Requirements for a software development project are gradually refined as more information becomes available. This process of requirements elaboration can be quantified using the appropriate set of metrics. This paper reports the results of an empirical study conducted to analyze the requirements elaboration of an industrial software process management tool-SoftPM-being used by more than 300 Chinese...
Different classes of information system stakeholders depend on different values to be successful. Understanding stakeholders' value dependencies is critical for developing software intensive systems. However, there is no universal one-size-fits-all stakeholder/ value metric that can be applied for a given system. This paper presents an analysis of major classes of stakeholders' value priorities using...
Resource allocation in software development is important and many methods have been proposed. Related empirical research is yet scarce and evidence is required to validate the theoretical methods. This paper introduces the staffing pattern as a metric of resource distribution among project phases, and verifies its effect on software quality and productivity using real project data. The main findings...
Distribution of effort in software engineering process has been the basis for facilitating more reasonable software project planning. This paper reports empirical results on activity effort distribution patterns of a series of industrial software maintenance projects. The results show that with respect to different influencing factors, the projects demonstrate large variations in their activity effort...
Software processes are highly people-dependent and knowledge transfer-centric compared to traditional manufacturing processes. Different people are responsible for different types of knowledge transformation according to the skill set and expertise they master. This adds a great deal of complicated factors in resolving the scheduling problem in software development and maintenance process planning...
