Refining Processes

Successful software systems development is a delicate balance among several distinct factors (Jalote, 2002) such as enabling people to grow professionally; documenting processes representing the gained experiences and knowledge of the organization members; using know how to apply the suitable processes to similar circumstances; and refining processes based on achieved experience. Software projects have two main dimensions: engineering and project management. The engineering dimension concerns the construction of a system, and focuses mainly on issues such as how to build a system. The project management dimension is in charge with properly planning and controlling the engineering activities to meet project goals for optimal cost, schedule, and quality. For a project, the engineering processes specify how to perform activities such as requirement specification, design, testing, and so on. The project management processes, on the other hand, specify how to set milestones, organize personnel, manage risks, monitor progress, and so on (Jalote, 2002). A software process may be defined as “a set of activities, methods, practices, and transformations that people use to develop and maintain software, and the associated products and artifacts.”1 This is pictorially depicted in Figure 1 (Donaldson & Siegel, 2000).

A vast amount of project management software is available today in a wide variety of capabilities, applicability, platform requirements, and prices. These software products significantly enhance the PM’s job of managing a project in almost all aspects, including selection, planning, scheduling, execution, control, risk, and communications. PMs should therefore be aware of the types of tools available and the features and applicability of those tools. In this chapter, types of software products and some specific products are identified and discussed.

The main objective of the electric power industry is to provide for uninterrupted and reliable operation of power systems in order to meet the demand for electric power. The introduction of digital technologies in the wholesale electricity and capacity market is aimed at improving the efficiency, safety and continuity of its operation. The author highlights the features of legal support of digitalization in the wholesale electricity and capacity market, and proposes the possibility of expansion of the experimental legal regime to the wholesale electricity and capacity market. Information security issues are considered taking into account the fact that market participants may suffer not only financial and reputational losses from the implementation of security threats, but also damage to the life and health of people, the environment and the market infrastructure. The author concludes that it is necessary to develop means of legal protection of interests of owners and users of electronic software systems, as well as legal regulation of automated actions carried out in the wholesale electricity and capacity market.

In the present time, software plays a vital role in business, governance, and society in general, so a continuous improvement of software productivity and quality such as reliability, robustness, etc. is an important goal of software engineering. During software development, a large amount of data is produced, such as software attribute repositories and program execution trace, which may help in future development and project management activities. Effective software development needs quantification, measurement, and modelling of previous software artefacts. The development of large and complex software systems is a formidable challenge which requires some additional activities to support software development and project management processes. In this scenario, data mining can provide a helpful hand in the software development process. This chapter discusses the application of data mining in software engineering and includes static and dynamic defect detection, clone detection, maintenance, etc. It provides a way to understand the software artifacts and processes to assist in software engineering tasks.

With the growth of technology, people and companies are more relying on software systems. For that, we need a product/software that is trustworthy, reliable, and economical. It should be maintainable, dependable and useable. If the software is developed with much accuracy, everything is being done by it as planned and the software is set to the market then the success rate will be high. But if there is any bug in the software then not only the software will fail but it will also affect the organizations that are responsible for making it. So the failure of software also has a great impact on the organization. In this research, we are going to present a detailed and critical analysis of all those causes due to which the software fails and the factors that hinder in a project success. We will study the existing software development processes and also analyze how they can helpful in reducing these causes.

This paper will present the context, objectives, challenges and innovative software development and project management techniques that enabled the building of a comprehensive oil accounting (OA) system. A major stage in the continuing development of OA components, completed in 2002, replaced an aging legacy system and added considerable functionality. Components are added to the OA system on a continuous basis The target result is an automated crude oil balancing and revenue accounting system that interfaces with other pipeline-management software systems. The challenge was to custom build and implement an OA system that: • Significantly reduces dependence on IS resource’s specialized skills. • Automates data validation between pipeline operations and management software systems. • Reduces turn-around time of the monthly invoice cycle. • Dramatically increases customer’s information availability and enhances information dissemination to customers. • Accommodates new business rules with minimal reconfiguration effort. The project management approach was to compress system development and delivery into predictable and controllable segments. These segments deliver complete components into the production environment at established milestones rather than as a whole system at a single “big-bang” event. The segmented delivery approach is known as SCRUM in the IT industry. It enabled the team to react effectively to changing business requirements throughout development. Additional techniques known as XP (Extreme Programming) were also utilized to greatly enhance the quality and predictability of system delivery. XP stresses very strong and committed client project involvement. This paper will outline the oil accounting system components and the SCRUM and XP techniques the project delivery team believes have significantly enhanced the success of the project. Due to the proven success of these techniques they are currently being used in several other IS projects including additions to the OA system. In summary, the project management and software system development approach, and stakeholder involvement secured the success of the OA system delivery. These approaches embody the philosophy of continuous improvement and superior quality in information system delivery.
