In the information and network age, e-commerce is an important system for business transaction behavior. However, the network intrusion, malicious users, virus attack and system security vulnerabilities have continued to threaten the operation of the e-commerce, making e-commerce security encounter serious test. How to improve e-commerce security has become a topic worthy of further exploration. Combining...
Software Development Lifecycle is crucial in Desktop or web application development. Mobile applications are being developed for deployment in smart phones. Looking at the rising need of mobile applications and the associated development complexity, it is imperative to have a dedicated framework lifecycle for mobile application — Mobile Application Development Lifecycle (MADLC). The proposed lifecycle...
Large legacy applications are rapidly becoming less practical for both the organizations they service, and for the organizations responsible for servicing them. This paper establishes a process model for refining the initial concept associated with overhauling legacy enterprise software applications, and examines a case study of that process as applied to a real-world legacy software system to demonstrate...
Along with the change of troop's assignment and the mode of missile equipments' application, the work of deployed equipment's logistics support has changed a lot. Supportability demonstration also becomes an important job in the course of the missile equipments' developing, manufacture and deployment, and it has become the foundation of the missile materiel's research about Integrated Logistics Support...
Building large software systems is difficult. Maintaining large systems is equally hard. Making post-release changes requires not only thorough understanding of the architecture of a software component about to be changed but also its dependencies and interactions with other components in the system. Testing such changes in reasonable time and at a reasonable cost is a difficult problem as infinitely...
IT service providers have limited resources to test bug fixes and new features required by IT services and the IT infrastructure. This challenge has led us to examine the research problem: How IT service provider organization can improve a testing during maintenance process? The main contribution of this study is to present a list of challenges and working practices related to the testing during maintenance...
SmartOrder introduces a new method in the ordering and paying processes for small and large scale businesses through consortium concept which employ integrated online information system toward improving business practices and efficient records management. It applies e-commerce as the business solution in processes of selling and buying product, service besides sharing business information via online...
This paper focuses on activities and methodologies for information systems (IS) development projects in China. It examines key issues affecting IS development activities and investigates possible differences in practices and experiences that may result from the adoption of formal development methodologies. A survey of 73 senior information technology (IT) professionals helped identify the lack of...
Since manual black-box testing of GUI-based APplications (GAPs) is tedious and laborious, test engineers create test scripts to automate the testing process. These test scripts interact with GAPs by performing actions on their GUI objects. As GAPs evolve, testers should fix their corresponding test scripts so that they can reuse them to test successive releases of GAPs. Currently, there are two main...
Software product line concept has been a key area of concern due to its impacts on reducing the costs and increasing the productivity by means of reuse maximization. The literature has a plethora of success stories about the software product lines. On the other hand, success in product line development requires specific techniques and methodologies at every step of the software development process...
NASA's vision for space exploration requires the development of several new rocket propulsion test articles such as the J-2X engine and the Orion propulsion. Enhanced testing capabilities are needed to properly address the feasibility, performance and lifetime aspects of new rocket propulsion technologies. The aerospace corporation performed a study to evaluate options for NASA's existing and proposed...
This paper discusses the requirements of remote testing and maintenance for EPON. Based on the detailed analysis of related parts in IEEE 802.3-2005, the paper introduces a solution of remote testing and maintenance. The extended protocol of OAM sublayer is proposed to meet the needs of maintenance and testing.
In a competitive business landscape, large organizations such as insurance companies and banks are under high pressure to innovate, improvise and distinguish their products and services while continuing to reduce the time-to market for new product introductions. Generating a single view of the customer is vital from different perspectives of the systems developer over a period of time because of the...
FSP (foundation software platform) is the shoring of foundation for application system. The integration testing is the important method to ensure the quality of FSP. The integration testing of FSP would involve not only foundation software vendors, such as the vendor of operating system, the vendors of database management system and the vendors of middleware etc.; but also the users of FSP, such as...
As most software continually evolves and changes during development and maintenance, it is necessary to test new and modified parts and retest existing parts that might have been affected by the changes. This activity is called regression testing and can account for a large percentage of the overall cost of software development. For this reason, much research has been (and is still being) performed...
Port state control (PSC) inspection is the most important mechanism to ensure world marine safe. Recently, some SVM-based risk assessment systems have been presented in the world. They estimate the risk of each candidate ship based on its generic factors and history inspection factors to select high-risk one before conducting on-board PSC inspection. However, how to improve the performance of the...
The net generation of students have characteristics which make them well-suited for participating in open source projects including being comfortable with information technologies, using IT as a form of communication, desiring to work in groups, a desire to do social good, and being fascinated by new technologies. The nature of open source projects where communities of developers from around the world...
An organizational level test strategy needs to incorporate metrics to make the testing activities visible and available to process improvements. The majority of testing measurements that are done are based on faults found in the test execution phase. In contrast, this paper investigates metrics to support software test planning and test design processes. We have assembled metrics in these two process...
Management of testing provides high level control on testing and monitoring of testing provides both high level and detailed insight in the testing activities. The combination of management and monitoring gives a strong grip on test processes and test projects. This is required to manage risk, to increase efficiency and to provide transparency into development and test processes for various stakeholders...
The Computer Science Department at the University of Montana consistently provides a realistic commercial software development and/or maintenance experience for both undergraduate and graduate students. Through the undergraduate capstone sequence and the graduate level two semester sequence in software engineering students learn and apply software engineering techniques. However, they face unexpected...
