    Challenges of using software size in agile software development: A systematic literature review
    (CEUR-WS, 2018) Hacaloglu,T.; Demirors,O.
    Software size is a fundamental measure for software management. Size is used for a variety of purposes, such as benchmarking, normalization, and portfolio measurement, and it is frequently considered as the sole input of estimation. Estimations can be produced for various reasons; e.g., to predict effort, cost and duration of software development projects. There are different types of software size measures. Particularly in projects where agile methodologies are adopted, measurement becomes a significant challenge as it is perceived as a non-value-added task and records of tasks such as requirements identification are not always consistent. The difficulties of applying traditional size measurement techniques in agile contexts, however, do not diminish the need, and new methods and techniques are introduced to improve the manageability of the agile projects. In this paper, we discuss estimation and measurement approaches in relation with ―software size in agile contexts. Based on this review, we present the perceptions of software size and related challenges, such as misinterpretation of size, difficulties in implementation, and acceptability of the measurement processes. We anticipate that providing a baseline for the state of software size measures in agile contexts and presenting related challenges, particularly in terms of its acceptability by practitioners can shed light on the development of new techniques. © 2018 CEUR-WS.

    A Case Study on Measuring Course Learning Outcomes in Software Engineering Education;
    (CEUR-WS, 2017) Karakaya,M.; Turhan,C.; Yazici,A.
    One of the most critical outcomes in the MÜDEK accreditation system which plays an important role in the evaluation and assessment of the quality of education in higher education institutions is evaluating how much students have achieved the course outcomes. This study aims to compare two methods utilized to measure course outcomes in the Software Engineering department of Atilim University. In the most general sense, these two methods are based on indirect and direct measurement techniques. The results of the analysis show a high degree of differentiation between the direct measurement and indirect measurement results. In light of the results obtained, some recommendations have been offered for course outcome assessment methods to be developed in the scope of MÜDEK accreditation.
