In this article a review of software projects based on a taxonomy project is established, allowing the development team or testing personnel to identify the tests to which the project must be subjected for validation. The taxonomy is focused on identifying software projects according to their technology. To establish the taxonomy, a development method comprised of 5 phases was applied. The developed taxonomy is comprised of 10 categories and 35 subcategories and was validated by a group of information technology (IT) managers and professionals in the field of IT through the use of a survey. The results obtained from the survey are subjected to the Mann-Whitney U test, which indicates that the taxonomy is validated. The taxonomy can be implemented in development organizations with or without a testing team that provides a classification for technology projects

A review of software project testing

This article establishes taxonomy for software testing projects, allowing the development team or testing personnel to identify the tests to which the project must be subjected for validation. The taxonomy is focused on identifying software projects according to their technology. To establish the taxonomy, a development method comprised of 5 phases was applied. The developed taxonomy is comprised of 9 categories and 27 subcategories and was validated by a group of information technology (IT) managers and professionals in the field of IT through the use of a survey. The results obtained from the survey are subjected to the Mann-Whitney U test, which indicates that the taxonomy is validated. The taxonomy can be implemented in development organizations with or without a testing team that provides a classification for technology projects.

Tool support for software process assessments

There is scant recorded experience in the literature of the attainment of ISO 15504 Level 5 capability. The reasons are not hard to find: instances of advanced capability are infrequent; those enterprises that have attained such advanced levels of process capability, understandably, may be reluctant to share their experiences with potential competitors; and assessors are frequently unsure of how to interpret the process attributes, management practices and indicators at Levels 4 and 5.



The situation described in this article relates to the management of the higher-degree process at the Software Engineering Applications Laboratory (SEAL) over the period 1988 through 2000. The SEAL was a post-graduate laboratory in the School of Electrical and Information Engineering at the University of the Witwatersrand, focussing on research investigations in specialised engineering and scientific applications in the field of software engineering. A major process re-engineering exercise was initiated in 1992, leading to the certification of the SEAL to ISO 9001 in July 1995. Key performance indicators relating to the recruitment, supervision and graduation of students, and development and publication of research articles were tracked over the period of interest. The impact of the formalised management system on these KPIs was tracked and monitored. Process improvements, both heroic and incremental, and their impacts, were recorded in detail. When the work products of a sample of SEAL projects and the quality management system were assessed recently, the assessment team concluded that Level 5 process capability had been achieved in the higher-degree process. This contribution seeks to record the background to the assessment and offers some insights as to what practices were applied to achieve Level 5 capability. Copyright © 2004 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.

Level 5 process capability achievement: A case study from Software Engineering Research Management

Software verification and validation is an aid in determining that developed software meets customer requirements, performs its intended functions correctly, and provides information about its quality and reliability. The emerging ISO 15504 international standard for software process assessment has prepared normative and informative requirements which are intended to be used to support assessments compliant to this new standard. The SEAL has prepared a tool which supports the capture of assessment data and prepares visual indications (profiles) of the assessment output. The activity of software verification and validation has been integrated into each phase of the software life cycle of the SEAL Assessment Tool. This paper reviews the software verification and validation tasks supporting each activity in the SEAL Assessment Tool development, and the techniques that were used to accomplish specific software verification and validation tasks. An ISO 9001-compliant quality management system was used to support the documentation of software verification and validation activity performed on the Tool.
