This paper presents a framework for quantitative software development performance measurement and analysis based on characteristics of software in System on Chip (SoC) industry, one of the semiconductor businesses. In this paper, we propose a measurement model based on not only theoretical model (Performance Pyramid) but also characteristics of SoC embedded software. Quantitative software development performance measurement is not just collecting indicators but analyzing quality, cost, and delivery (QCD) of collected indicators. Externally, it is possible for programmers to develop software meeting customers' needs. Internally, more efficient software development can be possible through the visible productivity increase. Using the proposed framework, the paper quantitatively measures embedded software development performance.

For an evaluation of the software product, the national/international organizations and labs have been studying various methodologies for the quality on the basis of ISO/IEC Quality Assurance System, but they still have many issues in evaluation of the anti-virus software that has special characteristics of complexity. In this paper, to establish a methodology of the quality evaluation for the anti-virus software, fulfilling the requirements more than reasonable level, a process to draw the evaluation items and quantification was established. And the information of weight was objectified by analyzing the relative magnitude between each factors. Based on the defined information (evaluation item, weight), conducting the quality evaluations for 70 kinds of open anti-virus software collected from the portal sites in the real test environment, and as a result of the positive analysis with user's long-term experience, this paper justifies the evaluation item and the weight.

Context: Testing is one of the techniques that can assure the quality of software including the domain of Software Product Line (SPL). Various techniques have been deliberated to enhance the quality of SPL including Model-based Testing (MBT). Objective: The objective of this study is to analyze and classify trends of MBT in SPL covering the solutions, issues and evaluation aspects by using taxonomy form. Method: A Systematic Literature Review (SLR) was conducted involving 63 primary studies from different sources. The selected studies were categorized based on their common characteristics. Results: Several findings can guide future research on MBT for SPL. The important finding is that the multiple measurements are still open to improving current metrics to evaluate test cases in MBT for SPL. The multiple types of measurement required a trade-off between maximization and minimization results to ensure the testing method which could satisfy multiple test criteria for example cost and effectiveness at the same time.

A commercial-off-the-shelf (COTS) component is an implementation of common functionality among family members, where an in-house component implements an organization-specific functionality. Typically, a COTS component has a producer and aset of potential consumers. Consumers evaluate COTS components thoroughly before they purchase, because these components are developed by third party producers and most consumers have ‘not-invented-here’ syndrome. Hence, evaluating the quality of COTS components becomes an important prerequisite to a successful component-based application development. In this paper, we identify the characteristics of COTS components, and derive a practical quality model for components, C-QM, which consists of quality factors, criteria and metrics and a qualify certification system, C-QCS. The top design goal of C-QM is set to provide a practically applicable comprehensive quality model which can be effectively applied in assessing the various quality aspects of COTS components.

This study is to propose the characteristics that a desirable quality, especially usability, evaluation method of hospital information systems(HIS) should possess. This study reviews the literature recently published in the academic journals which are in the Science Citation Index or registered by the Korean Research Foundation. Especially, the International Journal of Medical Informatics was the valuable source, providing almost 20 literature. The results reveal the need to develop a domain-specific usability evaluation method that reflects the uniqueness of hospital industry. The results show user-centeredness and context-orientedness are the indispensible characteristics of a HIS quality evaluation method too.

In order to make high quality software and high reliability software, systematic development management and organizational support are essential needed. Since 1990's Software process models such as ISO/IEC 15504 and CMMI have been used to improve organization capability. But these models have problems that are used to apply on large scaled organization or large project and so many practices are actually required. We present characteristics of ISO/IEC 15504, CMMI and K-model can easily apply to small and medium sized business or project, and propose the standard quality metric and accreditate procedure based on K-model for measuring quantitative quality level.

The embedded software has been become more important than the hardware in mobile systems in ubiquitous society. The improvement models such as CMMI(Capability Maturity Model Integration) and SPICE(Software Process Improvement and Capability dEtermination) are used to improve the quality of software in general systems. Software process improvement is also necessary for mobile embedded software development to improve its quality. It is not easy to apply the general software improvement model to the mobile embedded software development due to the high cost effectiveness and heavy process. On the other hand, XP has the characteristics on focused communications with customers and iteration development. It is specially suitable for mobile embedded software development as depending on customer's frequent requirement changes and hardware attributes. In this paper, we propose a framework for development small process improvement based XP(eXtreme Programming)'s practice in order to accomplish CMMI level 2 or 3 in mobile embedded software development at the small organizations. We design and implement the Mobile Embedded Software Process Improvement System(MESPIS) to support process improvement. We also suggest the evaluation method for the mobile embedded software development process improvement framework with CMMI coverage check by comparing other process improvement model. In the future, we need to apply this proposed framework to real project for practical effectiveness and the real cases quantitative. It also include the enhance the functionality of MESPIS.

The assurance of software product. which Is different to other products. is very complex because of Its characteristics. The use of objective development standards or guidelines and the confirmation to meet user's requirements are Important to achieve the software quality system. Moreover correct understanding of qualitv standards and continuous applications of check-points for qualify audit are necessary. ISO 9000 series. which are International standards. were made for the qualify assurance. Among them. ISO 9000-3 is the quality management and quality assurance standards for applying ISO 9001 to the design. development. supply. installation and maintenance of software. The newly revised ISO/CD 9000-3：1995 contains a lot of enforced changes within ISO 9001 framework - quality standards for manufactured products. This paper analyses the revised ISO 9000-3 by comparing it to ISO 9001. and derives quality audit points to use for qualify audit In future.

International standard is the documents that is constructed based on general and common characteristics of software. Thus, it is necessary to consider the characteristics of product and optimize the evaluation method by using related standard to adapt to some specific knowledge information security products. Also, because rapid development of software field was obliged to change the international standard, the content and construction of standard has changed, it is necessary to construct the evaluation method with this change. In this paper, we developed the evaluation model that can support the quality enhancement by evaluating the quality level and extracting the improvement method of firewall. For this, we surveyed and analyzed the trend and the technical elements of firewall and considering the general quality requirements and unique quality requirements, and proposed the quality evaluation model and method.

We have processed the GPS data using several high quality GPS data processing softwares for last decade. Bernes and GIPSY II are some of them. Though these programs have different characteristics in terms of structures and processing philosophies, high quality results from these are still comparable. KASI Space Geodesy Research Division has developed several GNSS data processing softwares like the quasi real-time ionospheric parameter estimator, orbit propagator and estimator, and precision positioning estimator. However, we are currently in needs of our own comprehensive GNSS data processing software with the European Galileo system on the horizon. KASI team has worked on a preliminary pilot project for the software and is making block pieces for the software. The roadmap, the description, and brief results of KASIOPEA (KASI Orbit Propagator and EstimAtor) are presented in this paper.
