Processes and methods used for software construction have a high influence on the quality of the resulting software product. Therefore, the research in the field of method engineering should be more focused on quality aspects. Due to this reason, we propose in this paper, process components for quality evaluation and quality improvement. These process components can be stored in a repository an...

of higher education into focus in the past few years. they have tried to improve the quality of their own higher education. the studies show that iranian universities are not at an accepted level in terms of quality. they have encountered several problems which have diminished their quality level. this study aimed at assessing the quality of medical education program as viewed by general practi...

In this work, the bad code smells are studied empirically and their relationship to source code metrics is evaluated. This work also presents an initial taxonomy for the bad code smell, which improves their understandability and feasibility The bad code smells, presented by Martin Fowler and Kent Beck, are dissatisfactory structures in the source code of software that decrease software quality ...

Service engineering and service-oriented architecture as an integration and platform technology is a recent approach to software systems integration. Software quality aspects such as performance are of central importance for the integration of heterogeneous, distributed service-based systems. Empirical performance evaluation is a process of measuring and calculating performance metrics of the i...
