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 also simplifies collecting metrics, is presented for the requirements change management process. A tool is developed for evaluating the performance of the improvement proposal using event driven simulation method.

Apply Quantitative Management Now TARHAN, AYÇA; Demirörs, Onur (Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE), 2012-05-01) The Assessment Approach for Quantitative Process Management (A2QPM) helps identify software process measures for quantitative analysis even when organizations lack formal systems for process measurement. A2QPM is the first approach to quantitative management that offers software organizations a well-defined, detailed guideline for assessing their software processes and applying beneficial quantitative techniques to improve them. All the A2QPM applications we've described resulted in quantitative analysis im...
Measurement based software process improvement Ener, Aysun; Bilgen, Semih; Department of Electrical and Electronics Engineering (2007) This thesis is a study on improving the software requirements management processes of embedded software department of a company. The literature on software process improvement and requirements engineering is reviewed. After determining the problems related to the current requirements management processes of the department, an improved process is proposed addressing these problems. The static process descriptions and the models of the current and improved requirements management processes are formed. A recen...
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...
Management tool support for software aquisition and information systems outsourcing projects for Turkish land forces command Pınar, Adem; Bilgen, Semih; Department of Information Systems (2004) This thesis reviews the software acquisition models and management tools used for managing, tracking and planning the acquisition projects all around the world. Then the requirements of Turkish Land Forces Command (TLFC) for a project management tool are considered. Features of a project management tool that is suitable for TLFC are determined through the ideas of TLFC personnel of IS department. After evaluation of selected tools through the requirements of TLFC the best one is presented. Then an interface...
GSPA: a generic software process assessment tool Yürüm, Ozan Raşit; Demirörs, Onur; Department of Information Systems (2014) Performing process improvement to deliver the qualified products with expected cost on time has been a requirement for organization targeting to be successful in software market. Software organizations usually perform process improvement based on well-known process assessment frameworks such as CMMI and ISO 15504. As improvement needs diverge, a number of process assessment models such as Automotive SPICE, Enterprise SPICE, Brazilian Software Improvement, and Agile Maturity Model are derived. In addition, s...
