Abstract

This paper suggests a method of comparing the actual rate of software development with the projected or targeted rate. A working function may be devised from past experiences and results that would give the projected or the expected rate of software development. Then using the methods given here, the actual rate of software development can be calculated at a particular stage of work and the required comparisons can be made. On the basis of the results of comparisons made in this manner, decisions can be taken to improve the quality by increasing the quantity or quality of manpower in order to achieve the quality target within the stipulated time. In order to obtain the graphical representation of data, we have used Microsoft office 2007 graphical chart. Which facilitate easy simulation of change in software quality at a particular stage of software development.

Abstract

Agile methodologies are emerging and gaining popularity in industry. To help our students grow into efficient software developers, in addition to good analysts and managers, we must instill into them the best methodologies for software development. Pair programming is a methodology in which two people work together and periodically switch between the roles of driver and navigator. Instead of partitioning a task into a number of activities, where each member performs a different activity alone, in pair work both partners perform each activity together. This paper presents the results of a study to assess the pattern (which we claim is similar to agile type methodologies) in software development procedures of student groups in a university setting. It is seen that vision and talent incorporated with structure and tools can serve as a good process model. This is to say that, a balance of agile and process driven approach is reportedly achieving the best performance.

Abstract

To improve the software quality the number of errors from the software must be removed. The research paper presents a study towards case-based reasoning as an expert system. The purpose of this paper is to apply the machine learning approaches, such as case-based reasoning, to calculate the error with respect to LOC. The novel idea behind this system is that knowledge base (KBS) building is an important task in CBR and the knowledge base can be built based on world new problems along with world new solutions. Second, reducing the maintenance cost by removing the duplicate record set from the KBS. Third, predict the error in software module correctly and use the results in future estimation. In this paper five distance functions the Euclidean, Canberra, Exponential, Clark and Manhattan method were taken into consideration in terms of percentage of errors generated during execution of programs. We feel that case-based models are particularly useful when it is difficult to define actual rules about a problem domain. In order to obtain a result we have used indigenous tool.
