Enterprise architecture supports a holistic approach used to optimize various activities of a company. Software development companies frequently use a popular agile approach, and the most popular agile methodology is Scrum. A sprint retrospective is a Scrum process which is supposed to enable self-development and improve communication among team members. Unfortunately, the reality is usually different...
Agile software development and formal methods are seemingly on the opposite ends of the rigorousness scale. If carefully used, the can efficiently function in synergy to provide an evolutionary, iterative and tailorable process for a correct-by-construction system. In this work, we present the use of agile and formal methods in the academic context at the project course. We describe the development...
Context: Agile software processes are more frequently being integrated with aspects of human centered design given the commonalities that the two approaches share, such as user involvement, importance attributed to testing and prototyping practices, iterative design and so on. Goal: tailor a SCRUM-based process by integrating it and adapting it with Human Centered Design (HCD) practices. Method: action...
Good quality requirements help you to make the right architectural decisionsbut collecting your requirements is not always easy. The Quality AttributeWorkshop (QAW) helps teams effectively gather requirements but can be costlyand cumbersome to organize. The mini-QAW is a short (a few hours to a full day)workshop designed for inexperienced facilitators and a great fit for teamspracticing Agile methods...
Software architecture has many definitions. One widely accepted definition of software architecture is that it is a composition of a set of architectural design decisions. Hence, designing a software architecture is a decision-making process. Agile methods drastically changed the way of designing a software architecture. In projects using agile methods (e.g. Scrum), making architectural design decisions...
In this paper, we attempt to understand what contributes to a successful process for managing legacy system evolution. We provide an analysis of a number of key performance indicators such as cost, duration, and defects. By normalizing through function points, we furthermore compare to a larger benchmark. To do so we performed a mixed, retrospective case study on a series of nine software releases...
Considering the growing utilization of agile methodologies in software development, the tasks execution ends, sometimes, not being efficient. It might consider that, in concern of agile development in small and middle companies, this inefficiency may exists for teams witch the planning sprint development walks side by side with the maintenance of productions software. Therefore, it's notable the propensity...
