The semiconductor industry develops and maintains software embedded in computer-controlled tools and facilities, to process and manufacture high-tech products. Upgrading embedded softwares for semiconductor processing robots and machinery is one of the basic activities that must be performed in order to maintain product quality and integrity. Maintenance and enhancement of embedded software consume a major portion of the total life cycle cost of a system. However, the area has been given little attention in the literature. 502 maintenance and enhancement cases, related to embedded softwares in wafer processing machines, were selected at random for analysis. Practical implications are also discussed.

Discussion of the validity of the software price has been constantly followed in it. For interests friendly relations between the supply provider and consumers, suitable pricing logic is required to convince each other in the market. However, in reality, not only there is no exact calculation standard of the factors that determine the price still, and also lack understanding of the factors. The fact is that by this, each supply company has a software pricing by different criteria, so consumers keep questioning It's a reasonable price. In this paper, it is intended to analyze a variety of factors that influence to the software price and base on this determine a reasonable price formula model of software packages.

Recently, as application fields of software is extended, relative importance of software make a gradual increase and importance of development cost is being increased. However, as former evaluation model of development cost evaluate at the functional point of view for the most part, at this paper, I intend to propose evaluation model of software development cost COSMOS-Q(COSt MOdel for Subcontract-Quality) which one evaluate also in quality as well as function. The model proposed in this paper set the goal at software orderer evaluate software cost exactly with only order specification information. At this paper, I proposed cost evaluation model and evaluated it's validity refering to review result in ISO/SC7 about a software quality feature with extraction of quality feature factor which produce change of cost and set up the evaluation measure adoptable as order condition.

Software quality is very important in software. We think, software testing is very important in point of functionality, usability. But, we have to consider about all of the software quality. We change our thinking about software quality from time to time. In this paper, we try to the best to find important factors by the number of testing dates and the number of testing in point of functionality, usability, reliability, efficiency, portability, maintainability. We study the mean of the number of faults according to products. We find the difference the number of errors by sex of tester.

The research to estimate development effort of software has been progress. But, it is not easy gain that testing data for estimating of development effort. Also, if we get the testing data, it is important that analysis testing data. In this paper, we study the data analysis of software development effort using the 789 software development projects which developed in the 1990's. Software development scale and software development team site are various. Using the characteristic of factor, we have to study characteristic of data and we estimate the development effort step by step. First, we prove the difference of development effort with the 789 project data according to development type, development environment, the development language etc. Also, we execute the crosstabs analysis that team site and function point.

The primary goal of software testing is to identify and correct errors within software. A key challenge in this process is error masking, where errors disappear internally before reaching the output. This paper investigates the causes and characteristics of error masking, which complicates software testing. The study involved injecting artificial errors into three software programs to examine the extent of error masking by various test cases and to explore the underlying reasons. The experiment yielded four major findings. First, about 50% of the error masking occurred because the errors were not executed. Second, among various operators, logical and arithmetic operators masked errors less frequently, while relational and temporal operators tended to mask errors more extensively. Third, certain test cases demonstrated exceptional effectiveness in propagating errors to the output. Fourth, the type of error injected influenced the masking effect.

System support software is one of the software that makes up ship combat management system and has the characteristics of being mounted in the combat management systems of all ships but with little functional change. However, despite these characteristics, software modifications due to equipment, etc. are inevitable in the application of new ships. Modification of software causes software reliability testing which is a key factor in increasing development costs. In this paper, the structure of the existing system support software was analyzed to identify and supplement the code change factors, and the system support standardization architecture was designed. The feature model elicited common and variable elements of system support software, and applied white-box reuse to improve software design. In addition, the results of comparing existing system support software with the new architecture in terms of development elements and time to perform reliability test were presented to verify the effectiveness of the new one.

Bellows product is an important part in the area of plant engineering, shipbuilding and petrochemistry. For safety and durability it is necessary to consider lots of factors when designing it. This research developed a U-shaped metal bellows design software based on EJMA 9th Edition manual. This GUI software was developed by using Matlab software and can be able to design four types of bellows, Unreinforced Single Bellows, Unreinforced Double Bellows, Reinforced Single Bellows and Reinforced Double Bellows. The already proven bellows model was designed to verify this software. We investigated the behavior while changing the thickness of the bellows. As the thickness of bellows increases, spring rate, thrust force, stress increase and fatigue life decreases. This software will be helpful design engineers save time and effort.

Software, once developed, has a long life and evolves through numerous additions and modifications because of the faults, the changes in user requirements, the changes in environments, and so forth. With the evolution of the software, assuring the quality of the software is getting more difficult because of numerous versions of the software. Meanwhile, regression testing has been used to support the software testing activities and assure acquiring appropriate quality through several versions of software. Regression testing, however, is too expensive because it requires lots of test cases executions and the number of test cases increases sharply as the software evolves. For this reason, several techniques are suggested to help conducting regression testing then test case prioritization technique is understood the most effective and efficient technique to support regression testing. In this paper, we propose an approach, Historical Value-Based Approach, which is based on the use of historical information to estimate the current cost and fault severity for cost-cognizant test case prioritization. As a result of the proposed approach, software testers who perform regression testing prioritize their test cases more effectively so that the test effectiveness of them can be improved in terms of APFDc.

We investigated the question whether protein removing activities of enzyme cleaner - protein remover for soft contact lens - are associated with the material of soft contact lens as well as action time, temperature and pH of enzyme solution. We used a subtilisin cleaner as protein remover and estimated the protein amount remained on soft contact lens after using the subtilisin cleaner under the different conditions. The remained protein in soft contact lens was greatly decreased until treatment for 60min, but no significant differences were found from 60min to 24hr. The cleaning effect of the enzymatic treatment in the range of $15{\sim}30^{\circ}C$ was constant. however, there was a significant decline of the protein removing effect at $10^{\circ}C$ and less. The pH of the solution was also important for the efficacy of the enzymatic treatment. The activity of the enzyme cleaner was highest in pH 8.0 and significantly decreased a pH below 7. The pH dependence was found to be related to the conformational change of subtilisin. Furthermore, significant differences in the protein deposit removing efficacy of the subtilisin cleaner were found among the soft contact lens materials.
