Context: Understanding the types of software engineering practices and techniques used in the industry is important. There is a wide spectrum in terms of the types and maturity of software engineering practices conducted in each software team and company. Furthermore, it is important to understand the cross-factor relationship of software engineering practices and practitioner demographics including their companies and projects, e.g., is it the case that practitioners developing software for sectors such as military would utilize software size measurement approaches more, or use different software development methodologies, compared to practitioners developing software for other sectors?, and what kinds of practices are conducted by practitioners in small versus large companies?

A survey of software engineering practices in Turkey Garousi, Vahid; Coskuncay, AHMET; Betin Can, Aysu; DEMIRORS, ONUR (2015-10-01) Understanding the types of software engineering (SE) practices and techniques used in industry is important. There is a wide spectrum in terms of the types and maturity of SE practices conducted in industry. Turkey has a vibrant software industry and it is important to characterize and understand the state of its SE practices. Our objective is to characterize and grasp a high-level view on type of SE practices in the Turkish software industry. To achieve this objective, we systematically designed an online ...
A software workforce assessment model Tanrıöver, Ö. Özgür; Demirös, Onur; Department of Information Systems (2002) This thesis develops a software practitioner assessment model based on practices and roles defined in SW-CMM (Software Capability Maturity Model) [Paulk 1995] and knowledge units defined in SWEBOK (Software Engineering Body of Knowledge) [Hillburn et al. 1999] to assess emergent software organizations. The aim behind this model is to provide a remedy for the main shortcomings of current software process assessment methods: fully assessing process and technology but not people. Assessment model development i...
A survey of software testing practices in Canada Garousi, Vahid; Zhi, Junji (2013-05-01) Software testing is an important activity in the software development life-cycle. In an earlier study in 2009, we reported the results of a regional survey of software testing practices among practitioners in the Canadian province of Alberta. To get a larger nationwide view on this topic (across Canada), we conducted a newer survey with a revised list of questions in 2010. Compared to our previous Alberta-wide survey (53 software practitioners), the nation-wide survey had larger number of participants (246 ...
Modeling and code generation for a reference software architecture for naval platform command and control systems Turhan, Naﬁye Kübra; Oğuztüzün, Mehmet Halit S.; Department of Computer Engineering (2017) Many software teams who work in a particular domain develop software products compliant with a specific Reference Software Architecture. By adopting a Reference Software Architecture within an organization, software development schedule tend to shorten, efficiency of software development process and quality of software product tend to increase. Architectures of all application software that are developed by Sea Defense Systems Software Team are created based on a predefined Reference Software Architecture n...
Software test maturity assessment and test process improvement: A multivocal literature review Garousi, Vahid; Felderer, Michael; Hacaloglu, Tuna (Elsevier BV, 2017-05-01) Context: Software testing practices and processes in many companies are far from being mature and are usually conducted in ad-hoc fashions. Such immature practices lead to various negative outcomes, e.g., ineffectiveness of testing practices in detecting all the defects, and cost and schedule overruns of testing activities. To conduct test maturity assessment (TMA) and test process improvement (TPI) in a systematic manner, various TMA/TPI models and approaches have been proposed.
