In software development, it is important to assure a high level of process and software quality. In the agile context, suitable approaches to measure and analyze these aspects are hard to find. CMMI and SPICE are too heavyweighted, while EN ISO 9001 is too lightweight. To fill this gap, andrena objects ag developed ISIS, a navigation system for process and software quality management that combi...

BACKGROUND Multiple reports have confirmed that quality of life (QoL) in women after myocardial infarction (MI) is worse compared to men of the same age but some variation depending on QoL dimension was also reported. A less studied issue is coping after MI. AIM The present study examined whether gender affected the level and dynamics of QoL and coping over 1 year after MI. METHODS This que...

This paper presents an investigation into the quality of service (QoS) of cybercafés networks in Nigeria using five different cybercafés in Akure metropolis as a case study. The study was carried out in three stages. In the first stage, Distributed Internet Traffic Generator (D-ITG V. 2.4) was used to measure the QoS metrics such as packet loss, average jitter, bandwidth and delay standard devi...

Every electrical circuit is a potential source of electrical interference, particularly when switching reactive loads. Most electrical interference is low level and has no noticeable effect on other branches of electrical equipment. Variable speed drives, however, are highly non-linear loads; input rectifiers produce a high level of harmonics that may affect the performance of other devices con...

Multimedia quality assessment has been an important research topic during the last decades. The original focus on artifact visibility has been extended during the years to aspects as image aesthetics, interestingness and memorability. More recently, Fedorovskaya proposed the concept of ’image psychology’: this concept focuses on additional quality dimensions related to human content processing....

This paper describes an improved integrated Object Oriented metrics for the high-level design quality assessment of Object Oriented codes. A single class based metrics (a Weighted Class Complexity, WCC) has been proposed that may be used for cumulative measure of all aspects of object oriented design (encapsulation, inheritance and polymorphism), and hence an indication of quality of class in t...
