  1. Ph.D. seminar for the software engineering groupSEVO - project Anita Gupta anitaash@idi.ntnu.no Norwegian University of Science and Technology 23rd November 2004

  2. Agenda • Presentation of the projects: SJEF, SITT and EIAO • Goals and metrics • Research methods • Research questions (temporary) • Related work • Future work • Discussion

  3. SJEF • Statoil have called their project for “SJEF”, and SJEF is a new reference architecture which is meant to become the basis for all new software systems. • Issues: • to evaluate the cost efficiency in development, integration and deployment of new systems using SJEF (vision vs reality). • to evaluate the possibilities for reuse (buy vs develop) with SJEF.

  4. SITT • Teleca have called their project for “SITT” and the focus in this project is on simplistic solutions. • Issues are: • how to link Bugzilla (used for bug tracking) to CVS (used for configuration management). • data amount/classifications vs. scalability and simplicity.

  5. EIAO • Høyskolen i Agder have called their project for “EIAO” (European Internet Accessibility Observatory), and the project is about web evolution. • Automatic assessment of website accessibility (ROBACC tool). • Issues • Goals and metrics both for ROBACC tool and web evolution.

  6. Goals and metrics • Come up with goals and software metrics (GQM approach), which will be helpful for the projects. • Come up with goals and software metrics (GQM approach) that will be helpful for us to collect some data on evolution and maybe see some similarities/differences between these projects.

  7. Research methods • For these 3 projects: Case study, we are going to collect data from the project. • For other possible projects: Experiment and data mining.

  8. Reserach questions (temporary) • What impact does software evolution has on quality attributes and on software processes? • Are there any similarities/differences between the projects? • What improvements issues are there, and what does it takes to handle these improvements? • How can software evolution improve some of the software processes?

  9. Related work • A student has made a summery over the topic of software evolution. He has done a study of changes (evolution) of different software architectures of 2-3 big industrial systems. The emphasize is on identifying the most important factors which can explain and maybe predict such evolution.

  10. Future work • Establish relations to other companies. • Next semester maybe perform an experiment in the subject ”Software architecture”. • Maybe combine software evolution with the systems the hospitals are using to perform their work. • Maybe combine software evolution with expansion of financial or other systems in Norway.

  11. Discussion • Which goals and software metrics could be useful for collecting data on software evolution? • Are there other research methods that I should be aware of, especially with respect to collecting data on software evolution? • Should I have any other research questions with respect to software evolution and possible software process improvement?
