The ISO is developing a new ISO 25000 series on Software Product Quality Requirements and Evaluation (SQuaRE) to improve the interpretation and use of quality measures for software products. This chapter explains how the ISO 19539 Measurement Information Model can be used to implement the ISO 9126 models for software product quality. It also identifies some of the harmonization issues arising as a result of the addition of new documents like ISO 25020 and ISO 25021, in particular with respect to previously published measurement standards for software engineering.

Particular return to McCall’s et al. seminal work has been done in recent international standards ISO/IEC 25022:2016 and ISO/IEC 25023:2016. 122 lower level measures (metrics in McCall’s et al. terminology) were introduced. Authors of standards themselves classify quality measures as Highly Recommended, Recommended, Used at user’s Discretion and Generic, Specific. In this paper, quality measures are additionally classified also from the point of view of objectivity of measurement and of usage in industry.

The role of a developer in multiple Scrum teams is increasingly vital in modern agile environments. By participating in several teams, developers can enhance their impact through cross-pollination of ideas and improved problem-solving skills. Members in an agile team interact according to role and responsibility, often conversing as they focus on a working software built incrementally to discuss priorities, progress, and impediments. It enables the developers to introduce new ideas and outstanding problem-solving strategies from one team to another. However, this position has downsides, like split focus and potential burnout. Managing tasks in different groups could harm performance and lead to more mistakes. That's why promoting a steady pace of innovation and reducing fatigue helps speed up output. The organization must also spread work among developers to minimize their work hours and ensure job flexibility. This paper aims to help these developers navigate the practical aspects of working in multiple Scrum teams using the Scrum framework. If these challenges are handled well and balanced against the benefits of a multi-team environment, developers can gain advantages and significantly improve their organization's results.

The low rate of blood donors in Brazil, below the WHO recommendation, motivated this study on the donor's journey. The research identified that the main reason for donating is emotional, while barriers include lack of information and fear. An experiment with no-code prototypes validated the hypothesis that reminders and feedback on the impact of donation encourage regular donations. The study proposes a digital product focused on pre-capture, with scheduling, pre-screening and follow-up, aiming at a more agile and humanized experience. The user journey in the product includes discovery, engagement, connection with the blood bank, donation and retention, with emotional and practical triggers to encourage recurrence. The product aims to increase the number of recurring donors and improve the predictability of stocks in blood banks.

This chapter provides a basis for discussion and analysis of the quality characteristics of the Agile Information Systems Development (AISD) process, and exposes concerns raised regarding the applicability and suitability of agile methods in different organisational and national cultures. The arguments are derived from recent literature reviews and reports on the state-of-the-art in Agile Methodologies. We also reflect on our own research and experience in three European countries with different academic and work values, and Information Systems Development (ISD) industrial practices based on diverse principles. Examining the different perceptions of quality in the agile software development paradigm by comparing and contrasting them to the quality perceptions in the established ISD methodological paradigms, we aim at: (i) exploring the relationship of traditional, agile, managed and measured ISD processes; (ii) making more explicit the human dynamics that bear on the success and consensus acceptance of IS, and (iii) establishing a critical framework/approach for reflecting on the suitability and applicability of agile methods in the development and management of quality software systems.

While Agile development approaches to physical products have allowed companies to respond more quickly to change and increase R&D productivity, implementing these approaches also poses new challenges for new-product portfolio management. When Agile and the traditional way of measuring, evaluating, and managing projects clash, companies must reassess how portfolios are managed, how go/kill and prioritization decisions are made, and how performance is measured. This article explores the new solutions and emerging challenges at the boundary between project and portfolio management and suggests tools and approaches to deal with these new challenges.

Software product families are rarely created right away but they emerge when a domain becomes mature enough to sustain their long-term investments. The typical pattern is to start with a small set of products to quickly enter a new market. As soon as the business proves to be successful new investments are directed to consolidating the software assets. The various products are migrated towards a flexible platform where the assets are shared and new products can be derived from. In order to create and maintain the platform, the organization needs to carry out several activities such as recovering the architectures of single products and product families, designing the reference architecture, isolating the variable parts, and generalizing software components. In this paper, we introduce a product family construction process that exploits related systems and product families, and we describe methods and tools used. We also present an approach for classifying platforms according to platform coverage and variation and describe three techniques to handle variability across single products and whole product families.

The objective of this research is to map, based on the literature, studies that report on how agile portfolio management is applied in companies. The context of this study examines how global competition and volatility affect the management of digital systems portfolios. The results indicate that the studies suggest that the agile approach is the one that best fits this context. In the systematic review of the selected studies, only 6 works were found to be relevant to the research objective, highlighting that the topic of agile portfolio management is underexplored in the literature, as no articles were found that mention the most commonly used frameworks today and/or demonstrate how they are implemented. It is expected that this study will contribute to academic researchers studying agile portfolio management, as there is a scarcity of scientific works addressing the impact of this type of management on organizations. Regarding its contribution to the market, it is hoped that prof...

Global software development (GSD) is a phenomenon that is receiving considerable interest from companies all over the world. In GSD, stakeholders from different national and organizational cultures are involved in developing software and the many benefits include access to a large labour pool, cost advantage and round-the-clock development. However, GSD is technologically and organizationally complex and presents a variety of challenges to be managed by the software development team. In particular, temporal, geographical and socio-cultural distances impose problems not experienced in traditional systems development. In this paper, we present findings from a case study in which we explore the particular challenges associated with managing GSD. Our study also reveals some of the solutions that are used to deal with these challenges. We do so by empirical investigation at three US based GSD companies operating in Ireland. Based on qualitative interviews we present challenges related to temporal, geographical and socio-cultural distance.

The potential shown by Lean in different domains has aroused interest in the software industry. However, it remains unclear how Lean can be effectively applied in a domain such as software development that is fundamentally different from manufacturing. This paper explores how Lean principles are implemented in software development companies and the challenges that arise when applying Lean Software Development. For that, a case study was conducted at Ericsson R&D Finland, which successfully adopted Scrum in 2009 and subsequently started a comprehensible transition to Lean in 2010. Focus groups were conducted with company representatives to help devise a questionnaire supporting the creation of a Lean mindset in the company {Team Amplifier). Afterwards, the questionnaire was used in 16 teams based in Finland, Hungary and China to evaluate the status of their transformation. By using Lean thinking, Ericsson R&D Finland has made important improvements to the quality of its products, customer satisfaction and transparency within the organization. The study makes two main contributions to research. First, the main factors that have enabled Ericsson R&D's achievements are analysed. Elements such as 'network of product owners', 'continuous integration', 'work in progress limits' and 'communities of practice' have been identified as being of fundamental importance. Second, three categories of challenges in using Lean Software Development were identified: 'achieving flow', 'transparency' and 'creating a learning culture'.

Given the requirement for software engineering graduates to operate in Global Software Development (GSD) environments, educators need to develop teaching methods to enhance and instill GSD knowledge in their students. In this paper, we discuss two projects that provided students with a first-hand learning experience of working within GSD teams. One project was with Siemens Corporate Research, whose focus was to shadow the development of a real-life GSD project. The second project, whose focus was virtual team software testing, was carried out in collaboration with Ball State University. In parallel with these projects we undertook qualitative research during which we analyzed students' own written reflections and face-to-face interviews that focused on their learning experiences in these contexts. We identified three specific forms of learning which had taken place: pedagogical, pragmatic and the acquisition of specific globally distributed knowledge. Our findings confirm that mimicking real work settings has educational benefits for problem-based learning environments.

The Controls Section at the Synchrotron ALBA[1], produces and supports the software to operate the accelerators, the beamlines and the peripheral laboratories. It covers a wide range of disciplines like vacuum, motion, data acquisition and analysis, graphical interfaces, or archiving. Since the installation and commissioning phases, we have been producing the software solutions mostly in single-developer projects based on the personal criteria. This organization scheme allowed each control engineer to gain the expertise in particular areas by being the unit contact responsible to develop and deliver products. In order to enrich the designs and improve the quality of solutions we have grouped the engineers in teams. The hierarchy of the product backlogs represents the desired features and the known defects in a transparent way. Instead of planning the whole project upfront, we try to design the products incrementally and develop them in short iterations mitigating the risk of not satisfying the evolving user requirements. This paper describes the introduction of the Scrum framework as the product development strategy in a service oriented organization like the Computing Division at Alba.

Despite its widespread use, KOHA is not without complications. Quality attributes such as functionality, maintainability, user friendliness, and overall performance were frequently identified as issues in empirical studies. While attempts were made to assess the KOHA's quality attributes, the coverage or scope of the assessment was limited to only a few attributes. Furthermore, the majority of these studies were descriptive in nature, with no theoretical model or framework as a foundation. Given this gap, a study was conducted to assess KOHA's quality rating and its relationship with overall performance satisfaction. Six research hypotheses were developed and tested in conjunction with an integrated theoretical framework that combined quality attributes and performance satisfaction. A survey using online questionnaire as the data collection technique was administered to librarians or other professionals involved in the implementation of KOHA systems in Pakistan. The study revealed that while quality attributes were not rated highly, they were found to have a significant impact on performance satisfaction. Specifically, functionality, efficiency, maintainability, portability, usability, and reliability are found to have joint influence on performance satisfaction. The findings have made an important contribution from both theoretical and practical perspectives.

Enterprise application software (EAS) needs to be aligned with the long-term goals of the organization to fully support business operations. Agile software development management tools like Atlassian "Jira" do not ensure required integrity between the strategic business objectives and lower-level items (themes, initiatives, epics, user stories, tasks, etc.). The aim of the paper is to describe a model-driven approach of Agile software tools enhancement with integrity checking functionality. The complexity of the problem lies in transforming the declared business strategies into well-defined structures suitable for model-driven development methods. The first task is mapping required business strategies to well-defined application design models using MODAF concepts and products. The content of Agile concepts is defined using the concept of capability and related MODAF models. In the next step, the interactions between the concepts in the dynamic Agile hierarchy are formalized using management transaction (MT) concept. The advantage of our approach is the usage of well-defined frameworks to identify the content of Agile concepts and their interactions in the application development to ensure alignment. This is proved by providing an example of improved usability of "Jira" concepts and Agile software management hierarchy.

In a big company, project management (PM) is always present. Traditional predictive PM approach is concerned with planning everything in advance and then controlling and adjusting if necessary, throughout the project timeline. This may work well when the requirements are well established, but for maintenance projects brings inherent uncertainty. When the subject is aircraft maintenance, it is almost impossible to plan everything at the beginning and expect that it will occur as planned because however a scheduled maintenance plan exists, according to statistics 60% of the aircraft total failure can only be found with ground inspection which means, that even if a plan is established before receiving the aircraft, it will most certainly need to be significantly changed. This requires a big effort from the planning team to plan everything right and ensure that all tools and resources are available to perform the required tasks. To solve this issue, in this paper we propose a hybrid project management approach developed to a case study company from the aircraft repair sector, to enable a faster planning while taking into account the priorities and dependencies of the inherent project tasks with the available resources.

This paper summarizes the results of a descriptive meta-analysis on existing academic research in IS offshoring from 1996 to 2006. It identifies relevant research, categorizes it, and suggests future research directions. The results show that IS offshoring represents a new research area with most research being published during 2003 to 2006. Non-theory based, descriptive research designs dominate. Most studies focus on the questions of "why" to offshore, "how" to offshore, and the "outcome" of IS offshoring. Other aspects such as "what" services to offshore or "which" decision to make are underresearched. Future research could focus on these areas. Additionally, more empirical-confirmatory research might enrich the IS offshoring body of knowledge by providing findings that are based on more diversified patterns of research designs.

Software Product Lines (SPLs) refer to some software engineering methods, tools and techniques for creating a collection of similar software systems from a shared set of software assets using a common means of production. This concept is recognized as a successful approach to reuse in software development. Its purpose is to reduce production costs by reusing existing features and managing the variability between the different products with respect of particular constraints. Software Product Line engineering is the production process in product lines and the development of a family of systems by reusing core assets. It exploits the commonalities between software products and preserves the ability to vary the functionalities and features between these products. The adopted strategy for building SPL can be a top-down or bottom-up. Depending from the selected strategy, it is possible to face an inappropriate implementation in the SPL Model or the derived products during this process. Th...

IEC 80001-1 is a risk management standard that addresses the risks associated with the incorporation of a medical device into an IT network. Our research in the area of IEC 80001-1 has to date been focused on the development of a Process Reference Model (PRM) and Process Assessment Model (PAM) for assessment against IEC 80001-1. In this paper we present the approach to the next phase of our research which focuses on the development of an assessment method which will be used to perform an assessment using the IEC 80001-1 PAM. The assessment method will ensure a standardized approach to performing an assessment while identifying key success and will contain a list of questions which will allow assessors to determine the capability level of processes within the PAM. The results of the assessment can be used as a basis for process improvement.

Context: Almost every organization with a strong digital capability has embarked on an agile transformation journey. But do these changes actually deliver on the envisioned transformation goals? What conclusions can we draw from measurements and observations? Objective: The ambition of this report is to (1) assess whether tooling data can be used to guide a transformation towards improved organizational performance; (2) verify claimed benefits of agile transformations using tooling data in the presented case study. Method: We measure productivity, time-to-market, and quality as transformation objectives by analyzing longitudinal Jira backlog tooling data within an embedded multiple-unit case study. Results: By analyzing over 57,000 Jira issues from eight agile release trains over a period of three years, we (1) provide a proof of concept of how tooling data can be used to guide agile transformations; (2) provide empirical evidence on the assessment of transformation objectives over time and organizational layers at FinOrg; and (3) connect measurement results with available literature. Conclusions: We may conclude that tooling data is a viable addition to guide transformations through identification of improvement opportunities on the set objectives. We connected the case study results to existing literature and identified similarities. We argue that there is a need for a measurement framework and better understanding of the dynamics between measurement and performance.

Over the past few years IT offshoring has become one of the most important corporate strategies in the software industry and is facing a diversity of challenges. One of them is the efficient transfer of knowledge between two companies, separated significantly in terms of time zone, geographical and cultural distance. Cultural aspects hence represent one of the most critical elements. While considering the software development process, requirements engineering is one of the most critical steps and implies an immense communication effort. When now the cross-cultural layer is added it seems to be a hardly solvable task. However, actual research on this section of knowledge transfer within offshore software development under cross-cultural settings is still limited. This is a research in progress paper using a qualitative research setting carried out with an explanatory case study involving the software requirements specification (SRS) as the knowledge to be transferred between IT compa...

In market-driven software product development, new features may be added to the software, based on a collection of candidate requirements. Selecting requirements however is difficult. Despite all work done on this problem, known as the next release problem, what is missing, is a comprehensive overview of the factors that complicate selecting software requirements. This paper aims at getting such overview. The authors performed a systematic literature review, searching for occurrences in the literature where a causal relation was suggested between certain conditions and the difficulty of selecting software requirements. Analyzing 544 papers led to 156 findings. Clustering them resulted in 33 complicating factors that were classified in eight groups. The complicating factors were validated in semi-structured interviews with twelve experts from three different industrial organizations. These interviews consisted of questions about participant's experiences with the complicating factors, and of questions how these factors complicated selecting requirements. The results aid in getting a better understanding of the complexity of selecting requirements.

Rapid productization is a new concept originating from the practical challenges of case companies. The purpose of this paper is to provide tangible examples of what are rapid productization preconditions and challenges in high-tech companies in sales situations. This study seeks to answer to the following research questions: what is rapid productization and what are preconditions and challenges for rapid productization? The research approach of this study follows constructivism and utilizes qualitative research to empirical observation based on interviews done to target enterprises and specialists. The need to quickly respond to new customer preferences addresses new structure to companies in changing business environment. Rapid productisation offers a framework for companies a new way how to solve a lack of offering in existing portfolio or service. Limitation of this study is that productization and rapid productization is not yet a stable concept in academic research. As a result of this study, a sales and rapid productization frame was formed. This study provides guidance for the managers considering rapid productisation as an option to serve customers better and improve agility within organisations. Rapid productization seeks to add value to a company in sales negotiation.

The group of attributes (characteristics, requirements) related to green software is essential part of software quality model. It consists of the two main attributes as a resources (energy) saving and sustainability. Evolution of software quality models is analyzed in context of green and reliability. In particular, well known software quality models beginning from on the first McCall's model (1977) to models described in standards ISO/IEC9126 (2001) and ISO/IEC25010 (2010) are analyzed according with green and reliability issues. Comparing of the software quality models are carried out using a special metrics of complexity and technique considering the number of levels and attributes and their semantics. Prediction of complexity for the next software quality model (2020) is fulfilled and variants of green software attributes inclusion in model are proposed.

The Software Development Life Cycle (SDLC) is a fundamental framework that governs the process of software development, encompassing planning, design, implementation, testing, deployment, and maintenance stages. As software engineering practices continue to evolve, various SDLC models have emerged, each offering distinct approaches to managing the development process. This comprehensive research analysis aims to explore the advantages and disadvantages of prominent SDLC models while assessing their suitability in the context of software quality engineering. The study begins with an in-depth examination of classical SDLC models such as the Waterfall, Iterative, and V-Model, comparing their unique features and procedural aspects. Subsequently, modernmethodologies, including Agile, Scrum, and DevOps, are explored to understand how they address the challenges posed by traditional linear models. The research analyzes the advantages of each SDLC model in terms of its impact on software quality engineering. Key considerations include the models' ability to facilitate effective collaboration, manage project risks, improve code quality, and ensure the successful delivery of bug-free software products. Additionally, the study highlights how specific SDLC models support compliance with industry standards and regulatory requirements. On the other hand, the research critically evaluates the inherent disadvantages of these models, focusing on potential shortcomings that may impact software quality engineering efforts. Common challenges, such as inadequate documentation, limited flexibility, and difficulties in accommodating evolving customer needs, are thoroughly discussed. Furthermore, the study examines the suitability of each SDLC model for various software quality engineering scenarios. Factors such as project size, complexity, criticality, and the dynamic nature of the software development landscape are considered when assessing the appropriateness of a particular model for specific projects. Practical case studies and real-world examples are presented to illustrate how different SDLC models have been effectively applied to improve software quality engineering practices. In conclusion, this research analysis provides valuable insights into the advantages, disadvantages, and application suitability of diverse SDLC models in the realm of software quality engineering. By comprehensively understanding the strengths and limitations of each model, software development stakeholders and quality engineers can make informed decisions and adopt the most appropriate SDLC approach for their projects. As software development continues to evolve, this research serves as a foundation for driving excellence in software quality engineering practices and ultimately delivering robust and reliable software products to meet the ever-changing demands of end-users and industry standards.
