A better understanding of differences in the nature human computer interaction (HCI) relating to GIS software can help with learning spatial concepts and thinking skills. This motivates our study, which aims create a standard measure that be used individually or along existing measurement instruments for generalize results across studies evaluating usability. The study developed composite taxon...

The SOA Innovation Lab has investigated the use of standard software packages in a service-oriented context. As a result, we present a holistic approach for developing a service-oriented enterprise architecture with custom and standard software packages. It starts on enterprise level with the identification of domains where both the SOA paradigm and standard software are of relevance. Here SOA ...

Analyzing software in order to evaluate its quality attributes is not a foreign concept in software lifecycle. There are many methods that can be implemented to analyze software with some focusing on source code analysis and others concentrating on analyzing software artifacts from various phases such as design artifacts. Service oriented software is not excluded from this. As software that use...

A new standard for very small software producing entities is emerging. The standard describes processes for project management and software implementation, and assumes that conformance assessments or process assessments are performed. This paper describes development of a novel process assessment model. The work includes analysis of the prospective standard, which provides the basis for definit...

Program quality represents the most significant part of software quality control that assures all characteristics of software products to satisfy the user’s explicit and implicit needs.
