As long as most of the processes of verification and validation of software to grant acceptance by the customer/user, are subjective type, it is aimed to design a standard mathematical model with empirical to perform an appointment with areas or stages where development teams most fail involving large-scale software projects. This model will be based on a survey that the user must fill as going...

Testing plays a major role for improving the quality of a software product. Due to its iterative and incremental nature it needs special attention. Test case generation is one of the complex activities carried out during testing phase. Generating test cases in the early phases of development life cycle works like a catalyst for model based testing and at the same time efficiently manages time a...

MDA (Model Driven Architecture) attempts to solve some common problems of current software architectures to reduce the complexity of software development: i) separation of technology dependent concepts from the independent concepts, ii) automate the software development process, and iii) separation of domain, technology and technological concerns to avoid the confusions because of the combinati...

New products that deliver added consumer value contribute significantly to the success of companies. In the numerous studies of new product performance over the years, consensus has developed that understanding consumer needs is of paramount strategic value, especially in the early stages of the product development process. During these early stages, the product has not yet been specified and t...
