Software maintenance is one of the main quality characteristics of the software product. The maintainability of a system is a measure of the ability of the system to undergo maintenance or to return to normal operation after a failure. In this paper, a new model to improve the maintainability of object-oriented software has been proposed. The proposed model is based on newer versions of softwar...

Component-based software development is becoming more generalized, representing a considerable market for the software industry. The perspective of reduced development costs and shorter life cycles acts as a motivation for this expansion. However, several technical issues remain unsolved before software component’s industry reaches the maturity exhibited by other component industries. Problems ...

As we know that the Software market is growing very fast. The main purpose of the most software producers is produce the software of very high Quality. Software quality is a multi-dimensional content which is easily distinguishable and measurable. Although the Quality of the software is dependent on Functional and Non Functional Requirement of the user. To determine this content more exact, the...

Software development is an area which is into action for the last fifteen to twenty years. As rapidly as the software development took place, with the same ratio the trend of analysing the code raised. Code smells are structural characteristics of software that may indicate a code or design problem that makes software hard to evolve and maintain, and may trigger refactoring of code. The presenc...

Improving software quality is a major concern in software development process. Despite all previous attempts to evolve software for quality improvement, these methods are neither scalable nor fully automatable. In this research we approach software evolution problem by reformulating it as a search problem. For this purpose, we applied software transformations in a form of GOF patterns to UML de...

Software testing should play a major role in the de nition and improvement of software development processes, because testing is the most precise, most easily measured and controlled part of the software lifecycle. However, unless testing goals are clearly related to true measurements of software quality, the testing may appear to improve, but the software will not. Much of current testing theo...

Metrics are an important technique in quantifying desirable software and software development characteristics of aspect oriented software development (AOSD). We give an overview on the necessary steps to validate definitions and applications of metrics. We also compare definitions for proposed metrics.In this paper, we emphasis that the OO software development quality metrics were significantly...

This paper suggests a systematic orderly process based approach to stating software quality objec tives and knowing if and when they have been achieved We suggest that quality in software is a complex multifaceted array of characteristics and that it is important to establish speci c objectives along various software quality dimensions as requirements for software quality assurance determinatio...

this study was conducted to investigate the effects of age and sex on the fleece characteristics of 40 iranian indigenous khorasan goats. goats were divided into two different sex and age (kids and adults) groups. fiber characteristics under study were: fleece weight, fiber length, lock length, fiber diameter, coefficient of fiber diameter, breaking load, resistance, elongation, hair percentage...

This paper presents a new methodology using graph theory and matrix algebra to analyze software architecture based on systems engineering approach. It proposes a set of analytical tool to capture the notion of structural model as the basis to analyze characteristics of software architecture. In the present work, architecture (structure) modeling and analysis of intelligent mobile learning envir...
