abstract. over the past decades, range managers have devoted extensive efforts to conserve and restore rangelands and sustain their exploitation but these efforts are more focused on the classic sciences and the exploiters' knowledge and experience have been neglected in the process. therefore, current study was done to deal with the prioritizing and comparing factors affecting rangeland exploi...

requirements might be put in a requirements database. With either implementation, one of the attributes must be priority. Why should you prioritize requirements? 1. If the project is budget-constrained, prioritization will help you decide which requirements should be implemented and which should be candidates for elimination. 2. If the project is time-constrained, prioritization will help you d...

Regression test case prioritization techniques have traditionally been studied as a function of objective metrics such as code coverage and fault proneness, which require much data analysis and computation from software release to release. Moreover, such techniques have traditionally been evaluated as a function of fault detection effectiveness. Consequently, not only applying the techniques is...

Testing of GUI (Graphical User Interface) applications has many challenges due to its event driven nature and infinite input domain. It is very difficult for any programmer to test for each and every possible input. When test cases are generated using automated testing tool it uses each and every possible combination to generate test cases hence generates numerous number of test case for any GU...

OBJECTIVES The aim of this study was to develop criteria for the prioritization of topics for health technology assessment (HTA) in the healthcare system of Kazakhstan. METHODS Initial proposals for criteria were suggested through consultation with Ministry of Health (MoH) policy areas. These were refined through a workshop attended by HTA department staff, persons from medical universities a...

AIM To investigate physicians' experiences in relation to prioritization and financing in health care in order to gain a deeper understanding of the reasons behind their standpoints. METHODS Eighteen physicians, seven women and eleven men, aged 30 to 69 years were interviewed and the text was analyzed using an inductive approach, also described as conventional qualitative content analysis. ...

The application of agile practices for requirements prioritization is a relatively recent trend. Hence, not all of its facets are well-understood. This exploratory study sets out to uncover the concepts that practitioners in a large software organization use in the prioritization process and the practices that they deem good. The study was carried out as a series of three embedded case studies ...
