Measurement of Non-Technical Skills of Software Development Teams
(North Dakota State University, 2014)
Software Development managers recognize that project team dynamics is a key component of the success of any project. Managers can have a project with well-defined goals, an adequate schedule, technically skilled people and ...
Mining Frequent Coherent Patterns from Weighted Graphs
(North Dakota State University, 2014)
Current research on network analysis; such as community detection, pattern mining and many other graph mining application mostly focus on large social or biological networks. Such experiments may find interesting patterns ...
Applied Nonparametric Statistical Tests to Compare Evolutionary and Swarm Intelligence Approaches
(North Dakota State University, 2014)
Recently, in many experimental studies, the statistical analysis of nonparametric comparisons has grown in the area of computational intelligence. The research refers to application of different techniques that are used ...
Metrics and Tools to Guide Design of Graphical User Interfaces
(North Dakota State University, 2014)
User interface design metrics assist developers evaluate interface designs in early phase before delivering the software to end users. This dissertation presents a metric-based tool called GUIEvaluator for evaluating the ...
Adapting Web Page Tables on Mobile Web Browsers: Results from Two Controlled Empirical Studies
(North Dakota State University, 2014)
Displaying web page content in mobile screens is a challenging task and users often face difficulty retrieving the relevant data. It can force them to adopt a time-consuming hunt-and-peck strategy. Application of design ...
Investigating the Defect Patterns during the Software Development Projects
(North Dakota State University, 2014)
With the growing software industry and our dependency on complex software applications, it is vital that the software is free of faults. The objective of my study is to, identify and classify the most common type of defects ...
Analyzing Student Learning Outcomes in Programming Course Using Individual Study Vs. Pair Programming
(North Dakota State University, 2014)
Pair programming has been common practice in the programming industry during last three decades, but only recently did it start to draw the attention as a teaching strategy. This paper investigates whether we should introduce ...
A New Coupling Metric: Combining Structural and Semantic Relationships
(North Dakota State University, 2014)
Maintaining object-oriented software is problematic and expensive. Earlier research has revealed that complex relationships among object-oriented software entities are key reasons that make maintenance costly. Therefore, ...
Evaluating the Usefulness of Requirement Error Taxonomy as a Defect Prevention Technique: An Empirical Investigation
(North Dakota State University, 2014)
Defect prevention techniques can be used during the creation of software artifacts to help developers create high-quality artifacts. The Requirement Error Taxonomy developed by Walia et al. [22, 23] helps focus developer’s ...
An Artificial Immune System Heuristic in a Smart Electrical Grid
(North Dakota State University, 2014)
The immune system of the human body follows a process that is adaptive and learns via experience. Some algorithms are designed to take advantage of this process to determine solutions for complex problem domains. The ...
