The adequate measurement of information system project success is yet an unsolved problem. By means of a qualitative empirical study, we analyze the way companies in Germany measure the success of their information system projects. We conducted 9 semi-structured expert interviews with project managers and other decision-makers to gather information about (1) their subjective views on and (2) th...

This paper proposes System Test Point (STP), a new metric for estimating system test effort. The proposed Metric encompasses various attributes, which affect testing effort and can be tailored to a specific project environment. A survey was conducted for expert ratings on the 12 identified attributes, which affect system testing. A Software package "RISK 4.0" was used to find the correlation be...

A three year ESPRIT project ProCure – is ultimately aiming to take a significant but achievable step forward in the application of available ICT to the Large Scale Engineering (LSE) construction industry. The ProCure consortium consists of 5 industrial partners supported by 4 associated research and expert partners. The project combines leading expertise from 3 member states to support ICT depl...

a successful software should be finalized with determined and predetermined cost and time. software is a production which its approximate cost is expert workforce and professionals. the most important and approximate software cost estimation (sce) is related to the trained workforce. creative nature of software projects and its abstract nature make extremely cost and time of projects difficult ...

Projects scheduling by the project portfolio selection, something that has its own complexity and its flexibility, can create different composition of the project portfolio. An integer programming model is formulated for the project portfolio selection and scheduling.Two heuristic algorithms, genetic algorithm (GA) and simulated annealing (SA), are presented to solve the problem. Results of cal...

The evaluation of the efficiency an investment project implemented in real economy is impossible without assessing its environmental implications. justification projects may apply modern specialized software. Such software products do not provide opportunity to fully automate preparation section business plan. authors believe that it wise introduce automation into development plan through appro...

Project-based learning-based student worksheets are the end result of this study's efforts to foster critical thinking among fifth graders. Analysis, Design, Development, Implementation, and Evaluation (ADDIE) is development model employed in research (Research Development). Tests surveys primary instruments here. The test designed measure skills graders, while survey used validate product asse...

Software metric-based estimation of project development effort is most often performed by expert judgment rather than by using an empirically derived model (although such may be used by the expert to assist their decision). One question that can be asked about these estimates is how stable are they with respect to characteristics of the development process and product? This stability can be ass...
