Agile Software Development has gained popularity with their people centric view and their common practices for developing software in today’s volatile business world where change on requirements is unavoidable. However; the efficiency of the project depends on the communication and the collaboration of the team, which are supported by the co-location of the team. But in some cases colocation of the team cannot be realized, thus agile processes should also support distributed teams. This point was observed by Kircher, Jain, Corsaro, and Levine [31] and they suggested Distributed eXtreme Programming (DXP) after they prepared a study using offthe- shelf software products in order to replace the effect of face-toface communication on the efficiency of the application of agile processes with the aid gathered from tool support. In this study some available tool support for distributed agile software development is investigated and a tool is developed and presented in order to support software configuration management as well as increasing collaboration and communication of the team. The tool is then evaluated from a user’s perspective and it is compared with some available software configuration management tools.

Assessment of Agility in Software Organizations with a Web-Based Agility Assessment Tool Adali, Onat Ege; Özcan Top, Özden; Demirors, Onur (2017-09-01) Agile software development approaches have emerged to overcome the inherent challenges of the traditional software development methodologies. With that in mind, they offer a set of simple yet effective practices based on the values and supporting principles of the Agile Manifesto. Today, more and more organizations are practicing Agile but transitioning to Agile is not as straightforward as it might seem. The benefits afforded by the agile values, principles and practices are not fully obtained and adapters...
Evaluation of Agility Assessment Tools: A Multiple Case Study Adali, Onat Ege; Özcan Top, Özden; Demirors, Onur (2016-06-10) Agile software development has been one of the most important paradigms of software engineering community. Agile methods that are shaped around Agile Manifesto and principles, provide promising results when applied properly in software organizations. Agile assessment models and tools have potential to indicate agile adoption problems at project level or organization level. In the scope of this study, we identified 37 agility assessment tools. Among those tools, we evaluated 11 agility assessment tools based...
The effect of design patterns on object-oriented metrics and software error-proneness Aydınöz, Barış; Bilgen, Semih; Department of Electrical and Electronics Engineering (2006) This thesis study investigates the connection between design patterns, OO metrics and software error-proneness. The literature on OO metrics, design patterns and software error-proneness is reviewed. Different software projects and synthetic source codes have been analyzed to verify this connection.
Agile Maturity Self-Assessment Surveys: A Case Study Yürüm, Ozan Raşit; Demirörs, Onur (2017-09-01) Agile software development methodologies have been widely adopted by the software industry during the last decade. Agility assessment is an approach to measure the success of this adoption as well as to satisfy the further demands. In response, a number of agile maturity self-assessment surveys have been developed. However, software organizations do not widely utilize existing self-assessment surveys. In this study we aim to identify the existing surveys and evaluate their strengths and weaknesses in agilit...
Design and FPGA implementation of hash processor Şiltu, Çelebi Tuğba; Aşkar, Murat; Department of Electrical and Electronics Engineering (2007) In this thesis, an FPGA based hash processor is designed and implemented using a hardware description language; VHDL. Hash functions are among the most important cryptographic primitives and used in the several fields of communication integrity and signature authentication. These functions are used to obtain a fixed-size fingerprint or hash value of an arbitrary long message. The hash functions SHA-1 and SHA2-256 are examined in order to find the common instructions to implement them using same hardware blo...
