...Abstract:-Software requirement analysis is a method to find out the requirements form the user to develop software. Software requirement analysis and specification also include the types of user requirements and the methods by which developer team can elicit the user requirement and develop suitable software for the user. Introduction:- ➢ Requirement analysis: - Requirements analysis, also called requirements engineering, is the process of determining user expectations for a new or modified product. These features, called requirements, must be quantifiable, relevant and detailed. In software engineering, such requirements are often called functional specifications. Requirements analysis is an important aspect of project management. Requirements analysis involves frequent communication with system users to determine specific feature expectations, resolution of conflict or ambiguity in requirements as demanded by the various users or groups of users, avoidance of feature creep and documentation of all aspects of the project development process from start to finish. Energy should be directed towards ensuring that the final system or product conforms to client needs rather than attempting to mold user expectations to fit the requirements. Requirements analysis is a team effort that demands a combination of hardware, software and human factors engineering expertise as well as skills in dealing with people. ➢ Software requirement analysis: - The success of any new software...

...A SWOT Analysis view of the software development industry Georgios Kormaris Department of Information and Computing Sciences, Utrecht University, Utrecht, The Netherlands gkormari@cs.uu.nl WWW home page: http://www.cs.uu.nl/ Introduction I n the past twenty to thirty years many changes and developments have taken place in the software industry which started off during the 1960s mainly in the United States of America and experienced a revolutionary boom since the 1980s, Steinmueller, (1995). There are many different ways and methods of developing software and planning the strategy of a software development company, as we can derive from many recent research projects. Most of these projects are usually concerned with the way that software is developed and not with the way that the strategy of the company as a whole is planned, Cusumano, MacCormack, Kemerer, & Crandall, (2003). Another important factor is which techniques and methods are used to analyze company’s environment and how the strategy is formulated and implemented. In this paper we analyze a popular method for strategic planning which has been mostly used for product portfolio planning and strategic planning on an abstract level, as stated in a research paper by Houben, Lenie, & Vanhoof, (1999). We will focus our interest in the software industry and base our research on the case study of the Austrian software industry as it is presented by Bernroider, (2002). Additionally, certain guidelines are...

...Software Threat Analysis and Mitigation CMGT 431 Jan 14, 2015 Software Threat Analysis and Mitigation Many different types of software threats exist today. All of these threats can harm your companies’ bottom line. Whether it is directly by stealing funds, proprietary information, data, or indirectly by damaging code, denial of service, reducing company productivity. There are many different products, services, and procedures that can provide differing levels of protection against these threats. Threats and Counter Measures A buffer overflow attempts to disrupt the function of an application by providing more data to the program than it was designed to handle. This overflow can cause the application to shut down, but it can also cause more malicious effects. Overflow attacks can corrupt program variables causing the program to behave in a way it was not designed to, these attacks can also overwrite software instructions (Gregory, 2010). Malicious software is a generalized term encompassing many forms of code with varying degrees of damage done to a host system. Some of the more common forms are viruses, worms, Trojan horses, spam, spyware/adware, and bots. All of these malicious codes attempt to gain access to your system to degrade your ability to perform as normal. Viruses attempt to corrupt your system so it is unusable, but must be activated by the user accessing a program with the virus attached. Worms are similar to viruses but do not require a user...

...by other articles in PMC. Go to: Abstract Knowledge about users and their information needs can contribute to better user interface design and organization of information in clinical information systems. This can lead to quicker access to desired information, which may facilitate the decision-making process. Qualitative methods such as interviews, observations and surveys have been commonly used to gain an understanding of clinician information needs. We introduce clinical information system (CIS) log analysis as a method for identifying patient-specific information needs and CIS log mining as an automated technique for discovering such needs in CIS log files. We have applied this method to WebCIS (Web-based Clinical Information System) log files to discover patterns of usage. The results can be used to guide design and development of relevant clinical information systems. This paper discusses the motivation behind the development of this method, describes CIS log analysis and mining, presents preliminary results and summarizes how the results can be applied. Go to: INTRODUCTION The availability of clinical information to the clinician at the point of care is essential to the health care process. Inability to locate needed information can be costly in terms of time and quality of care. Clinical information systems have been developed to assist clinicians with their decisions; however, these systems need to ensure that they provide the information in optimal ways. In order...

...Why are data analysis skills and thinking so important to spend analysis? Can’t software applications be used to generate the information needed automatically? Not all data presented to you may be important to make strategic decisions. One can make sense out of a large data when data analysis skills and thinking are employed. These skills help one identify the more meaningful information and understand patterns, consistencies or irregularities, to make sound decisions. Flanagan of Pepco Holdings, in the article provided, shared that one will be better able to assist internal clients in planning spend strategies and also better understand supplier’s cost proposals. Analysis is important because most automatically generated results do not provide the information needed. It is important to know what data is meaningful and understand what the output of the data means and how to employ it in a real world application How might structured process such as Six Sigma methodology be useful here? Data analysis is important for a company’s continuous improvement efforts. Six Sigma is a business process improvement tool to significantly minimize mistakes at a stringently high level. The methodology of Six Sigma itself, when followed correctly (i.e. DMAIC), will allow a person to identify process inefficiencies and address them to generate cost savings, deliver quality of service and achieve more consistent good results. Why is it important to get other functional areas,...
