Dilber, Başak
Since management is an abstract concept, modeling or simulating software development projects is not exactly possible. Thus successful software project development and the factors affecting it have been popular fields of research for the last half century. The aim of this qualitative grounded theory study is to bring out the essence of the experience of people working as software developers in a specific organization operating in Turkey; to come up with a set of principles explaining the main success factors for managers and software development teams.

Development of a library for automated verification of UML models
Çelik, Makbule Filiz; Koçyiğit, Altan; Department of Information Systems (2006)
Software designs are mostly modeled as Unified Modeling Language (UML) diagrams when object oriented software development is concerned. Some popular topics in the industry such as Model Driven Development, generating test cases automatically in the early phases of software development, automated generation of code from design model etc. use the benefits of UML designs. All of these topics have something in common which is the need for accuracy against the meta-model not to face problems in the latter phases...
Using collaboration diagrams in component oriented modelin
Tuncel, Mehmet Burhan; Doğru, Ali Hikmet; Department of Computer Engineering (2006)
Component Oriented Software Engineering (COSE) seems to be the future of software engineering. Currently, COSEML is the only modeling language that completely supports the COSE approach. Abstract decomposition of the system and their representing components are shown in a hierarchy diagram to support the COSE process model. In COSEML, only static modeling is supported through this single diagram. However, software is about behavior and static modeling is not sufficient to describe the system. The aim of thi...
Business process modelling based computer-aided software functional requirements generation
Su, M. Onur; Demirörs, Onur; Department of Information Systems (2004)
Problems of requirements which are identified in the earlier phase of a software development project can deeply affect the success of the project. Thus studies which aim to decrease these problems are crucial. Automation is foreseen to be one of the possible solutions for decreasing or removing some of the problems originating from requirements. This study focuses on the development and implementation of an automated tool that will generate requirements in natural language from business process models. In t...
Use of project similarity for software development time estimation
Taştekin, Semra Yilmaz; Bilgen, Semih; Erten, Murat; Department of Information Systems (2013)
Accurate development time estimation is crucial for project management in general, and critical for software intensive systems projects, in particular. Before beginning the project, little information is available for development details. Therefore, development time may not be estimated correctly. If data on previous projects in the same domain is available, this can be used for development time estimations. At the beginning of the project, requirements are defined and requirements specification document is...
Software project scheduling, software project performance measurement and control
Kanık, Yusuf; Koçyiğit, Altan; Department of Information Systems (2005)
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...
