Full textAbstract:
In the article topical issues of quality assurance of software complexes (PCs) are considered. The special role in the organization of the processes of PC development of information services is emphasized, the implementation of which is carried out with the help of appropriate information resources, including a set of knowledge, data, artificial intelligence systems, analysis and information processing systems that serve as the basis for PC production. It is shown that the successful implementation of design work should be systematically implemented on the basis of appropriate information support, which is based on a variety of information products. Particular attention is paid to the analysis of risks arising during the development and operation of the PC. The novelty of the conducted research consists in the complex consideration of the tasks of increasing the reliability of the PC and minimizing the risks on the basis of using the methods of automated testing of software products. It is shown that the application of PC testing methods provides an increase in the reliability of design solutions and the effectiveness of practical implementation of developments.

Highly reliable software is becoming an essential ingredient in many systems. However, assuring reliability often entails time-consuming costly development processes. One cost-effective strategy is to target reliability-enhancement activities to those modules that are likely to have the most problems. Software quality prediction models can predict the number of faults expected in each module early enough for reliability enhancement to be effective. This paper introduces a case-based reasoning technique for the prediction of software quality factors. Case-based reasoning is a technique that seeks to answer new problems by identifying similar "cases" from the past. A case-based reasoning system can function as a software quality prediction model. To our knowledge, this study is the first to use case-based reasoning systems for predicting quantitative measures of software quality. A case study applied case-based reasoning to software quality modeling of a family of full-scale industrial software systems. The case-based reasoning system's accuracy was much better than a corresponding multiple linear regression model in predicting the number of design faults. When predicting faults in code, its accuracy was significantly better than a corresponding multiple linear regression model for two of three test data sets and statistically equivalent for the third.

ABSTRACT Since 1982, the software development community has been concerned with the delivery of quality systems. Software process improvement (SPI) is an initiative to avoid the delivery of low quality systems. However, the awareness and adoption of SPI is low. Thus, this study examines the rate of awareness, use, and benefits of SPI initiatives in Canadian software development firms. Using SPSS as the analytical tool, this study found that 59% of Canadian software development firms are aware of SPI programs and 43% of employees use a form of SPI programs to develop software products. Although the sample size is small and the results cannot be generalized, the sample firms that use SPI programs reported an improvement in software product quality as the greatest benefit. These findings confirm the importance of SPI programs as a means of producing higher-quality software products, which can increase the likelihood of software companies winning global contracts.

Full textAbstract:
Different software product quality models interpret different amounts of information, i.e., they can capture and address different manifestations of software quality. This characteristic can cause misleading statements and misunderstandings while explaining or comparing the results of software product quality assessments. A total of 23 previously identified distinct software product quality models are analysed on how they handle the abstract notion of quality, and a taxonomy on the quality manifestations that the individual software product quality models are able to capture is established. Quality models that are able to solely describe the quality manifestation of the source code are attractive due to their full automation potential through static code analysers, but their assessment results ignore a huge part of software product quality, which is the one that most impresses the end user. The manifestations of software product quality that address the behaviour of the software while it operates, or the perception of the end user with regard to the software in use, require human involvement in the quality assessment. The taxonomy contributes to interpreting the quality assessment results of different quality models by showing the possible quality manifestations that can be captured by the identified models; moreover, the taxonomy also provides assistance while selecting a quality model for a given project. The quality manifestations used for the quality measurement always need to be presented, otherwise the quality assessment results cannot be interpreted in an appropriate manner.

Full textAbstract:
The subject of the research is the process of developing automated control systems software. The object of the research is the quality control system of this process. The regulatory documents establish a list of the main characteristics of program quality assessment, which, as practice has shown, does not fully meet its purpose, providing not quality control, but verification of the compliance of programs with the customer's requirements formulated in the terms of reference. One of the reasons for this lies in the impossibility of evaluating exclusively quantitative indicators of the quality of systems, including both technical means and a person. An attempt to use world practice, for example, relatively successful quality models from the ISO / IEC 25000: 2014 standards have not yet been implemented: the model itself is allowed to be used by regulatory documents (GOST R ISO / IEC 25010-2015), but the quality indicators described in it are not accepted. Private improvements to existing methods do not solve the problem systematically. The article uses general scientific methods of analysis and synthesis. Based on the analysis of existing approaches to assessing the quality of software development, proposals for improving this process are synthesized.The article formulates a scientific and practical problem and offers one of the approaches to its solution, based on the refinement of existing methods for assessing quality based on the model described in GOST R ISO / IEC 25010, taking into account the real needs of users, interpreted through reducing the likelihood of errors of the first and second kind arising from the use of software. The solution of the formulated problem will provide a general increase in the efficiency of automated control through the use of quantitative and qualitative assessments of the software being developed.

Full textAbstract:
Reliable software is mandatory for complex mission-critical systems. Classifying modules as fault-prone, or not, is a valuable technique for guiding development processes, so that resources can be focused on those parts of a system that are most likely to have faults. Logistic regression offers advantages over other classification modeling techniques, such as interpretable coefficients. There are few prior applications of logistic regression to software quality models in the literature, and none that we know of account for prior probabilities and costs of misclassification. A contribution of this paper is the application of prior probabilities and costs of misclassification to a logistic regression-based classification rule for a software quality model. This paper also contributes an integrated method for using logistic regression in software quality modeling, including examples of how to interpret coefficients, how to use prior probabilities, and how to use costs of misclassifications. A case study of a major subsystem of a military, real-time system illustrates the techniques.

Full textAbstract:
A management discipline of software metrics facilitates their consistent measurement and usage during the life cycle of software systems, by maintaining knowledge and data related to their evaluation tasks and application domain knowledge. To investigate environment of the management discipline, we represent software engineering environments by an activity flow model and a micro cycle model. A unified management view of software metrics is established by their collectivity and comprehensiveness in two-dimensional flows of the activity flow model. Then, we propose the Software Quality Manager (SQM) as a realization of the management discipline of software metrics. The proposed software quality manager makes use of two knowledge bases: (1) knowledge about application domain in the form of reusable software components and (2) knowledge about software engineering. The three-stage architecture and preparation process of the proposed system are also presented. Finally, we propose how to support the measurement and analysis task for database management systems within the context of the software quality manager.

Full textAbstract:
This paper discusses a decision-making problem related to software creation through Commercial-off-the-shelf (COTS) modules. When different alternatives of the same module are available with variations in the attributes of quality (like reliability, execution time, etc.) and cost, the problem is to select appropriate alternatives and integrate them into a software such that the objectives of the software developer (with respect to the attributes of quality) are satisfied. This calls for the use of multiple criteria decision-making techniques. The possible inconsistency between the objectives calls for prioritization of the objectives. Hence goal-programming (GP) approach is used to formulate the problem. We present a Branch and Bound (B&B) algorithm to solve this problem.

Full textAbstract:
The cost of software maintenance is always increasing. The companies are often confronted to failures and software errors. The quality of software to use is so required. In this paper, the authors propose a new formal approach for assessing the quality of object-oriented system design according to the quality assessment model. This approach consists in modeling the input software system by an automaton based on object-oriented design metrics and their relationship with the quality attributes. The model exhibits the importance of metrics through their links with the attributes of software quality. In addition, it is very practical and flexible for all changes. It allows the quality estimation and its validation. For the verification of proposed probabilistic model (automaton), they use the model-checking and the prism tool. The model-checking is very interesting for the evaluation and validation of the probabilistic automaton. They use it to approve the software quality of the three experimental projects. The obtained results are very interesting and of great importance.

One of the quantifiable credits of software quality is reliability.Programmable/ Software Reliability Growth Model (SRGM) can be used for continuous quality during difficult times. In all conditions where test work fluctuates over time, the customary time-sensitive SRGM may not be clear enough. In order to close this gap, testing work was used instead of time in SRGM. It may be unwise to put forward a restricted test pressure limit in advance because the test work will be endless within the incomprehensible test time. Later in this article, we propose a permanent test stress service related to the old inhomogeneous Poisson process model (NHPP). We use an artificial neural network (ANN) to configure the proposed model, which contains frustration data from the software. Here, it is reasonable to obtain a huge load of game plans for the comparison model, which represents past disappointment data in a comparable way. We use artificial intelligence methods to select game plans with reasonable load for the model to describe the past and future data well. We use a reasonable software disappointment data set to decompose the presentation of the proposed model from the current model. Use the artificial neural network method to design the general Direct Software Reliability Growth Model (SRGM) through test work.: The true quality software is shown by current research mainly focuses on the best method of general guessing modeling.

Full textAbstract:
Open source software (OSS) has recently become very important due to the rapid expansion of the software industry. In order to determine whether the quality of the software can achieve the intended purposes, the components of OSS need to be assessed as they are in closed source (conventional) software. Several quality in-use models have been introduced to evaluate software quality in various fields. The banking sector is one of the most critical sectors, as it deals with highly sensitive data; it therefore requires an accurate and effective assessment of software quality. In this article, two pieces of banking software are compared: one open source and one closed source. A new quality in use model, inspired by ISO/IEC 25010, is used to ensure concise results in the comparison. The results obtained show the great potential of OSS, especially in the banking field.

The purpose of the study, the materials of which are outlined in this article, is to uncover current trends in the development of environmental monitoring and the tracking of anthropogenic environmental impacts. To achieve this goal, it is proposed to use geoinformation systems to perform environmental monitoring and control, using appropriate software. For this purpose ArcGis software was used which allows monitoring the state of the atmosphere, its pollution and other deviations from the norm. The research was conducted exemplified by nine districts of Kharkiv. As a result of computer geospatial analysis, models and maps of urban pollution have been developed. In general, the intellectual analysis of geostatic models of emission distribution in the city allowed identifying and classifying zones of high concentrations of pollution and comparing them with air quality data. Methods of geostatistics transformed the data from a discrete to a continuous form of representation. Further studies in this area may be related to the improvement of geostatistical data analysis and pollution distribution prediction methods. As an example, mathematical formulas were presented to determine the atmospheric pollution index and the true or predicted pollution index, which can be determined on the basis of the data obtained and represented by elements of the ArcGis software package in a discrete and continuous form.

Software systems can be modeled as complex networks in which software components are abstract nodes and their interactions are abstract edges. This paper attempts to characterize the structural quality of complex software networks. We propose to use a novel statistical measure, called average propagation ratio, to characterize the structural quality of general complex software networks, such as software adaptivity and maintainability. Several real-world complex software networks are analyzed in some depth to demonstrate the application of average propagation ratios. Furthermore, we investigate the key factors that determine the average propagation ratios of general complex software networks, resulting in a set of guiding principles that can be used in practical network design for improving the structural quality of complex software systems.

Abstract Producers of large government-sponsored surveys regularly use Computer-Assisted Interviewing (CAI) software to design data collection instruments, monitor fieldwork operations, and evaluate data quality. When used in conjunction with responsive survey designs, last-minute modifications to problems in the field are quickly addressed. Complementing this strategy, but little discussed, is the need to implement similar changes in the post data collection stage of the survey data life cycle. We describe a continuous data processing system where completed interviews are carefully examined as soon as they are collected; editing, recode, and imputation programs are applied using CAI tools; and the results are reviewed to correct problematic cases. The goal: provide higher quality data and shorten the time between the conclusion of data collection and the appearance of public use data files.

Full textAbstract:
A quality system for production software should be part of the quality management system of an organization and can be expressed as objectives in the form of processes, procedures, tools and responsibilities, designed and developed to fulfil the quality requirements. These usually are addressing the customers (external or internal), compliance with standards (effectiveness) waste reduction and better use of resources (efficiency) for continual improvement. Such systems are designed according to the requirements of the standards for quality management, software engineering and information security. Quality systems themselves could not provide all necessary means for driving the organization to the quality and excellence of a product. Still there are some gaps in the processes which are not covered by too generic standards and it is the organizational ability to cover the gaps in an appropriate way. The aim of this paper is to examine the effectiveness of our proposed conceptual QSPS model to reduce the gaps in the processes of an organization by enhancing the quality of production software. In order to achieve that goal, a mathematical representation of QSPS has been derived and an evaluation has been realized among different software quality methods. The reliability and validity of the QSPS has been examined through the practical application to the automotive industry considering the elements like: (i) Planning, time and cost evaluation (ii) Software requirements (management, risk, quality and security) (iii) Validation and verification of the implemented software before release (iv) Internal release of the software (v) Client release of the software (vi) Functional monitoring after release in the production and continuous improvement process (vii) Customer satisfaction. The results of mathematical simulation and practical application revealed that the proposed QSPS model showed superior phenomena compared with other known software quality methods and also expressed significant advantages, while using it on the production software. So, an effective application of QSPS would result in the smooth running of the production software to get a high quality product according to customer and standard requirements.

Unanticipated Software Evolution (USE) techniques enable developers to easily change any element of the software without being obligated to anticipate and isolate extension points. However, we have not found empirical validations of the impact of USE on development cost and quality. In this work, we design and execute an experiment for USE, in order to compare its resulting metrics — time, lines of code, test coverage and complexity — using OO systems as baseline. 30 undergraduate students were subjects in this experiment. The results suggest that USE has significant impact on the lines of code and complexity metrics, reducing the amount of lines changed and the McCabe cyclomatic complexity on software evolution.

Full textAbstract:
Air quality is a critical matter of concern in terms of the impact on public health and well-being. Although the consequences of poor air quality are more severe in developing countries, they also have a critical impact in developed countries. Healthcare costs due to air pollution reach $150 billion in the USA, whereas particulate matter causes 412,000 premature deaths in Europe, every year. According to the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), indoor air pollutant levels can be up to 100 times higher in comparison to outdoor air quality. Indoor air quality (IAQ) is in the top five environmental risks to global health and well-being. The research community explored the scope of artificial intelligence (AI) in the past years to deal with this problem. The IAQ prediction systems contribute to smart environments where advanced sensing technologies can create healthy living conditions for building occupants. This paper reviews the applications and potential of AI for the prediction of IAQ to enhance building environment and public health. The results show that most of the studies analyzed incorporate neural networks-based models and the preferred evaluation metrics are RMSE, R 2 score and error rate. Furthermore, 66.6% of the studies include CO2 sensors for IAQ assessment. Temperature and humidity parameters are also included in 90.47% and 85.71% of the proposed methods, respectively. This study also presents some limitations of the current research activities associated with the evaluation of the impact of different pollutants based on different geographical conditions and living environments. Moreover, the use of reliable and calibrated sensor networks for real-time data collection is also a significant challenge.

Quality, architecture, and process are considered the keystones of software engineering. ISO defines them in three separate standards. However, their interaction has been scarcely studied, so far. The SQuAP model (Software Quality, Architecture, Process) describes twenty-eight main factors that impact on software quality in banking systems, and each factor is described as a relation among some characteristics from the three ISO standards. Hence, SQuAP makes such relations emerge rigorously, although informally. In this paper, we present SQuAP-Ont, an OWL ontology designed by following a well-established methodology based on the re-use of Ontology Design Patterns (i.e. ODPs). SQuAP-Ont formalises the relations emerging from SQuAP to represent and reason via Linked Data about software engineering in a three-dimensional model consisting of quality, architecture, and process ISO characteristics.

Software usability is one of the important issues of human computer interaction. It is a critical quality factor that controls the quality and the performance of any interactive software. This study aims to investigate the impact of usability attributes on end-user's acceptance of enterprise resource planning by extending the technology acceptance model to include five usability attributes, namely: task support, presentation, navigation, learnability and memorability. At the time of writing this article, to the best-known knowledge, there have been no studies in Jordan that have investigated the impact of software usability on the end users' continuous intention to use an enterprise resource planning system. The proposed research model is validated by conducting a survey from Dawacom Pharmacies based in Amman, Jordan. The results show that nine out of eleven hypotheses are significant. The findings indicate that all attributes have a significant impact on user acceptance. Except, the task support does not have a significant effect on perceived usefulness and perceived ease of use.

The success of any software product line development project is closely tied to its domain variability management. Whereas a lot of effort has been put into functional variability management by the SPL community, non-functional variability is considered implicit. The result has been dissatisfaction among clients due to resultant poor quality systems. This work presents an integrated requirement specification template for quality and functional requirements at software product line variation points. The implementation of this approach at the analytical description phase increases the visibility of quality requirements obliging developers to implement them. The approach proposes the use of decision tree classification techniques to support the weaving of functional quality attributes at respective variation points. This work, therefore, promotes software product line variability management objectives by proposing new functional quality artifacts during requirements specification phase. The approach is illustrated with an exemplar mobile phone family data storage requirements case study.

The article is devoted to the problem of teaching students whose future profession is associated with management. Since the beginning of the 2000s, there has been a steady increase in the interest of managers in ERP-systems, allowing complex automation of the activities of all departments of the enterprise. In the same period, the demand for specialists with the skills to work with modern ERP systems, such as SAP, “1C:ERP 2”, “Galactica”, etc., also increases. Despite the fact that the problem of training specialists in this field for the last 10 years has been paid close attention, and in scientific publications there are new articles on the issues of training, able to work professionally with ERP-systems, currently there is no well-formed approach to this problem. The author of the article shares his experience of training students in the areas of “State and municipal management” and “Management” to work with the system “1C:ERP 2” and offers a number of recommendations for quality training of students. The process of training students becomes more effective if, before studying the ERP-system, they are given the opportunity to work in one of the programs “1C:Accounting public institution” or “1C:Enterprise Accounting 8” to acquire initial skills in working with “1C” software products. In the research process, the method of economic analysis and a systematic approach were used. The scientific and practical significance of the research results is in the development of guidelines for the quality training of future leaders in order to form competencies that allow university graduates to professionally solve problems related to management issues using IT. The article can be useful for teachers engaged in teaching students modern information technologies.

This article examines the literature on case studies of knowledge management systems in use in organisations that develop software. We investigate knowledge management approaches in eight case studies, and what the reported benefits are. Surprisingly, very few organisations claim to have lowered software production costs or increased the quality of the software. But many claim to have improved the work situation for software developers and managers.

Full textAbstract:
As the use of software intensive systems increase in our daily lives, the systems are getting larger and larger every day. A significant portion of these software systems in use are medium to large in size and complexity. Most of them are also becoming a part of a system of systems. In addition to satisfying of a set of functional requirements, the users expect a certain level of quality in these systems. Quality requirements are also referred as nonfunctional requirements. Adequate satisfaction of quality requirements can be achieved via a careful software architecture design. Since the quality requirements are multi-faceted, the software architects have to consider many diverse aspects and provide a software architecture solution that can optimally satisfy both functional and nonfunctional requirements. Therefore, such a solution requires a multi-view software architecture design as the result of a careful systematic system development effort. Research reports with detailed case studies are helpful in bridging the gap between academia and industry. Research studies including a carefully designed real-world sample case studies will help practitioners and engineers to understand the theoretical concepts and apply the novel research findings in their practices. Therefore, in this study, we explain the systematic multi-view software architecture design with the help of a detailed mission-critical defense system development case study. The mission critical system in the case study is a Mine Neutralization System for navy mine hunting ships. In the study, we explain the multi-view software system architecture design step by step starting with identifying the system context, requirements, constraints, and quality expectations. We further outline the strategies, techniques, designs, and rationales used to satisfy a diverse set of requirements with a particular software architecture pattern. In addition, we introduce a novel architectural style named as a star-controller architectural style. We explain the use of the style with a related discussion.

Full textAbstract:
The search for information is one of the main components of human activity. The ideal information retrieval system should issue only documents that are relevant to the request. Today, real information retrieval systems provide a completeness factor of 70%, and a search accuracy factor – at a level sometimes even 10%. Thus, the well-known information retrieval systems are currently unable to meet the modern needs of users. The global trend in the processing of large arrays of information, which allows you to solve new classes of problems based on available information resources, is the intellectualization of information and data processing. As a standard of knowledge engineering in the development of information retrieval systems, it is worthwhile to use ontologies that are widely used in the work of search engines and information retrieval systems, as ontologies are an effective tool for organizing a semantic search. The use of ontologies as part of information retrieval systems helps to solve a number of methodological and technological problems that arise during the development of such systems. Given the fact that software is the basis of all modern areas of business, and achieving high values of its quality is a key factor in ensuring the effective use of software and one of the main requirements of users and stakeholders for modern software, the purpose of this study is to develop an effective information retrieval system (based on ontologies) for the software quality industry. The paper proposes the concept of information retrieval system (based on ontologies) for the field of software quality, in particular, the ontology of the subject area of software quality is developed, which reflects the semantic relationships between the concepts of the subject area and will form the basis of a search of information about software quality, in particular, the basis of the thesaurus of the future information retrieval system.

Full textAbstract:
There has been a lack of attention to the subject of risk management in the design and operation of software. This is strange because the risk to reliability is a critical problem in attempts to achieve a safe operation of the software. To address this problem, we evaluate existing models and introduce a new model for software risk prediction. The new model — cumulative failures gradient function — is based on the principles of neural networks. This metric identifiers the minimum test time required to achieve maximum improvement in software quality. We used three NASA Space Shuttle software systems in the evaluation of both existing and new models. The results showed that it was not possible to consistently rank these systems because the validity of the risk predictions varied depending on the risk model that was used. Therefore, the results suggest that it is advisable to use a variety of models to comprehensively evaluate the software risk.

Full textAbstract:
The fundamental rationale for the increase in the use of CASE tools by both large and medium enterprises is the belief that CASE tools facilitate and enhance improved productivity and system quality. The development of CASE environments has evolved over several years. Users are demanding high-level, domain-specific interfaces to applications, easy-to-use systems, systems that offer increases in productivity/cost ratios, flexibility in multiparadigm tools usage, and systems which are modular, portable, and robust. To meet such far ranging needs, software engineering research has become a large-scale endeavor. Thus, CASE development has become the concerted effort of academia, government, and industry. In this paper, the academic research effort on CASE development is discussed. Specifically, the perspective of the paper is on the effect that Undergraduate Software Engineering (USE) education has had and can have on the ability to develop timely and quality software tools. The focus of the paper is dichotomized as follows: (1) the impact of USE education on current techniques for developing CASE tools and a measurement of current CASE technology transfer and (2) the qualitative component(s) of USE education which will help in advancing tools development in the next decade.

Full textAbstract:
Monitoring the performance and capabilities of energy dispersive X-ray spectrometers (EDS) and related x-ray analysis electronics and software is important for maintaining and improving the reliability, sensitivity, and accuracy of the x-ray analysis system. There is growing demand for quality systems through laboratory accreditation, ISO 9000, ISO Guide 25 and related programs that require set quality control procedures for analytical instrumentation. In such cases it is frequently more useful to have one national/international standard. This approach is not only more efficient than having each analyst devise their own system, but the use of the same standard procedures among labs would allow direct intercomparison of results. This intercomparison can help labs and manufacturers determine what are normal versus abnormal results and lead to higher quality instruments and analyses.We are designing a standard procedure to maximize the efficiency of each quality control (QC) measurement so that we spend as little time monitoring the analysis system as is possible.

Purpose – Savings and Credit Cooperatives (SACCOs) in developing countries require core banking Management Information Systems (MISs) to run their business, serve their clients and provide differentiated products and services to gain competitive advantage. Considering that SACCOs in Kenya lack the necessary resources to acquire the best information systems, the purpose of this paper is to evaluate MISs currently in use in the SACCO subsector to determine how well they are serving. Design/methodology/approach – Using the ISO/IEC 25010 Software Product Quality Model, the quality of MISs operated by 215 Deposit-Taking SACCOs in the Kenya was evaluated to determine their level of performance. Findings – The results indicated that the MISs currently in use by the SACCOs serve them well in terms of functionality, efficiency, reliability, ease of use and portability. However, vendor support, technical training and implementation process are a big concern to the SACCOs. Practical implications – The SACCOs in Kenya need not look for other MISs as the ones in use satisfied the condition required by the ISO/IEC 25010 Software Product Quality Model. The areas that require attention are vendor support services by entering into contracts technical training and service level agreement; and good project management in software implementation. Originality/value – The research addresses itself to one of the biggest setbacks faced by a fast growing subsector in adopting ICT with limited capacity and infrastructure.

Free software enables its free use by anyone under observance of user proprietary rights. The authors review the market of free computerized library information systems. The origins for applying free ALIS are specified; free Evergreen и Koha ALIS are characterized and compared; the list of foreign free ALIS, date and state of development are specified. The methodology for ALIS market estimation is suggested; the role of ALIS developing and related communities is emphasized. The library and designer aspects of ALIS development are described. The new phenomenon of «donation culture» emerged due to implementing free software in libraries. The typical copyright conflict around Koha ALIS between proprietors and independent designers (the latter won with establishing community trust) is described. Using free ALIS follows the general trend of applying free software in public offices, with all advantages and disadvantages of this information infrastructure. As a result, free software is often opposed by the proprietary one, however both components make the competitive market offering users to make choice of ALIS of appropriate price/quality balance.

Full textAbstract:
In the midst of an increasingly competitive software industry, very small entities (VSEs) have inevitably faced many challenges. High user expectations, frequent changes of user requirements, and the need for rapid deployment are classic examples of these challenges. Many software companies attempt to implement measures for preventing or solving the aforementioned problems. The use of agile methodologies and the implementation of software development standards are usually perceived to be promising solutions to improve the quality of the software development process. Nevertheless, there are several strong incompatibilities between standards and the Agile approach to software development. For example, the need identified in the standards to create many quality artifacts does not conform to agility philosophies. Since Agile focuses on the working software over the documentation, the use of the Agile with standards can be difficult to implement. Additionally, there has been none guidelines for VSE therefore, an external consultant is usually required. This research analyzes various cases of implementing ISO/IEC29110, a software development standard developed especially for VSEs in Scrum environments. The results of this study provide an Eclipse Process Framework (EPF) for effectively and conveniently implementing this standard in Scrum software development.

Full textAbstract:
The population is getting old, and the use of technology has improved the quality of life of the senior population. This is confirmed by the increasing number of solutions targeting healthy and active ageing. Such solutions keep track of the daily routine of the elderly and combine it with other relevant information (e.g., biosignals, physical activity, social activity, nutrition) to help identify early signs of decline. Caregivers and elders use this information to improve their routine, focusing on improving the current condition. With that in mind, we have developed a software platform to support My-AHA, which is composed of a multi-platform middleware, a decision support system (DSS), and a dashboard. The middleware seamlessly merges data coming from multiple platforms targeting health and active ageing, the DSS performs an intelligent computation on top of the collected data, and the dashboard provides a user’s interaction with the whole system. To show the potential of the proposed My-AHA software platform, we introduce the My Personal Dashboard web-based application over a frailty use case to illustrate how senior well-being can benefit from the use of technology.

Full textAbstract:
An increase in the degree of intellectualization of tasks requires the creation of methodology for improving the quality of intelligent decision-making systems. The possibility of automating decision-making in poorly formalized areas through the using of the expert knowledge leads to increasing of the number of errors in the software, and as a consequence to increasing of the number of various sources of failures.The article provides a detailed overview of existing methods and technologies for quality assurance of intelligent decision systems. The first part of the article describes the methodology for ensuring the quality of the intelligent systems (IS), based on the GOST/ ISO standards, where it is proposed to use a multilevel model to describe the quality of the IS software. It is shown that to ensure the required level of quality, an action plan can be formed and the use of a system dynamics model for the implementation of an action plan for ensuring the quality of IS is described. A comparative analysis of the complex criteria of quality and reliability is given. In the second part, the quality of knowledge base (KB) as a special element of the IS software is described, a comparative analysis of methods for static and dynamic analysis of knowledge bases is considered. An overview of research results in the classification of errors in the knowledge bases and their debugging is given. Special attention is given to the "forgetting about exception" type of errors. The concept of a statically correct knowledge base at the level of the knowledge structure is described and it is shown that statically correct knowledge bases can nevertheless give errors due to errors in the rules themselves because of the inconsistency of the field of studies. Neural network knowledge bases are allocated in a separate class, for neural networks methods of debugging are described.

Full textAbstract:
Purpose As technology integration in auditing continues to grow, it is important to understand how auditors perceive connections between use of generalized audit software (GAS) and audit benefits. Design/methodology/approach The DeLone and McLean information systems success model (2003) is adapted with audit-related uses of GAS as antecedents to information quality. Survey data on 188 current users of GAS, who are financial and IT auditors, is analyzed with partial least squares method. Findings For financial auditors, detecting material misstatements antecedent is the only significant indicator of information quality for GAS. For IT auditors, detecting control deficiencies and fraud significantly impacts information quality. Information quality influences use for both auditors; however, it only influences satisfaction with GAS for financial auditors. System quality impacts GAS satisfaction for only IT auditors and has no impact on GAS use for either type of auditor. Service quality influences use of GAS for financial, but not IT auditors. For both groups, service quality has no impact on satisfaction with GAS, and GAS use and satisfaction with GAS positively increases their perceptions of audit benefits. Originality/value Financial and IT auditors who use GAS are both focused on matching GAS use with their primary audit objectives. Results suggest that as GAS use increases, system quality may be important to satisfaction. Training should first focus on the usefulness of GAS to the audit to increase extent of use. Lastly, the more auditors use GAS and are satisfied with it, the greater their perception GAS contributing directly to benefit the audit.

Full textAbstract:
Mobile healthcare systems are currently considered as key research areas in the domain of software engineering. The adoption of modern technologies, for mobile healthcare systems, is a quick option for industry professionals. Software architecture is a key feature that contributes towards a software product, solution, or services. Software architecture helps in better communication, documentation of design decisions, risks identification, basis for reusability, scalability, scheduling, and reduced maintenance cost and lastly it helps to avoid software failures. Hence, in order to solve the abovementioned issues in mobile healthcare, the software architecture is integrated with personal software process. Personal software process has been applied successfully but it is unable to address the issues related to architectural design and evaluation capabilities. Hence, a new technique architecture augmented personal process is presented in order to enhance the quality of the mobile healthcare systems through the use of architectural design with integration of personal software process. The proposed process was validated by case studies. It was found that the proposed process helped in reducing the overall costs and effort. Moreover, an improved architectural design helped in development of high quality mobile healthcare system.

In every one of these attempts we have resorted to information technology. More particularly we have used authoring toolkits in order to ‘feed’ computers with our teaching methods adapted to the students′ needs. We have fried to keep a critical eye on our practice, which has enabled us to find answers with a limited scope even though we hope they might be of interest as a starting point for new reflections. The software we have developed represents those answers.

The development of information systems continues to be a difficult process that frequently ends in failing to meet the projects goals. The processes involved in developing information systems are now compounded by the use of virtual teams. The goal of this study was to determine whether technical proficiencies, project skills in using database development software and technical skills in using the virtual environment, contributed to higher quality projects. The study attempted to address two hypotheses: 1) that increased proficiency in projects skills (Database Software skills) will contribute to greater project quality and 2) that increased proficiency within the virtual environment will contribute to greater project quality. Findings suggest that technical proficiencies in projects skills do contribute to greater project quality however the technical proficiency in the use of virtual environments does not. The relationship between proficiency in project skills and the quality of project outcomes is weak; suggesting that other variables not investigated in this study may exert a more powerful influence on project outcomes.

In this paper, we present an experimental study conducted with students, characterized as experienced and unexperienced designers, in order to investigate how is USINN adopted and evaluated by designers with different levels of experience in the software industry. The results indicated that the quality of artifacts produced by experienced and unexperienced designers was similar. However, the unexperienced designers indicated higher intention to adopt USINN in the software industry.

The modern learning process is impossible without the use of the latest information and communication technologies. The integration of modern educational and information technologies is becoming an important condition for improving the learning process. From the perspective of training psychology, the use of modern technologies such as Drag-and-drop technology enhances students' work efficiency by reducing the iterative steps of the same type and focusing precisely on the algorithm or method of solving the problem
Due to the fact that the implementation of the introduction of new methods of teaching modern teacher requires special knowledge in the field of programming or services programmers, there is a need to develop tools that will allow the untrained user to independently create training programs and tools. The article proposes a method for creating such a programmed environment for the development of educational software systems based on the technology Drag-and-drop and the corresponding software module.
The software product offered in the article allows you to create controls – Button, Table, Picture, Text Field. Each control has settings that allow you to perform drag-and-drop actions and other properties of Drag-and-Drop objects. Each of the controls is created in the dialog mode by the user using the special commands of the program menu. The program has a user-friendly interface and is easy to use.
The practical value of the development - the program module for the creation of training systems using the technology Drag-and-drop, allows a teacher who does not have special knowledge in the field of programming, create educational software independently. This will increase the efficiency of the teacher himself and the quality of the educational process.

Today, the complexities of health issues require technologies to improve the quality of health care and maintain healthy individuals. Open source softwares such as OpenMRS are the basis for developing electronic health record systems to manage patient health information. Data model, API, and Web-based application are the three main parts of OpenMRS technical architecture. The core of the Open MRS software includes a web-based application and a number of open source softwares such as My SQL, Mozilla Firefox and Hyper net. These softwares use standards such as XML and X-Form to exchange and display data and enhance collaboration with other systems. Also, they can be manipulated and searched using SQL. Considering the high potential of OpenMRS in reducing the cost of implementation and development of electronic health record systems in developing countries, they can be used to manage information of patients and improve the quality of health services.
