Process and product quality assurance are very important aspects in development of software. Process and product quality assurance monitor the software engineering processes and methods to ensure quality. It is the process of confirming and verifying that whether services and products meet the customer expectation or not. This research will identify general measures for the specific goals and i...

In an ideal word, totally trustworthy software would provide an absolute guarantee that it will perform its required functions under all possible circumstances, will do so on time, and will never perform any actions that have hazardous consequences. In the real world, this hardly ever happens, since different software products have different degrees of trustworthiness. In this paper, we show ho...

Business stakeholders need to have clear and realistic goals if they want to meet commitments in application development. As a consequence, at early stages they prioritize requirements. However, requirements do change. The effect of change forces the stakeholders to balance alternatives and reprioritize requirements accordingly. In this paper we discuss the problem of priorities to non-function...

As with any engineering discipline, software development requires a measurement mechanism for feedback and evaluation. Measurement is a mechanism for creating a corporate memory and an aid in answering a variety of questions associated with the enactment of any software process. It helps support project planning (e.g., How much will a new project cost?); it allows us to determine the strengths ...

The present article discusses and presents a new comprehensive approach aimed at measuring the maturity and quality of software processes. This method has been designed on the basis of Software Capability Maturity Model (SW-CMM) and the Multi-level Fuzzy Inference Model and is used as a measurement and analysis tool. Among the most important characteristics of this method one can mention simple...

Data Warehousing (DWH)-Projekte sind einer Vielzahl strategischer, unternehmenspolitischer, organisatorischer und technischer Risiken ausgesetzt: Studien und Expertenbefragungen beziffern den Anteil der Projekte mit DWHBezug, die aus den verschiedensten Gründen fehlgeschlagen sind, auf 40 bis 75 Prozent. Aus diesen Zahlen lässt sich dringender Handlungsbedarf für die systematische und proaktive...

Sustainable software is software which developed with minimal and positive impact on environment, economic and social over its entire lifecycle. The main purpose of sustainable software is to build a software process or product with highlighting the sustainability dimension’s purposes i.e. (environment purpose, economic purpose and social purpose) instead of software development’s benefit. Curr...

The main difficulty in glottal waveform estimation is the separation of the unknown vocal tract and glottal components of the speech signal. Several glottal quality measures (GQM’s) have been proposed to objectively assess the quality of source-tract separation by exploiting known properties of glottal waveforms. In this paper, we present a performance evaluation of 10 GQM’s based on the consis...

For the improvement of software quality and productivity, organizations need to systematically build up and reuse software engineering know-how, promoting organizational learning in software development. Therefore, an integrated support platform has to be developed for capturing, storing and retrieving software engineering knowledge. Technical support is complicated through specific characteris...

Today organizations are a complex system, composed of different types of elements, working together. Given the nature of organizations, they must deal with change, at some point of their lifecycle, in order to improve their activity. Since they are complex systems, deciding what changes to do or not, is not a trivial problem to solve. Furthermore, there may be several enterprise scenarios to ch...
