Software architecture is what defines a software system to be built. It starts early in the software development life cycle. The software architecture defines the data as well as the components of any software system along with the relation between them. It constitutes the blueprint that directs the development of the computer based software system. Being a critical activity of software development life cycle, any error in the design phase of software development can be critical to an organization dealing with the project and as such requires evaluation process that will not only analyse the architecture for its quality attributes but will benefit the software development organization by minimizing the risks associated with the software system to be built by pinpointing the errors early in the process of development. This paper highlights the architecture evaluation process with some examples of evaluation methods along with related work that has been previously done in the said field.Keywords

Testing techniques refer to different methods or ways of testing particular features of a computer program, system or product. Presently there are so many different software testing techniques that we can use. Whether we decide to automate or just execute tests manually, there is a selection of testing techniques to choose from. We have to make sure that we select technique(s) that will help to ensure the most efficient and effective testing of the system. The fundamental problem in software testing thus throws an open question, as to what would be the techniques that we should adopt for an efficient and effective testing. Thus, the selection of right testing techniques at the right time for right problem will make the software testing efficient and effective. In this paper we discuss how should testing techniques be compared with one another and why do we face a problem in making appropriate testing technique selection.Keywords

File system operations include data operations and metadata operations. Data operations act upon actual user data while metadata operations modify the structure of the file system, like creating, deleting, or renaming files, directories, etc. During a metadata operation, the system must ensure that data are written to disk in such a way that the file system can be recovered to a consistent state after a system crash. In this paper we look at some most notable techniques which ensure reliability of disk file systems against system crashes and failures.Keywords

Software Reliability is an important component of software quality. A number of software reliability models have been proposed since 1970s, but there is no single model that can be used in all the situations. To reduce the risk, it is better to experiment with the model of the system rather than with the system itself. Simulation, offers an attractive alternative to analytical models as it describes a system being characterized in terms of its artifacts, events, interrelationships and interactions in such a way that one may perform experiments on the model, rather than on the system itself. Simulation strives for achieving its goals but it does have certain limitations. This research paper focuses on the goals and limitations of using simulation in software reliability.Keywords

Testing remains the truly effective means to assure the quality of a software system of nontrivial complexity. An important aspect of test planning is measuring test effectiveness. To make testing more successful we need to choose effective testing techniques. To compare testing techniques we need to place software testing techniques on a measurement scale which can define the relative merits of the existing testing techniques, but due to differences in software’s and its allied parameters this task seems to be complex, if not impossible.Keywords

Software effort estimation is the forecasting of development effort and development time needed to develop any software project. It is considered to be the very primary step of software development process and at the same time considered to be the key task as accurate assessments of growth of the current project, its delivery exactness and its cost control can only be achieved once desired estimation is accurate. And at broader perspective an accurate estimation of a currently developing software product will result in landing the organization in a better schedule of its futuristic software projects too. With due above reason, software effort estimation has received a considerable amount of attention of many researchers from past so many decades. In this paper, software cost estimation is done by first performing a proposed input selection procedure to get the relevant set of cost drivers and leaving behind the irrelevant attributes. In the next step, it is now only these relevant set of attributes that are being assigned to Artificial Neural Network as its input for the purpose of getting the accurate estimation of software development effort and cost. Removing the irrelevant cost drivers at the very first step directly leads to attain accurate software cost estimation results. Besides this the proposed model results in a significant decrease of complexities associated with traditional Artificial Neural Network based Software cost estimation models. For the purpose of evaluation of proposed model, Magnitude of Relative Error and Median of Magnitude of Relative Error are used as a measure of performance index to weigh the obtained quality of estimation which becomes more evident when later compared with two existing models. After an extensive evaluation of results, it showed that the proposed model performs well in software cost estimation.Keywords

The pay-as-you-use service model is one of the key factors for the success of cloud computing paradigm: resources are used only when needed and charged on basis of their actual usage. There are ICT services through cloud which are even provided free to educational institutions and institutions can benefit from these services. Universities necessarily do not have enough resources to spend on subscribing or establishing ICT facilities but these facilities are essential for improving the way faculty & student interact, communicate, and carry research activities. Faculty, staff and students have access to services like institutional email, 1 TB drive space, Office applications free which otherwise require purchased licenses. In this paper, the different free services provided for educational use are discussed, analysed for perception of its adoption. Further, case study of these services implemented at university of Kashmir has been chosen as the research methodology to discuss and demonstrate the educational cloud services. According to the results, clear understanding and operational ease, high reliability, ease of accessibility with no financial implications is achieved. This guarantees the desired performance level and minimises the expenditure otherwise to be incurred on setting up or subscribing to such services.Keywords
