Abstract

The software is changed according to the changing businesses and the user requirement, it involves increasing complexity and cost. Considering the repetitive changes required for the software, replacement is more efficient than maintenance at some point. In this study, the replacement time was predicted using the service dissatisfaction index and replacement point assessment index by the software group for each task. First, fuzzy inference was used to develop the method and indicator for the user's service level dissatisfaction. Second, the replacement point assessment method was established considering the quality, costs, and new technology of the software. Third, a replacement time prediction technique that used the gap between the user service measurement and replacement point assessment values was proposed. The results of the case study with the business solutions of three organizations, which was conducted to verify the validity of the proposed prediction technique in this study, showed that the service dissatisfaction index decreased by approximately 16% and the replacement point assessment index increased by approximately 9%.

소프트웨어는 업무의 변화 및 사용자의 요구사항에 따라서 변경이 수반되므로, 내부 복잡도가 증가하고 비용이 발생한다. 이러한 과정이 반복되면 어느 시점에서는 유지보다는 교체가 더욱 효율적이다. 본 연구에서는 업무단위의 소프트웨어 그룹별로 사용자에게 제공하는 서비스 불만 지수와 교체점 평가 지수에 따라 교체시기를 예측하였다. 첫째, 퍼지추론을 이용하여 서비스 수준의 사용자 불만족도를 평가하기 위한 방법과 지표를 개발하였고 둘째, 소프트웨어의 품질, 비용, 신기술을 반영한 교체점 평가 방법을 수립하였으며 셋째, 사용자 서비스 측정값과 교체점 평가 값과의 간격에 따라 교체시기를 예측하는 기법을 제시하였다. 본 연구에서 제시하는 예측기법의 타당성을 검증하기 위하여 3개 조직의 업무솔루션을 대상으로 실험한 결과, 서비스 불만 지수는 약 16% 하락하였으며 교체점 평가 지수는 약 9% 상승하였다.
