No one can deny that information technology has enormously contributed to the recent economic growth of Korea. Software serves as an essential part of most products and services today. However, economic treatments and social status of software technicians, who are the key players and core elements of the software industry, are in a very unsatisfactory situation. Despite this circumstance, discussion or study on the productivity of software people and approaches to raise value of technical manpower in software industry is scarce. The purpose of this study is to suggest a policy program to uplift the value of technical manpower in the software industry. To achieve this purpose, this paper will examine the present status of software manpower, analyze the productivity of software technicians, and suggest policy programs to improve the value of technical manpower in the software field.

기존의 조사에 따르면 현재 소프트웨어 개발 프로젝트의 실패율은 높은 편이다. 미국의 The Standish Group의 보고서에 따르면 소프트웨어 프로젝트의 성공률은 약 32%로 낮음을 볼 수 있다. 소프트웨어 프로젝트 성공에 영향을 주는 요소 중 하나는 인력배치이다. 이는 소프트웨어 개발 프로젝트의 참여 인력 구성에 따라 생산성, 비용 및 개발기간이 달라지게 되기 때문이다. 즉 인력 구성에 따라 프로젝트 성공률에 많은 영향을 주게 될 수 있다. 프로젝트 인력할당은 WBS(Work Breakdown Structure)에 따라 PM(Project Manager) 또는 부서장이 할당하게 되는데, 이들은 프로젝트 구성원들의 상세한 정보까지 파악이 어렵기 때문에 인력구성의 어려움이 존재한다. 과거에 수행했던 개발 프로젝트에서 유사성이 높은 작업을 했음에도 불구하고 전혀 경험이 없는 작업에 할당되면 상대적으로 업무 지식습득에 어려움을 겪고 시간 지연에 따른 비용이 추가적으로 발생하게 된다. 이러한 문제를 해결하고자 본 연구는 소프트웨어 개발 프로젝트 구성원의 상세한 정보들과 소프트웨어 개발 업무와의 유사도 측정을 통해 인력을 업무에 할당하는 기법을 제안한다. 이를 위하여 제안한 기법을 프로토타입으로 구현한 후 현업에서 실제 개발되는 프로젝트에 적용하여 제안 기법의 우수함을 평가한다.

As industrial software domain is recognizing with one of areas producing high added values, almost software company is running around in securing skilled workers. However, the hiring of software engineers without the consideration of long-term business goals can be caused the lack of manpower again. Also if there is no strategic workforce management plan, it is impossible to gain high performance despite many software engineers have been employed. One of ways to empower the software development capability, this paper identifies the software job functions in detail and proposes how to define the competency profile for the job function. We also propose the career path management scheme using the profile. The proposed workforce management approach which is based on the competency profile, enables to keep the appropriate size of human resources, and to achieve the business performance of software organization.

Successful project planning relics on a good estimation of the manpower required to complete a project, together with the schedule options that may be available. Despite the extensive research done developing new and better models, existing software manpower estimation models are present only the total manpower or instantaneous manpower distribution according to the testing time for the software life-cycle. This paper suggests the manpower estimating models for software testing phase as well as testing process and debugging process in accordance with de-tected faults. This paper presents the polynomial model for effort based on testing and debugging faults. These models are verified by 5 different software project data sets with coefficient of determination and mean magnitude of relative error for adaptability of model.

국내기업에서 대부분의 정보시스템이 정보시스템 수명주기로 불 때 운영단계로 진입하고 조직의 정보시스템의존도 및 시스템규모가 점점 늘어남에 따라서 정보시스템의 운영과정에서 발생되는 소프트웨어 유지보수에 투입되는 비용도 증가되고 있다. 그러나 소프트웨어유지보수 프로젝트에 소요되는 투입인력 규모예측에 관련된 연구는 소프트웨어개발부문에 비해 적은 것이 사실이다. 본 연구에서는 유지보수프로젝트를 대상 소프트웨어의 규모는 IFPUG에서 개발된 기능점수기법(function point model)을 적용하여 산정하고, 특정 소프트웨어유지보수 프로젝트 생산성에 영향을 미치는 유지보수환경, 프로덕트, 투입인력 등 3개 영역에서 도출된 총 10개 특성을 보정요소로 설정한 후, 유지보수프로젝트의 소요인력 규모를 추정하기 위한 비선형회귀모형을 제시하고 있다. 실제 수행된 26개 유지보수프로젝트로부터 수집한 실적데이터를 이용하여 이 모형을 실증 분석한 결과 유의한 모형임이 밝혀졌다.

The most important thing in digital transformation is SW technology. However, many companies are having difficulty securing SW technology and manpower. In particular, it is reported that the shortage of SW manpower will increase further. The government is carrying out manpower training policies and many support projects to resolve SW manpower supply and demand policies, but accurate predictions of demand and supply of the software industry are essential for these policies to be effectively established. Therefore, this study developed a simulation using a system dynamics methodology that can perform dynamic structural analysis to resolve the supply and demand imbalance in the software industry. System dynamics is appropriate to find the cause and policy alternatives from a dynamic perspective on the imbalance in manpower supply and demand in the software industry. In detail, the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS) methodology was used to develop a prediction model for manpower demand and supply in the software industry, and scenario analysis was performed to derive policy implications.

Most of the existing statistical models of software manpower profile are based on the assumptions of the usage and development process. Therefore, there is no universally applicable estimation and prediction model. To develop a prediction model, this paper suggests the predictive filter as a prediction model for software manpower profile. Firs of all, we investigate the software manpower profile and we suggest the input-output of predictive filter and method for parameter determination. Then, its usefulness is empirically verified by analyzing the actual data obtained from the software projects. Based on the average relative prediction error and Pred(0.25), the suggested predictive filter is compared with other well-known statistical estimation models. As a result, the predictive filter generally has a simple structure and on the other hand, it adapts the software manpower profile very well.

The rising value of software developers has made corporations, including IT companies, to focus on recruitment of software developers. However, the domestic software industry, where SMEs represents quite a large proportion of the industry, is facing problems of low rate of human resources and high rate of job turnover. These problems have not been solved until today. This study hypothesizes that software developer's job satisfaction has an effect on organizational engagement and intention to job transfer. The purpose of this study is to provide implications on desirable human resources management and work environment, that lowers intentions to job transfer by elevating job satisfaction of the software developers. The results of the study reveal that among job satisfaction factors, recognition, autonomy, work-life balance, work environment have significant effects on fob satisfaction. Also, the software developer's job satisfaction elevates organizational engagement and lowers intention to job transfer. In addition, job satisfaction is has partly has mediating effect between job satisfaction and intention to job transfer. Several practical implications are discussed.

In this study, the productivity factors of software maintenance are categorized into the three areas such as maintainer characteristics, software technical characteristics and maintenance environment characteristics. And the various regression analyses are performed for searching the most significant model by using actual project's data. At conclusion, an linear model including new variables derived from factor analysis to estimate the effort for software maintenance project is suggested.
