineering research group (QE) is a research
group at the Institute of Computer Science at the University
of Innsbruck. Together with her team Ruth Breu develops
innovative methods and tools for increasing quality and
cost efficiency in IT using model-based techniques.
Model-based techniques will be increasingly used in management,
development and operation of IT systems. The tasks of developers
will therefore increasingly shift from technology-based coding
to business oriented analysis. This is the only way to control the
IT systems of the future, which are characterized by distribution,
interconnectedness and cross-system business processes.
The goal of QE‘s research is to develop sound and practical
solutions and to unlock application scenarios.
models at work – The focus of
QE‘s research is on profound
practical solutions and new
application scenarios of models.
QE‘s research topics include model-driven quality assurance,
workflow management and planning of IT landscapes. In addition,
QE has achieved an internationally leading position in the areas of
security engineering and security management, in the past few years.
QE was established in 2002 and currently has around 30 staff. In
addition to worldwide cooperation with research partners, QE is
mostly involved in projects in cooperation with industry partners.
