[Background] A high-functioning team is a decisive factor for a successful software development project. However building such a team is not easy. Among many issues and obstacles encountered by teams, social loafing is a common but difficult one to tackle. [Aim] We intend to construct an approach to effectively prevent social loafing behaviors in software development teams. [Method] We built one social...
Requirements elicitation is the first crucial stage of a requirements engineering process, which intends to uncover, acquire and elaborate requirements for software systems. When software startups are concerned, requirements elicitation is particularly challenging due to the high uncertainty that a startup is confronted with. Few studies have investigated how software startups conduct requirements...
Recent research in software engineering supports the "happy-productive" thesis, and the desire of flourishing happiness among programmers is often expressed by industry practitioners. Recent literature has suggested that a cost-effective way to foster happiness and productivity among workers could be to limit unhappiness of developers due to its negative impact. However, possible negative...
As prominent examples such as Twitter have demonstrated, software start-ups frequently find that their initial product ideas don't pan out commercially. So, they must be prepared to change direction in one or more ways, a process called pivoting.
The study of affects (i.e., emotions, moods) in the workplace has received a lot of attention in the last 15 years. Despite the fact that software development has been shown to be intellectual, creative, and driven by cognitive activities, and that affects have a deep influence on cognitive activities, software engineering research lacks an understanding of the affects of software developers. This...
Through the use of semi structured interviews with medical device software organizations it emerged that medica device software organizations are experiencing difficulties when following plan driven Software Development Life Cycles (SDLC) particularly in the area of requirements management. To attemp to resolve these issues an examination of the non-regulated industry was performed to determine if...
There has been a noticeable focus shift from agile methods such as extreme Programming (XP) and Scrum to lean software development in the last several years, which is indicated as âfrom agile to leanâ. However, the reality may not be as simple or linear as the term implies. To provide a better understanding of the combined use of agile and lean approaches in software development, a set of experience...
Trusted computing is an important research field in information security and trust evaluation for trust model is the key issue to be resolved. It is great significance for ensuring security of trust model for trusted computing to analyze normally and verify in design process of application model for trusted computing and analyze its trust in theory. In this paper the problems of security and trust...
A new design proposal of real-time power quality monitoring and analysis platform based on virtual instruments technology is proposed that aims at the key issues that affecting the quality of rural power network. From steady-state to transient-state, this article discusses the typical algorithms of harmonic analysis, voltage deviation and unbalance in three-phase, voltage swells and dips, voltage...
