    Managing Requirements in Market-Driven Software Project: Agile Methods View
    (Univ Osijek, Tech Fac, 2010) Mishra, Deepti; Mishra, Alok; Computer Engineering; Software Engineering
    Time-to-market and insufficient initial requirements are two significant challenges that make managing requirements for market-driven software projects different from custom-made software projects. These challenges can be resolved by using agile software development methodologies for market-driven software development as agile methods put emphasis on a dynamic approach for requirement engineering which works closely with an iterative release cycle. In this study, dynamic requirement engineering approach of Agile methods was used for the successful implementation of market-driven complex software project.

    A Global Software Inspection Process for Distributed Software Development
    (Graz Univ Technolgoy, inst information Systems Computer Media-iicm, 2012) Mishra, Deepti; Mishra, Alok; Computer Engineering; Software Engineering
    Globally distributed software development is an established trend towards delivering high-quality software to global users at lower costs. The main expected benefits from distributed software development are improvements in development time efficiency, being close to the customers and having flexible access to greater and less costly resources. Organizations require to use their existing resources as effectively as possible, and also need to employ resources on a global scale from different sites within the organization and from partner organization throughout the world. However, distributed software development particularly face communication and coordination problems due to spatial, temporal and cultural separation between team members. Ensuring quality issues in such projects is a significant issue. This paper presents global software inspection process in the distributed software development environment towards quality assurance and management.

    Industry Oriented Advanced Software Engineering Education Curriculum
    (Fac Teacher Education, 2012) Mishra, Alok; Mishra, Deepti; Computer Engineering; Software Engineering
    Software engineering is the fastest-evolving engineering discipline and most of the tasks of software development organizations are diverse in nature. Various studies have shown that there is a wide gap between software industry needs and education for prospective software engineers. It is the responsibility of Software engineering education to prepare SE professionals by providing them with the skills to meet the expectations of the software industry. SE curriculum should correspond to the industry needs, and only then can Universities produce highly skilled professionals, who can meet the needs of software industry. During the last decade, software engineering education (SEE) has been emerging as an independent and mature discipline. Accordingly, various studies are being conducted to provide guidelines for SEE curriculum design. This paper summarizes the need for software industry related courses and discusses the significance of industry oriented software engineering education to meet the educational objectives of all stakeholders. The software industry oriented curriculum for undergraduate and graduate levels is discussed. An industry oriented graduate level (master's level) software engineering course which includes foundational and applied courses to provide effective training for future software engineers is also proposed. This will lead to an increase in their employment prospects in the industrial and allied sectors.

    Erp System Implementation in Fmcg Sector
    (Univ Osijek, Tech Fac, 2010) Mishra, Alok; Mishra, Deepti; Computer Engineering; Software Engineering
    Today's businesses have become extremely complex. Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) systems can help enterprises to reduce operating costs, generate more accurate forecasts of demand, accelerate production cycles and enhance customer service. This paper reports challenges, opportunities and outcome of ERP implementation in a top Fast Moving Consumer Goods (FMCG) house in South-East Asia with diversified interests in varied businesses. This study will facilitate the understanding of the transition, constraints and implementation of ERP in this sector and also provide guidelines from lessons learned in this regard to researchers and practising managers.
