An important component of e-government maturity is online software tools for financial analysis directly on the website. This paper develops a novel extension of website heuristic evaluation methodology, contributing a set of guidelines which encompasses not only website content, but also online software quality, based on established software evaluation concerns. Interactive online retirement a...

Despite improvements in software engineering processes and tools, concrete preventative and analytical software quality assurance activities are still typically manually triggered and determined, resulting in missed or untimely quality opportunities and increased project overhead. Quality goals, when defined, lack holistic environmental support for automated performance measurement and governan...

In this chapter, we first survey current component technologies and discuss the features they inherit. Quality assurance (QA) characteristics of component systems, and the life cycle of component-based software development (CBSD) are also addressed. Based on the characteristics of the life cycle, we propose a QA model for CBSD. The model covers the eight main processes in component-based softwa...

For an effective test measurement, a software tester requires a testing metrics that could measure the quality and productivity of software development process along with increasing its reusability, correctness and maintainability. Until now, the understanding of measuring software quality is not yet sophisticated enough and is still far away from being standardized and in order to assess the s...

Software’s developed for the e-Research are generic in nature and are used in diverse application context. The Usability evaluation becomes more severe for that type of software’s. In this paper, we focus on e-Research application based software on small scale to evaluate the quality assessment in accordance to the usability of the software. The graphical user interfaces are the main artifacts ...

abstract in this research we studied the economical effects of rainfed irrigation and 4, 8, 12 and 16 day sprinkler irrigation intervals as well as their effects on water productivity and tea quality. the study was done in fouman tea research station, northern part of iran where tea is a major crop, during growing season of 2002-2004. the results showed that during dry season of 2002 and 2003 y...

Maintainability is an important quality attribute for almost every quality model. Maintainability of the software is considered as most expensive phase in software development life cycle as it consumes almost major part of the total effort allocated to the software system. Maintainability evaluation is complex due to its imprecise output. This paper proposes a maintainability model by consideri...

In order to ensure that technology supports business needs and that IT investments deliver the desired value, it is fundamental to define an Information System Architecture (ISA) and measure its accurateness to the business model and existing technologies. Thus, in this paper we are concern on evaluating ISA by measuring its qualities (relevant at enterprise level). Since software architecture ...
