In this context, the determination of India and Ireland’s industrial and national software strategies and the results and achievement evaluations in application case are accomplished. In consequence of related assessments, Turkish software industry is analyzed and future oriented suggestions are presented via taking into account country dynamics. In theoretical perspective, Indian, Irish and Turkish software industries are analyzed on the basis of Richard Heeks’ “Software Strategies in Developing Countries” model with appropriate approaches. Beyond, in this study, which is commenced on the basis of three countries, division of labor of global software industry will be analyzed in “core and periphery” framework and the suggestions will be presented to developing countries on their national software industries. The findings of the study indicate that, countries which have advanced national software industries keep high value added phases in their home countries, however outsource low value added phases of software development projects to developing countries because of workforce cost, qualified human resources, tax incentives, geographical market position etc. advantages.

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...
