This Building a metric to quantify software entropy (disorderliness) in terms of measuring control structure to token module cohesion is the goal of this study. Categorized under the field of software engineering and falls under software configuration management which concentrates to tasks of tracking and controlling changes in the software, this research proposes an algorithm that predicts the degree...
Measurement processes, specifically in software engineering, are of great importance to organizations' success. Important data for cost and time estimates only can be obtained by systematic measurement. However, to measurements get good results, it is important collect data from the organization itself. These data should be recorded in a database. In this sense, this paper will present a proposal...
Digital storage oscilloscope (DSO) is, with applied far going, high sampling frequency and measuring accuracy, a common testing instrument in signal acquisition and processing. While many DSOs are used together to measure multi-channels of signals, there exist some problems in synchronous comparing, acquisition, storage and plots of different signals. In order to solve these problems, the features...
A mass balance based model has been derived to represent the dynamical behaviour of two anaerobic digester (one pilot-scale, one industrial-scale). Its parameters have been calibrated for both reactors on the basis of experimental data and following a predefined design of experiments. This mass balance model constitutes the basis for software sensor design that takes advantage of the partial information...
Effective measurement for successful Statistical Process Control (SPC) implementations across any level of Capability Maturity Model (CMM) is not a very straightforward activity. Based on CMM standard, SPC is only applicable to its higher maturity levels so as to tackle quantitative process management issues like out-of-control process and to point out further areas of process improvements. This study...
The Statistical Process Control (SPC) has been adopted by software development organizations to improve process management and assessment. Without appropriate support tools and a process model to guide the organizations during to SPC, such practice is costly, considering the need to collect and analyze information from several process enactments. To aid in the SPC implementation, this paper proposes...
Functional Size Measurement (FSM) has been widely adopted by software organizations over the past years. In particular, Function Point Analysis (FPA) measurement method as the eldest and the most globally FSM method used. In the middle of 90s, COSMIC measurement method was designed to cover the limitations of previous FSM methods, and to size wider scope of application domains. COSMIC measurement...
Software measurement is a key process for software process improvement (SPI). Measurement provides useful information for organizations making decisions that impact their business performance. At high maturity levels, such as CMMI levels 4 and 5, SPI involves carrying out statistical process control (SPC), which requires measures and data suitable for this context. However, measurement problems are...
Abstract-Consistency of COSMIC measurement is the most important prerequisite to meet user's needs. In fact, due to technical and nontechnical reasons, measurement results are difficult to get consistent. Based on researches of COSMIC method and large number of case analysis, this paper proposed three technical factors of consistency: structure, functional process and object of interest. Then put...
Accurate software size measurement is an important factor to assure the success of software projects. COSMIC method is a widely used functional size measurement method. Improving the accuracy of COSMIC measurement concerns three factors: measurers, measurement process and software artifacts. In this paper, we proposed some combined control methods to improve the accuracy of COSMIC measurement. Experiments...
Quantitative management requires an understanding of the nature of variation and its use to improve process performance. Popular process reference models like CMMI embrace quantitative management at high maturity levels. However, even for high maturity levels, the number of available studies on the benefits of applying quantitative techniques is limited. The authors describe a systematic approach...
This study looks at software measurement practices and experiences related to software engineering in Finland. This paper uses the results of an empirical case study to examine how measurement was implemented in practice from the perspective of the software process. The research was motivated by the challenges recognized in the implementation and execution of measurement in software development work...
Software Product Line can be effectively tested with a framework utilization following Experimental Software Engineering concepts. During this research, a description of an Operational Maturity Structure for Software Testing Management was created for the Operational Domain of the Organizational Testing Management Maturity Model (OTM3) framework. The proposed structure addresses both the defects management...
The complexity of Web services composition process is intuitively relevant to the effects such as readability, testability, reliability, and maintainability. Analyzing the complexity at all stages of process design and development helps avoid the drawbacks associated with high-complexity processes. In this paper, we present a control-flow complexity measure of the structured process of Web service...
Organizations define strategies and establish business goals aiming to be competitive. The process performance analysis supports goals monitoring, allowing to detect and to treat threats to goals achievement. In this context, measurement is essential. The collected data for measures are used to analyze the process performance and to guide informed decisions that lead to the achievement of business...
Software measurement is a key process for software process improvement. Measurement provides organizations with the objective information they need to make informed decisions that impact their business performance. Nowadays, there are several process quality models and standards that point out the importance of software measurement, such as CMMI. Unfortunately, the vocabulary used by those models...
Both software organizations and the academic community are aware that the software measurement process is in need of future support. Academic community has a lot of research in the software measurement theory, methods, tools, etc. Software organizations are also implement measurement activity with various ways. However, there is a problem: how about their measurement process in the end? It addresses...
In this paper on the basis of the existing model, Proposed project performance-driven process improvement framework and P-GQM model. The performance of products and process for process fragments are the metrics for the process objectives. It formalizes description of the achievement, goals, problems and the interrelationship between measurements, to measure results more accurately. Comprehensive reflects...
This paper presents a literature survey of action research (AR) studies published in nine major software engineering (SE) journals and three conference proceedings in the period 1993 to June 2009. A strict selection based on distinguishing SE from information systems research has identified 16 papers. Although they represent a very small fraction of the studies being conducted in SE, such papers concern...
Through analyzing basic characters of software process, from three dimensions: software process products, software process actions and software entities, this paper establishes the measurement indicators system of software process quality trustworthiness, and introduces the measurement model of software process trustworthiness. Instances studies show the model can not only evaluate the trustworthy...
