This thesis focuses on the development of a distributed software project planning tool that enables more than one participant to prepare the different parts of the project scope, schedule and task assignment by allowing to utilize the predefined organizational level processes. For this purpose, we discuss the need for a distributed software project planning tool, identify tool requirements and compare available tools with respect to the requirements. In addition, we evaluate the tool based on two criteria: first one is the tool2s adequacy to meet the identified functional attributes and the second one is the validation of the tool by utilizing the data of the project schedule of a real project. This tool enables preparation of project scope, schedule and task assignments in a more effective, accurate and seamless way.

This thesis is about software project scheduling and use of earned value method on software projects. As a result of the study, a solution for software project scheduling problems is proposed. A mathematical formulation, developed using integer programming method, is at the heart of the solution. Objective of the formulation is to minimize the development costs consisting of direct labor cost, indirect costs and probable penalty costs. The formulation takes the capability and compatibility variances among r...

An Automated defect detection approach for cosmic functional size measurement
Yılmaz, Gökçen; Demirörs, Onur; Department of Information Systems (2012)
Software size measurement provides a basis for software project management and plays an important role for its activities such as project management estimations, process benchmarking, and quality control. As size can be measured with functional size measurement (FSM) methods in the early phases of the software projects, functionality is one of the most frequently used metric. On the other hand, FSMs are being criticized by being subjective. The main aim of this thesis is increasing the accuracy of the measu...
Improvement proposal for a software requirements management process
Yamaç, Pınar Işıl; Bilgen, Semih; Department of Information Systems (2006)
This thesis focuses on measurement based software process improvement, especially improvement of requirements change management process. The literature on software measurement is investigated, software process improvement methodologies are studied and requirements change management metrics are examined. Requirements change management process at a private company working in the defense industry is observed and metrics obtained from various tools have been aggregated. Moreover, an improvement proposal, which ...
