공공소프트웨어 사업의 개발 성향과 품질에 대한 실증적 연구

This study was empirically performed to demonstrate the development propensity and quality of the public software projects in Korea. Tile sample employed in this study contains 168 auditing reports on 107 public software projects which were carried out in the period of 1998 to 2003. The important findings of this study can be summarized as follows. The quality issue in the development process is getting more important with the lapse of time. In addition, the importance of end users' conveniency increases from year to year. Although the Pareto Principle(20 : 80 principle) is not applied strictly, most problems are caused by a few items. Finally, we find evidence that the overall Quality of public softwares is positively influenced by the information system auditing.
