Overcoming code rot in legacy software projects
Legacy software projects tend to be the most susceptible to code rot due to typical issues (e.g., outdated documentation) that affect software projects over the course of their lifetimes. While software engineering has matured over time to promote good practices (e.g, Test Driven Development) that …

Social and Technical Quality Analysis in Software Projects
Software quality is an important aspect of the development of successful and cost-effective software products. In recent years, it has been recognized that both the technical and the social quality aspects are important for a successful software product. Smells are usually an indication of the …

Managing economic value and uncertainty on software projects : an empirical study with the CASSE framework
Lack of adaptive-predictor models in software development renders the decision-making process complex, principally when evaluating investment options. Prior work has presented various approaches which are still non-integrated, requiring rigour to embrace overall economic value and uncertainty …

Rapid and flexible product development : an analysis of software projects at Hewlett Packard an Agilent
… on Internet time, most companies involved in software product development carried out the different phases of the product development sequentially. If, during the later stages of product development (ex: coding), the company came across new information or the user needs changed then these …

A comparative study of iterative prototyping vs. waterfall process applied to small and medium sized software projects
… 1970, several approaches looking to provide the software development process with a formal framework have been elaborated and tested. While some of these followed the sequential line of thought presented by Royce and Boehm, other methodologies have suggested the use of iterations since early …

OPEN SOURCE SOFTWARE PROJECTS' ATTRACTIVENESS, ACTIVENESS, AND EFFICIENCY AS A PATH TO SOFTWARE QUALITY: AN EMPIRICAL EVALUATION OF THEIR RELATIONSHIPS AND CAUSES
<p>An organizational strategy to develop software has appeared in the market. Organizations release software source code open and hope to attract volunteers to improve their software, forming what we call an open source project. Examples of organizations that have used this strategy include IBM …

An experiment in software error occurance and detection.
The occurrence and detection of software errors was studied in four software projects. Errors were analyzed with respect to complexity measures of individual subroutines. This paper also provides definitions of error categories and types. The detailed documentation of the software production effort …

A new estimation methodology for reusable component-based software development projects
Estimating the duration of software development projects is a difficult task. There are many factors that can derail software projects. However, estimation forms the fundamental part of planning and costing any project and is therefore very necessary. While several formal estimation methodologies …
