Big data analytics (BDA) grasp the potential of generating valuable insights and empowering businesses to support their strategic decision-making. However, although organizations are aware of BDAs’ potential opportunities, they face challenges to satisfy the BDA-specific processes and integrate them into their daily software development lifecycle. Process capability/ maturity assessment models are used to assist organizations in assessing and realizing the value of emerging capabilities and technologies. However, as a result of the literature review and its analysis, it was observed that none of the existing studies in the BDA domain provides a complete, standardized, and objective capability maturity assessment model. To address this research gap, we focus on developing a BDA process capability assessment model grounded on the well-accepted ISO/IEC 330xx standard series. The proposed model comprises two main dimensions: process and capability. The process dimension covers six BDA-specific processes: business understanding, data understanding, data preparation, model building, evaluation, and deployment and use. The capability dimension has six levels, from not performed to innovating. We conducted case studies in two different organizations to validate the applicability and usability of the proposed model. The results indicate that the proposed model provides significant insights to improve the business value generated by BDA via determining the current capability levels of the organizations' BDA processes, deriving a gap analysis, and creating a comprehensive roadmap for continuous improvement in a standardized way.

An Agile business process software development methodology Çulha, Davut; Doğru, Ali Hikmet; Department of Computer Engineering (2014) An agile business process software development methodology is proposed, developed and tested in this research. To speed up the business process software development practices in the organization and to address the requirements more efficiently, an agile approach was adapted. Two new processes were developed using the new methodology. The improvement was assessed by utilizing nine older developments: A formula was developed in this research that estimates the development efforts for old business process soft...
Using data analytics for collaboration patterns in distributed software team simulations Dafoulas, Georgios A.; Serce, Fatma C.; SWİGGER, Kathleen; BRAZİLE, Robert; Alpaslan, Ferda Nur; Alpaslan, Ferda Nur; Milewski, Allen (2016-08-05) This paper discusses how previous work on global software development learning teams is extended with the introduction of data analytics. The work is based on several years of studying student teams working in distributed software team simulations. The scope of this paper is twofold. First it demonstrates how data analytics can be used for the analysis of collaboration between members of distributed software teams. Second it describes the development of a dashboard to be used for the visualization of variou...
A method for product defectiveness prediction by using process enactment data in a small software organization Sivrioğlu, Damla; Demirörs, Onur; Tarhan, Ayça; Department of Information Systems (2012) As a part of the quality management, product defectiveness prediction is vital for small software organizations as for instutional ones. Although for defect prediction there have been conducted a lot of studies, process enactment data cannot be used because of the difficulty of collection. Additionally, there is no proposed approach known in general for the analysis of process enactment data in software engineering. In this study, we developed a method to show the applicability of process enactment data for...
A Decision support model for adopting software product line engineering / Tüzün, Eray; Bilgen, Semih; Tekinerdoğan, Bekir; Department of Information Systems (2014) The software product line engineering (SPLE) community has provided several different approaches for assessing the feasibility of SPLE adoption and selecting transition strategies. These approaches usually include many rules and guidelines which are very often implicit or scattered over different publications. Hence, for the practitioners it is not always easy to select and use these rules to support the decision-making process. To support the decision-making process in SPLE adoption, a decision support mod...
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...
