Article Citation - WoS: 1Citation - Scopus: 1Statistical Usage Testing at Different Levels of Testing(Graz Univ Technolgoy, inst information Systems Computer Media-iicm, 2018) Kaur, Kamaldeep; Khatri, Sunil Kumar; Mishra, Alok; Datta, Rattan; Software EngineeringStatistical Usage Testing (SUT) is the testing technique defined in Cleanroom Software Engineering model [Runeson, 93]. Cleanroom Software Engineering model is a theory based and team oriented model that is based on development and certification of software in increments using statistical quality control [Linger 96]. SUT is a black box testing technique and concentrates on how the software completes its required function from the user's perspective [Runeson, 93]. SUT is carried out by developing usage models and assigning usage probabilities. Testing is carried out on usage models by performing statistical tests which are random sequences [Trammel 95]. Statistical testing can be viewed as a statistical experiment where random test cases are selected from all the usage models [Trammel 95]. This paper demonstrates the process and benefits of applying SUT at different levels of testing. Levels of testing include Unit level, Integration level, System level and Acceptance level. SUT is generally performed at System level and Unit testing is not the part of SUT. Unit testing makes it easier to access code and debug human errors. Detecting errors at an early stage helps reducing cost and effort. The paper proposes to allow Unit testing in Cleanroom Software Engineering Model, thus making it more flexible and suitable for varied applications. Unit testing is essentially performed to ensure that the code is working correctly and meets the user specifications [istqb, 15]. Errors may also exist when modules are integrated because of interchange of data and control information between various modules. Integration testing is performed when the modules are combined together to check their behaviour and functionality after integration. Once the Integration testing phase gets successfully completed, System testing is performed on the whole system [test-institute, 15]. The paper makes use of Student record software to demonstrate the process of performing SUT at different levels. In addition to performing SUT at System level, this paper helps in understanding the advantages of applying SUT at Unit level and Integration level.Article Citation - WoS: 3Citation - Scopus: 13Green Information Technology/Information System Education: Curriculum Views(Drunpp-sarajevo, 2012) Mishra, Alok; Yazici, Ali; Mishra, Deepti; Computer Engineering; Software EngineeringGreen information technology (Green IT) is an emerging discipline and issues related with it are of growing concern for the business, social and environmental impact in the 21st century. Sustainability is becoming an important topic in IT to safeguard our future, and as evolving market segment. Recently more specific focus on "greening" information technology (IT) and information systems (IS) has been evident all over the world. An increase in green jobs is also occurring with many of those associated with information technology. The main constraint with green jobs related with IT or otherwise, is finding educated and qualified professionals. Due to this, there is a growing demand for green computing/information technology/information system education. The objective of this paper is to review such an available green IT/IS curriculum recently introduced by leading universities and organizations.Article Citation - WoS: 4Citation - Scopus: 3A Legal Business Information System: Implementation Process Context(Budapest Tech, 2011) Mishra, Alok; Mishra, Deepti; Computer Engineering; Software EngineeringInformation Technology (IT) is fast becoming useful in implementing time, case, manpower and cost management strategies within judicial services. The legal system environment has adopted IT not just to save costs and time but also to give organizations a competitive edge and to ensure security as well. The Legal Business Information System is a fully operational and integrated system for a legal department. The mission of the department is to provide innovative and quality services in insolvency and trustee matters. Very few legal business information system implementations are documented in literature. Therefore this paper will facilitate understanding of system implementation in this sector.Article Citation - WoS: 6Citation - Scopus: 7Teaching Software Verification and Validation Course: a Case Study(Tempus Publications, 2014) Mishra, Deepti; Hacaloglu, Tuna; Mishra, Alok; Computer Engineering; Software Engineering; Information Systems EngineeringSoftware verification and validation (V & V) is one of the significant areas of software engineering for developing high quality software.

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.Article Citation - WoS: 6Citation - Scopus: 7Predictive Effect of Gender and Sector Differences on Internet Usage Among Employees(Kaunas Univ Technol, 2010) Akman, Ibrahim; Mishra, Alok; Software Engineering; Computer EngineeringInternet has become the foundation for the world's new information infrastructure. This impact could be attributed to the Internet's universal access to information as well as its applications in all walks of life. Various services of the Internet and tools (chat rooms, e-mails, etc.) provide users with a wide range of benefits. In their study, Colley and Maltby (2008) indicated that one important research area over the last decade has been the impact of the Internet upon different social groups in the society. The differences in various aspects of Internet usage across demographic groups have also become an interesting research area (Yang and Tung, 2007; Jaeger, 2003) because demographic attributes were found to influence individuals' actions before they engage in a given behaviour (Ajzen and Fishbein, 1980; Zhang, 2005; Jaeger, 2003). Zhang (2005) reported that although studies of computer and Internet attitudes are abundant, the majority of these researches use college students (Zhang, 2005; Hwang et al., 2006; Li and Kirkup, 2007; Chen, 2008) or ordinary citizens (Fisher and Jacob, 2006; Fang and Yen, 2006; Colley and Maltby, 2008) as samples. However, employee populations constitute one of the largest groups and play a very important role in the adoption of new technologies. Additionally, employees' use of Internet services may show entirely different patterns than other groups in the society (Jin et al., 2007). Furthermore, the basic concepts of the Internet have been developed in the Western World and most of the empirical research focusing on Internet usage is either US/EU or Far East based (Teo and Lim, 2000; Usiner, 2005). Although they cover very valuable territory and provide useful insights that can provide direction in the examination of the issues from a global perspective, the results of these studies may not be applicable to other parts of the world due to the existence of social and economic differences (Bertot, McClure and Owens, 1999; Zhang, 2005). Nowadays, there is a growing divide between Western countries and the developing countries and, comparatively, very little has been researched in the field of ICT in the latter. Keeping these in view, the present study was undertaken to investigate the predictive effect of employees' gender and sector in their Internet usage and purpose of using the Internet. For the purpose of this study, "public sector" refers to national government departments and "private sector" comprises private corporations (Akman et al., 2005). Here, it is important to note that institutions providing nonprofit public services (e. g. universities, local government, etc.) have been categorized as a public sector. Our study focused on employees from private and public sector organizations. A sample of employees was used for this purpose. The independent (decision) variables were gender and sector of employees. The dependent variables were categorized into two empirical factors: (i) usage profile (average daily use of Internet and reason for using Internet) and (ii) usage pattern (average daily use of Internet for communication services, average daily use of Internet for information services and average daily use of Internet for electronic services). For this purpose, a survey was conducted among employees from public and private sector organizations. Interestingly, the results indicated that gender and sector both have significant impact on average daily use of Internet for communication services. This impact is significant for gender on average daily use of Internet for information services and for sector on average daily use of Internet. Another interesting finding is that there is no significant predictive effect of gender and sector on the reason for using Internet.Editorial Citation - Scopus: 1Quality and Reliability Engineering: Trends and Future Directions(Graz Univ Technolgoy, inst information Systems Computer Media-iicm, 2018) Mishra, Alok; Khatri, Sunil Kumar; Kapur, P. K.; Kumar, Uday; Software Engineering[No Abstract Available]Article Citation - WoS: 2Citation - Scopus: 8It Service Management (itsm) Education and Research: Global View(Tempus Publications, 2015) Yazici, Ali; Mishra, Alok; Kontogiorgis, Paul; Software EngineeringThis article provides an overview of Information Technology Service Management (ITSM) and investigates the education and research activities in this discipline from a global perspective. The objectives of the study are to inform the training organizations (e.g., universities, training institutes) on the current status of the educational activities in ITSM at undergraduate and graduate levels; and to guide the researchers by providing quantitative data on the research activities conducted in the field. In the educational arena, the statistical data showed that, stand-alone undergraduate/graduate programs are becoming popular among the high school graduates with elevated expectations of the market place, in addition to the appreciation of the IT service management area by the IT sector and the public. The results of the research findings provide guidelines for curriculum developers in the design and implementation of courses for the de facto interdisciplinary ITSM degree/certificate training programs and motivate and guide the researchers by providing the most recent quantitative data on the ITSM field. It is one of the first studies to provide education and research trends in ITSM area. The present study adds to this important stream of emerging research area and contributes by advancing the understanding of ITSM education and research issues. This paper advances the current state of knowledge on ITSM education and explores recent research trends in this area which is becoming standard towards providing quality IT services in enterprises.Article Citation - WoS: 5Citation - Scopus: 11Erp Project Implementation: Evidence From the Oil and Gas Sector(Budapest Tech, 2011) Mishra, Alok; Mishra, Deepti; Computer Engineering; Software EngineeringEnterprise Resource Planning (ERP) systems provide integration and optimization of various business processes, which can lead to improved planning and decision quality, and a smoother coordination between business units, resulting in higher efficiency and a quicker response time to customer demands and inquiries.
