Today’s Computer Aided Software Engineering (CASE) technology covers nearly all activities in software development ranging from requirement analysis to deployment.Organizations are evaluating CASE tool solutions to automate or ease their processes. While reducing human errors, these tools also increase control, visibility and auditability of the processes. However, to achieve these benefits, the right tool or tools should be selected for usage in the intended processes. This is not an easy task when the vast number of tools in the market is considered. Failure to select the right tool may impede project’s progress besides causing economic loss. In this thesis study, a methodology is proposed for CASE tool evaluation and selection among various candidates and the points that separate this work from similar studies in the literature are explained. Moreover, the methodology is performed on a case study.

Effect of some software design patterns on real time software performance Ayata, Mesut; Bilgen, Semih; Department of Information Systems (2010) In this thesis, effects of some software design patterns on real time software performance will be investigated. In real time systems, performance requirements are critical. Real time system developers usually use functional languages to meet the requirements. Using an object oriented language may be expected to reduce performance. However, if suitable software design patterns are applied carefully, the reduction in performance can be avoided. In this thesis, appropriate real time software performance metri...
A metrics-based approach to the testing process and testability of object-oriented software systems Yurga, Tolga; Doğru, Ali Hikmet; Department of Information Systems (2009) This dissertation investigates the factors that affect testability and testing cost of object- oriented software systems. Developing a software program which eases the testing process by increasing testability is crucial. Also, to assess whether or not the testing effort and cost consumed or planned is adequate or not is another critical matter this dissertation aims to answer by composing a new way to evaluate the links between software design parameters and testing effort via source-based metrics. An auto...
E-cosmic: a business process model based functional size estimation approach Kaya, Mahir; Demirörs, Onur; Department of Information Systems (2010) The cost and effort estimation of projects depend on software size. A software product size is needed at as early a phase of the project as possible. Conventional Early Functional Size Estimation methods generate size at the early phase but result in subjectivity and unrepeatability due to manual calculation. On the other hand, automated Functional Size Measurement calculation approaches require constructs which are available in considerably late software development phases. In this study we developed an ap...
Environment generation tool for enabling aspect verification Aldanmaz, Şenol Lokman; Betin Can, Aysu; Department of Information Systems (2010) Aspects are units of aspect oriented programming developed for influencing the software behavior. In order to use an aspect confidently in any software, first it should be verified. For verification of an aspect, the mock classes for the original software should be prepared. These mock classes are a model of the aspect environment which the aspect is woven. In this study, considering that there are not enough tools for supporting the aspect oriented programming developers, we have developed a tool for enabl...
Process based information systems evaluation: Towards the attributes of "pRISE" Özkan Yıldırım, Sevgi; Bilgen, Semih (2007-10-31) Purpose The purpose of this paper is to demonstrate the importance of undertaking a systemic view of information systems evaluation that augments the frequently reported prescriptive (cost/benefit) analysis approaches. Design/methodology/approach The paper adopts a qualitative case perspective and derives a framework for substantive information systems evaluation factors (PRISE). Three empirical formulations are considered and a comparison made to determine the content and context of the findings. Finding...
