Lump Sum

This article describes how entrepreneurs face critical risks in terms of quality control and knowledge management while outsourcing software development to independent service providers. First, it is recommended that lump-sum payment contracts should be avoided since software development project involves uncertainty. Instead, a variable payment contingent on observed quality can induce the service provider to exert optimal effort on the project. Second, entrepreneurs must not overlook the importance of providing economic incentives. They can protect their intellectual property by withholding critical knowledge and paying information rents in terms of higher than market wages to the service providers. Third, a startling result is that a low wage nation is not necessarily the optimal location to outsource software development projects. Thus, high wage-strong IPR nations might be chosen instead of low wage-weak IPR nations. Finally, the article explains the apparent paradox that software projects are often outsourced to locations that are characterized by weak intellectual property rights regime and high propensity of imitation.

Testing is an important phase of quality control in Software development. Software testing is necessary to produce highly reliable systems. The use of a model to describe the behavior of a system is a proven and major advantage to test. In this paper, we focus on model-based testing. The term model- based testing refers to test case derivation from a model representing software behavior. We discuss model-based approach to automatic testing of object oriented software which is carried out at the time of software development. We review the reported research result in this area and also discuss recent trends. Finally, we close with a discussion of where model-based testing fits in the present and future of software engineering.

This chapter introduces a model of “Problem refining + Paper presented + Project application + Software development + Patent declaration” on the basis of teaching practice and scientific research for many years. This is a mode of researching and practicing on engineering courses based on cloud computing. The main goal is to help students to understand and grasp the core technology of engineering courses. The employment situation of engineering graduates is very serious, while enterprise is lack of engineering employees that can be used. The reason lies in talent training problems. And this model can help us improve the teaching quality. In order to get the market recognition, meet the demands of the development of future work, and obtain competitive ability of quality control, the mode should be modeled and systematic.

Quality Process

This paper presents the process of measuring the level of quality control process to ensure the quality of delivered software package during the development cycle. The success of the project requires three pre-requisites and they constrain one another. Quality is the most important factor for successful project completion. In other words, quality should not be sacrificed for the sake of meeting cost budget or delivering within schedule. Also, cost caused by any quality issues such as defect resolution increases exponentially once the product is out of the door. Having said that, we also have to consider the schedule side of constraints for the successful project. In other words, we have no time to do a quality job and we have to compete with other competitors to ship the product to the market earlier than them. So, the quality measurement and management concept is introduced to meet the agile software development environment in conjunction with performance strategies to execute within organization. Obviously, there are many key performance indexes derivable from the actual data associated with quality control activities and it is desirable to create a quality process to integrally represent overall level of quality control activities performed while developing the software deliverables. With the quality process, it is possible to evaluate whether enough quality control activities are performed for the project officially and secure the quality of the software deliverables before it is delivered to the customers.
