Measuring the Influnence of Project Characteristics on Optimal Software Project Granularity

چکیده
With a well-structured design of reusable software, it is possible to save costs in future software development cycles and generate added value. Nowadays it is difficult to quantify which grade of project structuring enhances its reusability. This is the question this paper aims to examine, based on the financial Portfolio Selection theory and Value at Risk methods that can be adapted to the field of software project structuring. Using these methods, the value of the reusable source code can be evaluated and the risks of reimplementation be compared with alternative code structures. So we can quantify and measure the effects of the software project structure on the risks of reimplementation. This model is applied to 27 Github open source software projects and enables us to investigate the influences of the project characteristics on the best possible software project granularity.

Towards Measuring the Project Management Process During Large Scale Software System Implementation Phase
Project management is an important factor to accomplish the decision to implement large-scale software systems (LSS) in a successful manner. The effective project management comes into play to plan, coordinate and control such a complex project. Project management factor has been argued as one of the important Critical Success Factor (CSF), which need to be measured and monitored carefully duri...
متن کاملA Project Scheduling Method Based on Fuzzy Theory
In this paper a new method based on fuzzy theory is developed to solve the project scheduling problem under fuzzy environment. Assuming that the duration of activities are trapezoidal fuzzy numbers (TFN), in this method we compute several project characteristics such as earliest times, latest times, and, slack times in term of TFN. In this method, we introduce a new approach which we call modif...

The current research was conducted with the aim of evaluating the effects of the flood spreading project on the aquifer from the perspective of the villagers living on the edge of the project. The flood spreading plan on the aquifer has been implemented since 1995 on the level of 1259 ha of land in Tangestan city in Bushehr province in the form of the Kausar 3 research and extension training st...
متن کاملAn Evolutionary Algorithm Based on a Hybrid Multi-Attribute Decision Making Method for the Multi-Mode Multi-Skilled Resource-constrained Project Scheduling Problem
This paper addresses the multi-mode multi-skilled resource-constrained project scheduling problem. Activities of real world projects often require more than one skill to be accomplished. Besides, in many real-world situations, the resources are multi-skilled workforces. In presence of multi-skilled resources, it is required to determine the combination of workforces assigned to each activity. H...
متن کاملA Model-Driven Decision Support System for Software Cost Estimation (Case Study: Projects in NASA60 Dataset)
Estimating the costs of software development is one of the most important activities in software project management. Inaccuracies in such estimates may cause irreparable loss. A low estimate of the cost of projects will result in failure on delivery on time and indicates the inefficiency of the software development team. On the other hand, high estimates of resources and costs for a project wil...
