In this key-note presentation I will reflect on GQM, its' starting principles and lessons learned, and will evolve to the relevance in todays' fast moving world and clarify how GQM is there to serve its' purpose. GQM is now more relevant and more suitable than it has ever been.
Many organisations have turned to crowdsource their software development projects. This raises important pricing questions, a problem that has not previously been addressed for the emerging crowdsourcing development paradigm. We address this problem by introducing 16 cost drivers for crowdsourced development activities and evaluate 12 predictive pricing models using 4 popular performance measures...
Software engineering education is aimed at preparing professionals to achieve software quality, manage risk, and deliver projects on time and on budget. This paper reports on the findings of a Delphi study as part of a series of research studies designed to identify the software measurement topics that should be taught in software engineering programs. It also outlines the levels of learning and skills...
The enhancement of the teaching of software measurement in software engineering education must be based on a sound assessment of the impact of previous teaching and the needs in industry. This paper investigates through a survey of software practitioners their opinions about the software measurement knowledge that new software engineers currently bring to their employers' organizations. In addition,...
In mature engineering disciplines and science, mathematics and measurement are considered as important subjects to be taught in university programs. This paper discusses about these subjects in terms of their respective meanings and complementarities. It also presents a discussion regarding their maturity, relevance and innovations in their teaching in engineering programs. This paper pays special...
Risk can conduce to failure of software project, and make a loss for the enterprise. It is a focus topic for software engineering researchers. Developer turnover risk is a great risk at the process of software project, yet, few scholars pay attention to it. We can use information entropy to measure effectively the uniformity of each subsystem. In this paper, we provided a quantitative measure model...
Software testing plays an important role in the life cycle of software development. Because software testing is very costly and tedious, many techniques have been proposed to automate it. One technique that has achieved good results is the use of search algorithms. Because most previous work on search algorithms has been of an empirical nature, there is a need for theoretical results that confirm...
