The aim of this study was to analyse how an IT helpdesk service can be improved in order to align with the organisation’s expectations. The study was conducted as a case study of an IT helpdesk service during spring 2013. The data collection combined a quantitative analysis of event logs data for a two-year period, with a qualitative approach conducting observations and ten interviews. The result showed that the quality issues arose from two main areas; resolution time of requests and professionalism of IT staff. The quality issues are, according to both the quantitative and qualitative analysis, caused by high workload for one of the IT department’s teams and high expectations of the organisation.

  • Quality Engineering in The
    QUALITY ENGINEERING IN THE NEW A vision and R&D update from Accenture Labs and Accenture Testing Services QUALITY ENGINEERING WITH BUSINESS PURPOSE In recent years, traditional approaches to application testing have been significantly disrupted with the advent of DevOps and intelligent automation, as well as proliferation of digital applications. As delivery timelines have shrunk from months to weeks and now days, testing has shifted both left and right in the software development lifecycle. DevOps and agile have merged development and testing into a single continuous activity. Testing has evolved to quality engineering that begins upfront as part of initial application planning and establishes a continuous feedback loop to anticipate and act on the unknown. But to truly understand the scale of evolution from testing to quality engineering, we need to recognize how data has changed software development itself. The power of data goes well beyond fueling automation use cases and AI learning datasets for repetitive development and testing tasks. The massive amounts of data users generate every day is now elevating quality engineers to predict risk, identify opportunities, increase speed and agility and minimize technical debt. With this vast influx of data, the quality engineer’s role has become far more exciting but also complex. It will further evolve as we move towards AI, edge computing and the massive IoT end datasets which require machine-to-machine (M2M) communications with complete autonomy and failsafe protection. Accenture has long been at the forefront of testing innovation, and now we are leading our clients into the world of quality engineering at scale.

These seminars focus on large global issues – energy and its utilization, food and hunger, disease and healthcare delivery and the NAE Grand Challenges. Each is led by two faculty from disparate departments who expose the students to the complexity of the problem using a number of disciplinary perspectives. Students develop information literacy, effective writing and speaking skills, while working in teams on short assignments. For the final project student teams work with faculty supervision to analyze some aspect of the problem and/or develop a partial solution. The seminars culminate in a Project presentation day where all student groups present a poster on their work. We have assessment data that show that the courses achieve their desired outcomes. The special session will review the motivation to create these courses and provide information about course organization and logistics. Participants will review student projects, discuss the preparation required, and determine

  • 17 Introducing the Goal-Question-Metric Approach to Telecommunications Software Development: the PITA Experiment
    17 Introducing the Goal-Question-Metric approach to telecommunications software development: the PITA experiment V. Sylaidis, I. Nanakis, V Kopanas INTRACOMS.A. P.O. Box 68, 19002 Peania, Attika, Greece phone:(+ 30-1) 6860876, fax:(+ 30-1) 6860887 E-mail : {vsyl, inan, vkop}@intranet.gr Abstract This paper describes the experience of introducing the Goal-Question-Metric approach for software development process metrication to INTRACOM's Software Design Centre, based on the AMI methodology. This process improvement experiment, named PIT A, was supported by EU funds as an ESSI project (proj. no. 21305). The main objective was to provide a comprehensive and relevant frame of measurements to enable software developers to control and eventually improve the processes they employ, thus ensuring consistently high-quality products. The approach involved a formal CMM assessment and derivation /introduction of systematic measurements at project and organisational level, based on goal­ tree analysis.

This trend can be justified in the context of systematic efforts to overcome the persisting software crisis, which is manifested by phenomena such as budget and schedule overruns, low quality and reliability and in general high cost of quality for software.

  • ABSTRACT This Chapter Introduces the Generally Accepted Knowledge
    AN OVERVIEW OF SOFTWARE QUALITY CONCEPTS AND MANAGEMENT ISSUES ABSTRACT This chapter introduces the generally accepted knowledge on software quality that has been included in the (SWEBOK) Software Engineering Body of Knowledge (ISOTR19759-05). One chapter of the SWEBOK is dedicated to software quality (Apr05). It argues that ethics play an important role in applying the quality models and the notions of cost of quality for software engineers. It also describes the minimal content required in a software quality assurance plan. Finally an overview of what to expect in the upcoming international standards on software quality requirements, which transcend the life cycle processes of all IT processes, is presented. Keywords: Capability Maturity Model1, cost of quality, software quality requirements, software product quality, software quality measurement, software quality improvement, software quality fundamentals, software quality. INTRODUCTION The business value of a software product results from its quality as perceived by both acquirers and end-users. Therefore, quality is increasingly seen as a critical attribute of software, since its absence results in financial loss as well as dissatisfied users, and may even endanger lives. For example, Therac- 25, a computer-driven radiation system, seriously injured and killed patients by massive overdosing (Lev93). Improving recognition of the importance of setting software quality requirements and of assessing quality causes a shift in the ‘center of gravity’ of software engineering from creating technology-centered solutions to satisfying stakeholders. Software acquisition, development, maintenance and operations organizations confronted with such a shift are, in general, not adequately equipped to deal with it. Until recently, they did not have at their disposal the quality models or 1 Capability Maturity Model and CMM are registered trademarks in the U.S.
