Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractEstimation of the COCOMO Model Parameters Using Genetic Algorithms for NASA Software ProjectsAlaa F. ShetaDefining the project estimated cost, duration and maintenance effort early in the development life cycle is a valuable goal to be achieved for software projects. Many model structures evolved in the literature. These model structures consider modeling software effort as a function of the developed line of code (DLOC). Building such a function helps project managers to accurately allocate the … …Journal of Computer Science, Vol. 2, Issue 2 · 28 Feb 2006 · 9,357 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractQualitative Assessments of the Software Architectures of Configuration Management SystemsAbhay Kothari, A. K. Ramani, P. K. ChandeThe Configuration Management (CM) is a very important area of concentration in software development and maintenance processes. Quality parameters for Configuration Management Tools’ architectural designs require rigorous identification and measurement. Two methods for quantitative assessment of quality parameters of the software architectures are proposed. These methods are based upon modularization properties, like, cohesion type, coupling type, module complexity, module size … …Journal of Computer Science, Vol. 2, Issue 1 · 31 Jan 2006 · 6,812 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractMeasurement of Software Maintainability Using a Fuzzy ModelK. K. Aggarwal, Yogesh Singh, Pravin Chandra, Manimala PuriSoftware maintenance is a task that every development group has to face when the software is delivered to the customers' site, installed and is operational. The time spent and effort required for keeping software operational consumes about 40-70% of cost of entire life cycle. This study proposes a four parameter integrated measure of software maintainability using a fuzzy model. The … …Journal of Computer Science, Vol. 1, Issue 4 · 31 Dec 2005 · 6,957 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractTowards Autonomously Developed Software: A genetic Approach in Critical and Embedded SystemsDjamel Meslati, Saïd GhoulNowadays, we are still considering changes undergone by a software system as a sporadic phenomenon and we do not sufficiently anticipate future changes during the development phase. Consequently, many problems arise in the maintenance phase. In this study, we present an approach where all changes undergone by a software system are considered as its ontogenetic dimension. We represent this dimension … …Journal of Computer Science, Vol. 1, Issue 4 · 31 Dec 2005 · 6,191 accessesView PDFCite
