Bununla birlikte savunma sanayi sektöründe etkin bir biçimde yürütülen TZY, işletmelerin rakipleri karşısında rekabet avantajı elde etmesi açısından oldukça önemlidir. Bu araştırma kapsamında 'savunma sanayi sektöründe TZY yazılımlarının talep yönetimine etkileri' araştırılmıştır. TZY ile ilgili temel kavramlar, süreçleri ve bileşenleri araştırma kapsamında incelenmiştir. TZY'ni uygulayan işletmelerin kullandıkları kaynak planlama sistemleri ve TZY yazılımları ile ilgili bilgi verilmiştir. Gelişen bilgi teknolojileri sayesinde yazılımların TZY süreçlerine etkileri; savunma sanayi sektöründe faaliyet gösteren üç farklı işletme ile yapılan derinlemesine mülakatlar ile araştırılmıştır. Yapılan bu nitel araştırma sonucunda farklı kurumsal yapılara sahip, işletme içi süreçleri birbirinden farklı çalışan işletmelerde kullanılan TZY yazılımlarının, talep yönetimi sürecine etkileri gözlemlenmiştir. Sonuç olarak işletmeler; var oldukları pazarda farkındalık yaratmak ve rakipleri karşısında avantajlı duruma geçmek için TZY'yi benimsemeli ve işletme kültürü haline getirmelidirler. Bu aşamada mutlaka teknolojiyi yakından takip etmeli ve ortaya çıkan yenilikleri kendi TZY süreçlerine adapte etmelidirler. İşletmelerin bu doğrultuda yapacağı hamleler, işletme yönetimine pozitif katkı sağlayarak, işletmelerin sürekliliği büyüyerek sağlanmış olacaktır. Yapılan araştırmanın TZY literatürüne bir katkı sağlaması ve Tedarik Zinciri Yönetimde kullanılan yazılımların önemini anlayan işletmeler ve araştırmacılar için konuyu biraz daha anlaşılır bir duruma getirmesi umulmaktadır.

Accordingly, various studies are being done to provide guidelines for curriculum design. The main focus of these guidelines is around core and foundation courses. This paper summarizes the current problems of software engineering education programs. It also proposes some important dimensions as integral parts of software engineering education: interdisciplinary skills, practice experience, communication, skills on continuing education and professionalism. In the current guidelines and studies these dimensions are not addressed specifically. Although there could be other dimensions to be considered in software engineering education, we believe that the proposed ones are very crucial as software engineering is evolving more rapidly than any other engineering discipline. This study also provides a survey of some major universities' undergraduate software engineering programs to evaluate these dimensions.Article Citation - WoS: 20Citation - Scopus: 25Detecting Latent Topics and Trends in Software Engineering Research Since 1980 Using Probabilistic Topic Modeling(Ieee-inst Electrical Electronics Engineers inc, 2022) Gurcan, Fatih; Dalveren, Gonca Gokce Menekse; Cagiltay, Nergiz Ercil; Soylu, AhmetThe landscape of software engineering research has changed significantly from one year to the next in line with industrial needs and trends. Therefore, today's research literature on software engineering has a rich and multidisciplinary content that includes a large number of studies; however, not many of them demonstrate a holistic view of the field. From this perspective, this study aimed to reveal a holistic view that reflects topics, trends, and trajectories in software engineering research by analyzing the majority of domain-specific articles published over the last 40 years. This study first presents an objective and systematic method for corpus creation through major publication sources in the field. A corpus was then created using this method, which includes 44 domain-specific conferences and journals and 57,174 articles published between 1980 and 2019. Next, this corpus was analyzed using an automated text-mining methodology based on a probabilistic topic-modeling approach. As a result of this analysis, 24 main topics were found. In addition, topical trends in the field were revealed. Finally, three main developmental stages of the field were identified as: the programming age, the software development age, and the software optimization age.Article Citation - WoS: 6Citation - Scopus: 8Software Size Measurement: Bridging Research and Practice(Ieee Computer Soc, 2024) Hacaloglu, Tuna; Unlu, Huseyin; Yildiz, Ali; Demirors, OnurThis study investigates the limited adoption of functional size measurement methods in the software development industry. Using insights from firms experienced in size measurement, it aims to uncover industry expectations and facilitate the translation of theoretical methodologies into practical applications.Article Citation - WoS: 20Citation - Scopus: 26Simplified software inspection process in compliance with international standards(Elsevier Science Bv, 2009) Mishra, Deepti; Mishra, AlokA 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.

This ongoing problem makes co-op education inevitable, as it combines industrial experience with traditional education.Review Citation - WoS: 3Citation - Scopus: 9An Empirical Evaluation of Software Quality Assurance Practices and Challenges in a Developing Country: a Comparison of Nigeria and Turkey(Springer international Publishing Ag, 2016) Sowunmi, Olaperi Yeside; Mısra, Sanjay; Misra, Sanjay; Fernandez-Sanz, Luis; Crawford, Broderick; Soto, Ricardo; Mısra, Sanjay; Computer Engineering; Computer EngineeringBackground: The importance of quality assurance in the software development process cannot be overemphasized because its adoption results in high reliability and easy maintenance of the software system and other software products. Software quality assurance includes different activities such as quality control, quality management, quality standards, quality planning, process standardization and improvement amongst others. The aim of this work is to further investigate the software quality assurance practices of practitioners in Nigeria. While our previous work covered areas on quality planning, adherence to standardized processes and the inherent challenges, this work has been extended to include quality control, software process improvement and international quality standard organization membership. It also makes comparison based on a similar study carried out in Turkey. The goal is to generate more robust findings that can properly support decision making by the software community. The qualitative research approach, specifically, the use of questionnaire research instruments was applied to acquire data from software practitioners. Results: In addition to the previous results, it was observed that quality assurance practices are quite neglected and this can be the cause of low patronage. Moreover, software practitioners are neither aware of international standards organizations or the required process improvement techniques; as such their claimed standards are not aligned to those of accredited bodies, and are only limited to their local experience and knowledge, which makes it questionable. The comparison with Turkey also yielded similar findings, making the results typical of developing countries. The research instrument used was tested for internal consistency using the Cronbach's alpha, and it was proved reliable. Conclusion: For the software industry in developing countries to grow strong and be a viable source of external revenue, software assurance practices have to be taken seriously because its effect is evident in the final product. Moreover, quality frameworks and tools which require minimum time and cost are highly needed in these countries.Conference Object Information System Process Improvement: a Managerial Perspective and Proposal of a General Framework(2006) Mishra,A.; Mishra,D.; Akman,I.System process improvement is a continuous strategy in organizations for reducing overall cost, shortening cycle times, and improve quality and user satisfaction. There are various models like Capability Maturity Model (CMM), ISO, etc. available to measure process improvement. However management role is vital for effective process improvement implementation strategy. This paper briefly presents an assessment of all the factors which, if taken care by the management effectively, can ensure success in information system process improvement and proposes a general 2-stage framework for process improvement. The framework presents stochastic simulation model which is tailored to the dynamics of software projects, and which takes management plan and individual processes as input to show how simulation can be used to achieve effective project management.Article Citation - WoS: 1Citation - Scopus: 1A Cognitive Model for Meetings in the Software Development Process(Wiley, 2014) Misra, Sanjay; Akman, IbrahimMeetings are at the heart of the software development process (SDP) and can be of different types. The present article first proposes an abstract cognitive model for meetings, which represents how different types of meetings are affected by cognitive activities at different stages within the SDP. Second, and based on the analysis of meetings at different stages of SDP, it proposes the removal of such meetings from some of the stages within the program by using a cognitive evaluation model for meetings and their replacement, instead, with information and communication technology tools and techniques by means of a cognitive evaluation model. The abstract cognitive model and the evaluation model are validated empirically through experimentation, carried out through a detailed analysis of a target group composed of information technology professionals.

DevOps is one of the proposed solutions to such pressure. The primary focus of DevOps is to increase the deployment speed, frequency and quality. DevOps is a mixture of different developments and operations to its multitudinous ramifications in software development industries, DevOps have attracted the interest of many researchers. There are considerable literature surveys on this critical innovation in software development, yet, little attention has been given to DevOps impact on software quality. This research is aimed at analyzing the implications of DevOps features on software quality. DevOps can also be referred to a change in organization cultures aimed at removal of gaps between the development and operations of an organization. The adoption of DevOps in an organization provides many benefits including quality but also brings challenges to an organization. This study presents systematic mapping of the impact of DevOps on software quality. The results of this study provide a better understanding of DevOps on software quality for both professionals and researchers working in this area. The study shows research was mainly focused in automation, culture, continuous delivery, fast feedback of DevOps. There is need of further research in many areas of DevOps (for instance: measurement, development of metrics of different stages to assess its performance, culture, practices toward ensuring quality assurance, and quality factors such as usability, efficiency, software maintainability and portability).
