...Evaluation of Software Quality Krzysztof Sacha Warsaw University of Technology, Nowowiejska 15/19 00-665 Warszawa, Poland k.sacha@ia.pw.edu.pl Abstract. The paper describes a method, which we used to evaluate the expected quality of software that was developed for a huge governmental system. The evaluation lasted nearly two years and was performed along with the software development process. The output that was expected by our customer consisted of a quality assessment accompanied by a set of recommendations on what to do in order to enhance the quality of the product. 1 Introduction The ultimate goal of software engineering is to find methods for developing high quality software products at reasonable cost. As computers are being used in more and more critical areas of the industry, the quality of software becomes a key factor of business success and human safety. Two approaches can be followed to ensure software quality. One is focused on a direct specification and evaluation of the quality of software product, while the other is focused on assuring high quality of the process by which the product is developed. The software industry is currently entering a period of maturity, in which particular informal approaches are specified more precisely and are supported by the appropriate standards. Quality characteristics of software products are defined in ISO/IEC 9126 [1]. For each characteristic, a set of attributes which can be measured is determined. Such a definition...

...Classroom Technology Plan My mission is to incorporate technology strategies in the classroom as much as possible, while following the guidelines set out by the state curriculum. My vision is to create a classroom/environment where all students are excited and anxious to learn and that students be able to show what they have learned at the end of each lesson. As technology continues to grow, there will be more and more of a need and demand for technology use in the classroom. When using computer technology in the classroom, one must find the course of action to correctly guide lessons for the curriculum so that students can reach their optimum goals. Ultimately to mark how each student is doing in the classroom we must locate software for formative and summative assessments. After all, a teacher’s ultimate goal to be able to teach our students and also be able to document what those students have learned. In that light one, the teacher must look a number of things, how can technology assist in efforts to assess student learning? What are formative assessment and summative assessment and how do they compare and differ? What are the pluses and minuses of using technology in the classroom? Should only technology be used in assessing learning? These are the questions that teachers seek to answer and justify. First, let us explore assessments in the classroom. Why is assessment necessary? What are formative and summative assessments? And how do teachers use these...

...literate by the time they reach the eight grade. Evidence exist within the Houston County School District that A grant was written in 2009 requesting two million dollars to bridge the digital divide within our community. The grant was approved and a motion to coordinate a curriculum develop project has been accepted by the schools board committee. The goal of this project is to integrate technology among all middle schools that is at present an underserved community with limited access to technology. All stakeholders will be compiled into committees and a point of direct contact will be delegated for each group. After all decisions have been made and the implementation phase begins, the program will receive formative and summative evaluations that will continue to occur as for the duration of the program. Power in Technology The Houston County School District, plagued with a high crime rate, high unemployment, and extreme poverty, has found itself deficient of the skills needed to perform day-to-day-tasks. Many of the people in this community have been impacted by deficiencies passed down from generation to generation. For example, some of the women who currently receive governmental assistance (public housing, welfare and food vouchers) are descendents of those who received the same assistance. This sometimes extends as far back as 4 generations. With this taken into consideration the Houston County School District (HCSD) has hired, Bridgett Standring, to...

...tips for selecting the best Commercial Off The Shelf (COTS) software product Article by Prinicipal Consultant Thomas Hornbæk Svendsen, NNIT Selecting a Commercial Off The Shelf (COTS) software product is usually a demanding process. Not only does it require clear objectives and goals, but also a dedicated group of key stakeholders with substantial business process insight. Moreover, to ensure the process is successfully planned and completed, it’s necessary to use a transparent method to document decisions and capture learnings and decisions. The organisation you work for probably has a more or less well-defined process for acquiring COTS software products. Normally, this will include a policy for how to engage in such a process, and a governance-structure for budgeting and decisions. The supporting process-descriptions will vary from organisation to organisation – you might find a detailed and transparent process – or the opposite, that the process is only defined in broad terms, leaving it up to you to define the concept and approach. In case of the latter – how do you get the process right? It’s up to you – perhaps together with a group of colleagues – to ensure that the financial requirements are adequately balanced against the requirements for business process support, that the organisation’s business imperatives are met, and that all relevant stakeholders are adequately involved. Furthermore, if the COTS software product is for a GxP-validated setup, you must ensure that...

...I. Situation Analysis This case is about a problem identification and solution of the Millennium Insurance Company. It’s a mid-sized insurance company with 10,000 employees and about 1.8 million customers. It offers various lines of insurance. For example: life, property and casualty and health. The biggest ratio of the revenue is generated by selling insurances and as well from a substantial mortgage business. The company is performing well, but there some problems in the IT-department. Many employees in the line business divisions as well as lower-level analysts have bought and used various PC’s and software. This happened without support of the IT department. When end-users contacted the IT-department they were unconfident, because they didn’t get help of them. The staff of the IT-department were focused on mainframe computing and operational systems and not about the PC’s and the software’s. This led to a high amount of complaints of the line business units about the unresponsiveness and the incompetence of the IT-department. So the senior vice president ‘John Cheng’ wanted to change this situation. He and senior managers developed a one year plan. This plan is structured in a three step approach: PC Research and Development Knowledge Management End User Education and Support The focus in this essay is on the end-user education and support strategy. The key manager is Elise Smart. She is 32 years old and was the senior manager in the development group of the IT...

The assessment of content quality (CQ) in social media adds a layer of complexity over traditional information quality assessment frameworks. Challenges arise in accurately evaluating the quality of content that has been created by users from different backgrounds, for different domains and consumed by users with different requirements. This paper presents a comprehensive review of 19 existing CQ assessment related frameworks for social media in addition to proposing directions for framework improvements. Keywords: content quality assessment, social media, discussion forums, wikis, weblogs. 1 Introduction Information quality (IQ) has been widely defined in literature by its fitness for use. Existing research in the field of assessing IQ within traditional information systems is relatively mature and has led to the discovery and validation of numerous quality dimensions and metrics [2, 15, 17, 29, 35]. Knight & Burn (2005) have presented a comprehensive review of literature in the realm of assessing IQ frameworks. Common IQ dimensions that were identified from their review are presented in Table 1. The definitions of these dimensions have been included from Wang & Strong (1996)...
