    Global Software Development and Quality Management: a Systematic Review
    (Springer-verlag Berlin, 2013) Mishra, Deepti; Mishra, Alok; Colomo-Palacios, Ricardo; Casado-Lumbreras, Cristina
    This paper presents a systematic literature review of global software development (GSD) and quality management aspects. The main focus is to highlight the current research and practice direction in these areas. The results have been limited to peer-reviewed conference papers and journal articles, published between 2000 and 2011. The analysis reports that major studies have been performed in quality and process management, while verification and validation issues of GSD can only get limited attention among researchers. This indicates the need for future research (quantitative and qualitative) in these areas.

    Simplified software inspection process in compliance with international standards
    (Elsevier Science Bv, 2009) Mishra, Deepti; Mishra, Alok
    A significant amount of software is developed all over the world by small and medium size software organizations. These organizations do not have enough infrastructures and resources to implement an austere quality plan. Software inspection is a fundamental component of the software quality assurance process. Formal review methods are rigorous and their implementation is cumbersome for small and medium enterprises. In this paper, we have presented a new simplified inspection process which is easy to implement. requires fewer resource and almost no documentation. Also, people who are conducting this inspection need not be present at the same place during most stages of the inspection process. We have also compared this process with IEEE and NASA standards for software inspection and found that it meets almost 99% of both standards. While there has been much research on inspection, little attention is paid towards compliance with international standards. These results could be used as a basis for further research in software inspection and process towards aligning with international standards. This process has been successfully implemented in a CMM level 3 software development organization which is striving to accomplish higher maturity levels to establish at the international level.

    Software Quality Issues in SCRUM: A Systematic Mapping
    (Graz Univ Technolgoy, inst information Systems Computer Media-iicm, 2018) Mishra, Deepti; Abdalhamid, Samia; Computer Engineering
    Scrum is a process framework used to develop complex software. As Scrum is one of the prominent approaches in agile development projects, it is significant to define the issues of quality in the Scrum method. In this paper, a systematic mapping approach is adopted to answer specific research questions through an objective procedure to identify the nature of quality issues in Scrum studies. For this purpose, a number of research studies are reviewed in electronic databases to find out about various quality issues related with Scrum. Here, the focus is on how these studies are affective in terms of defining such issues. A total of 53 research papers are examined in detail to answer nine research questions related to quality issues in Scrum. Finally, the responses to all research questions are provided along with suggestions to ensure quality in the Scrum. The results reveal that there is very limited research on people-related quality issues such as employee skills, satisfaction etc. However, process quality such as process effectiveness, conformity, visibility, acceptance etc. have received a lot of attention among researchers, whereas the product quality and project-related quality issues such as team performance, collaboration, etc. are also of interest among researchers.

    Measuring Project and Quality Aspects in Agile Software Development
    (Drunpp-sarajevo, 2012) Mishra, Deepti; Balcioglu, Eda; Mishra, Alok; Computer Engineering; Software Engineering
    Constructivism is a cognitive theory that emphasizes that learners construct new knowledge by rearranging and refining their existing knowledge. Agile :software development methods follows this approach of learning as software is developed in short iterations and agile team incorporated all new knowledge gained through feedbacks from preceeding iterations. Agile software development methods are different from traditional software development methods and therefore, metrics proposed for projects using traditional software development methods are not fit to use in agile software development projects. In this paper, new metrics are proposed that can measure the progress and quality of the Product in agile software development projects. The proposed metrics are also compared with existing agile metrics.
