Software quality models have increasingly emphasized human factors and user needs. In 2011, ISO/IEC 25010 introduced the quality‐in‐use (QinU) model, designed to evaluate software quality as an outcome of a user utilizing a system through the ...

The paper defines and validates a set of 32 quality‐in‐use (QinU) measures for evaluating context‐aware software systems. Academic researchers and industry experts collaborated to define the measures. The set of measures considers classic explicit user ...

With the rapid development of the software industry, software supply chains have become increasingly complex and diverse. Critical software domains such as operating systems, databases and web servers extensively adopt open source components, which are ...

User interface aesthetics, a particular sub-characteristic of the ISO 25010 software quality model, is correlated to the perceived or actual usability of a graphical user interface, its user experience, and trust. While many measures, such as balance, ...

In this paper, we present DistFax, a toolkit for measuring common distributed systems, focusing on their interprocess communications (IPCs), a vital aspect of distributed system run-time behaviors. DistFax measures the coupling and cohesion of ...

Software analytics is a data-driven approach to decision making, which allows software practitioners to leverage valuable insights from data about software to achieve higher development process productivity and improve different aspects of software ...

Bad smells are symptoms of bad design choices implemented on the source code. They are one of the key indicators of technical debts, specifically, design debt. To manage this kind of debt, it is important to be aware of bad smells and refactor them ...

In the paper, we present a measurement framework for evaluating quality in software products developed within the research and innovation framework project GÉANT. The proposed framework is based on the quality models by Boehm and McCall, but also ...

We propose a hierarchical quality evaluation framework. It is customized to the needs of innovative projects by identification of external funding agency, an additional stakeholder in the system. The framework is supplied with data coming from various ...

Despite that non-invasive software measurement tools have proven their usefulness in software production, their adoption in software industry is still limited. Reasons for the limited distributions have been studied and analysed recently. In this paper, ...

Context/Background: To achieve high software quality, particularly in the context of agile software development, organizations need tools to continuously analyze software quality. Several quality management (QM) tools have been developed in recent ...

In software crowdsourcing, task price is one of the most important incentive to attract broad worker participation and contribution. Underestimating or overestimating a task's price may lead to task starvation or resource inefficiency. Nevertheless, few ...

The software development activities typically produce a large amount of data. Using a data-driven approach to decision making - such as Software Analytics - the software practitioners can achieve higher development process productivity and improve many ...

Software metrics are not widely used and trusted, especially by senior IT management. We should not be surprised at this given that much that much published material is worthless, even dangerous. This talk is designed to alert everyone to the wide range ...

Software Process Improvement SPI encompasses the analysis and modification of the processes within software development, aimed at improving key areas that contribute to the organizations' goals. The task of evaluating whether the selected improvement ...

Even though software engineering education embraces the teaching of software measurement topics, there is a lack of guidelines to address this teaching in undergraduate programs. In order to facilitate the education of these topics at the undergraduate ...

The COSMIC method provides a standardized way of measuring the functional size of software from the functional domains commonly referred to as 'business application' or 'Management Information Systems' (MIS) and 'real-time' software, and hybrids of ...

As cyber threats increasingly utilize automated and adaptive attacks to bypass or overwhelm static defenses, the role of intrusion detection and response systems (IDRS) as an active defense layer is becoming more critical. To remain effective against ...

Software measurement is a key process for software project management and software process improvement. There are several process quality models and measurement standards that point out its importance and present good practices for it. Unfortunately, ...

Agile development processes are preferred by most of the software industry over plan-driven processes in recent years. The transition from plan-driven to agile processes has surfaced a problem: How to adopt metrics that will provide information about ...

Over the years, software functional size measurement has become a viable tool to determine the effort and time needed to carry out a software project. This growth has led to an increased interest, as shown in several studies, as well as to the ...

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 ...
