    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.

    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.
