...Report Title:The Relationship between Software Metrics and their respective Quality Factors Introduction The major goal of Software Engineering is to produce ‘Quality’ Software that meets the user’s needs. Software quality is defined as “an effective software process applied in a manner that creates a useful product that provides measurable value for those who produce it and those who use it”. (Pressman 2010: 400) For quality software to be designed, the problem must be understood, requirements gathered in order to produce a high-quality software solution, which must contain all the functional features that are required by the end user. McCall (1977) developed a Software Quality model which is vital to obtain data to improve the performance of a piece of software. The McCall quality model defines and identifies the quality of a software product by addressing the three perspectives, product operation; the ability of the product to be easily understood and operated to produce the required results of the user, product revision; the ability of the software product to undergo changes which include error correction, flexibility, system adaptation, product transition; the ability of the software to adapt to new environments and adapt to rapidly changing hardware (Jamwal 2010). The model gives a relationship between Software Quality Factors and Metrics used to quantify the quality of software. Software Quality factors represent attributes or characteristics of software that a user...

...Introduction A. Report Objective Many sports drinks line the supermarket shelves. Often most obvious difference is the shape and in turn utility, capacity and appearance of the bottle. Some bottle shapes are standard, while others have a more complex design. Neither of the designs is perfect, neither of them fulfills its purpose properly and neither of them provides full customer satisfaction. Through our research and analysis, we have designed a bottle that is not only unique in style, but fits the needs of the target market properly. This report describes the major advantages of this innovative design and why this particular design is the most appropriate for the target market. B. Background We people from the Thunderbolt Company have come up with a brand new optimal bottle design. I, Aditya, Natalie, Cynthia and Vikas started with an initiative to jot down the problems of the daily consumers of sport drinks and come up with a design which would cater to their needs and demands. So our first step was to look at the major problems. After a thorough survey, we concluded that the sport drink bottles are really bulky and not at all friendly to hold. A simple example we took into consideration was a jogger in a park running around with a big bottle in hand without a proper grip. The design of the bottle is an important factor as it hinders in his routine exercise. 3 THE THUNDERBOLT   2013 Talking about environmental factors, the materials used for the bottles currently...

...TERRY L. VON THADEN, WILLIAM D. GEIBEL University of Illinois at Urbana Champaign Introduction Even though proper maintenance is crucial for aviation safety, tracing the effect that human error in maintenance operations has on accidents and incidents remains a difficult task. According to a UK Civil Aviation Authority study (2003), maintenance and inspection deficiencies ranked fourth (12%) as a factor in aviation accidents overall. Other studies have described that as technology has improved, aviation accidents attributed to mechanical failures alone have decreased, yet those attributed to human error have not shown the same reduction (Wiegmann & Shappell, 2003). Aircraft maintenance requires high reliability and is an important concern in the human factors realm for several reasons. On the one hand, automation, which has reduced flight crew workload, does not apply in maintenance operations (Reason & Hobbs, 2003). On the other hand, maintenance tasks generally access critical areas where human errors lead to serious consequences (Reason, 1997). From a human factors perspective, in the current competitive environment of commercial aviation, occupational opportunities relating to aircraft maintenance technicians (AMTs) are declining. While oil prices soar, fares remain low due to competition (Bond, 2008). Employing fewer technicians and making turnaround at the airport gate shorter are two of the various ways airlines have sought to improve financial efficiency...

...clearly, establish priorities, develop operational definitions and improve the final research design. Exploratory studies tend toward loose structures with the objective of discovering future research tasks. The purpose of exploration is usually to develop hypotheses or questions for further research. The formal study begins where the exploration leaves off it begins with a hypothesis or research question and involves precise procedures and data source specifications (Cooper, Schindler). Experimental and ex-post facto research design. In an experiment researchers attempt to control or manipulate the variables in the study. Experimental design is appropriate when one wishes to discover if certain variables produce effects in other variables. Experimentation provides the most powerful support possible for a hypothesis of causation. With an ex-post facto design investigators have no control over the variables in the sense of being able to manipulate them. They can report only what has happened or what is happening it is important for researchers using this design not influence the variables to do so introduces bias. There research is limited to holding factors constant by judicious selection of subjects according to strict sampling procedures and by statistical manipulation of findings (Cooper, Schindler). Descriptive and casual studies. Casual study is a study that is design to determine whether one or more variables explain the causes or effects of one or more outcome...

METHODOLOGY AND SAMPLING DESIGN 3.1 Types of Research 3.2 Sources of Data 3.3 Questionnaire Design 3.4 Sampling Design 4. DATA MANAGEMENT AND ANALYSIS CHAPTER 1 INTRODUCTION 1.1 Background Nepal Bank Limited is the oldest commercial bank of Nepal. It was established 1937 which marked the beginning of an era of formal banking in Nepal. From the very conception and its creation, Nepal Bank Ltd, was as joint venture between the government and the private sector. Out of 2500 equity shares of NRs. 100 face value, 40% was subscribed by the government and the balanced i.e. 60% was offered for the sale to private sector. There were only 10 shareholders when the bank first started. It can be said that Nepal Bank Limited has a history that is unequal to any in Nepal. It was the first one of its kind. It also served as the central bank of Nepal. It is, thus, safe to say that the history of banking sector in Nepal would be incomplete without mentioning Nepal Bank Limited. The service rendered by Nepal Bank to the country and its people is a great one- one that has no parallel. The banking industry...

...SYSTEMS DESIGN, IMPLEMENTATION AND OPERATION In chapter 18 we focused on the first phase of the Systems Development Life Cycle – Systems Analysis. Chapter 20 deals with the remaining four phases: - conceptual systems design - physical systems design - systems implementation and conversion - operation and maintenance CONCEPTUAL SYSTEMS DESIGN In the conceptual systems design phase, the developer creates a general framework for implementing user requirements and solving problems identified in the analysis phase. As shown in Figure 20-1 on page 747 HC (page 637 SC), there are three main steps in conceptual design: 1. evaluating design alternatives, 2. preparing design specifications, and 3. preparing the conceptual systems design report. [pic] Evaluate Design Alternatives There are many ways to design an AIS, so accountants and others involved in systems design must continually make design decisions. [pic] The design team should identify a variety of design alternatives and evaluate each with respect to the following standards: 1) how well it meets organizational and system objectives, 2) how well it meets user needs, 3) whether it is economically feasible, and 4) what its advantages and disadvantages are. The steering committee evaluates the alternatives. Table 20-1 on page 748 HC (page 638 SC) presents examples of conceptual and physical design considerations and their corresponding design alternatives...
