JSEP publishes not only research papers, but survey papers, position papers and replication papers. Topics in JSEP include methodologies, requirements, design development, usability, maintenance and other practical topics in software engineering. JSEP is free to read, however authors are asked to pay a small publishing fee.</p> https://www.jsep.info/index.php/jsep/article/view/23 2024-04-22T11:42:05+00:00 Richard Rabin Maiti richard.maiti@kysu.edu Clifton Wise clifton.wise@kysu.edu Abdul Agboola abdul.agboola@kysu.edu

<p>The purpose of this research was to explore ways in which video games and or gaming in general assisted STEM minority students in the reduction of stress. Student stress is generated by course attendance, participation, homework, social life, perceived parental pressure, university applications, and seemingly never-ending workloads. 59% of students play games regularly, 36% play once in a while or sometimes. 70% of college students play video, computer, and or online games at least once in a while, and 65% have been reported to be regular or occasional gamers. This study researches student stress, how students overcome their anxiety by playing games, what type of games they play, what device they play games on, and whether gaming reduces said stress? 95% of minority STEM students agree that video games reduce stress. Smartphones and Xbox consoles are among the student’s top systems for playing video games and action and puzzle games are the top games played by STEM students.</p>

<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">We present the overview of DevSecOps frameworks for Software Development Lifecycle with their current limitations. At the end of the paper we present a new framework of more precise assessment of DevSecOps maturity. Unlike other frameworks that leverage various components of governance, compliance, and risk-based assessment with convoluted parameters that can’t be applied to a lifecycle across the board, a proposed framework simplifies the process that could apply to any system. It concentrates on five key questions, and the ability to answer those would dictate developmental areas and guide a software team on the work for several quarters ahead.</span></p>
