Tutorial 1: Software Development Outsourcing Process

October 17, 2006, presentation

The demand for Offshore outsourced software development services is thriving. Companies are transferring software development jobs overseas in the hope of saving money, reducing time-to-market, and ultimately improving their processes and quality. The process of selecting IT offshore outsourcing partner is a strategic decision due to the complexity of risks, hidden costs, business model challenges, and issues that are often overlooked. This tutorial presents the expertise and experience of the Corporate Quality Consulting GmbH related to the outsourcing process, accompanied by practical examples and business cases, including the presentation of successful as well as unsuccessful software offshoring projects.

 

Tutorial 2: Building Adaptability into Complex Software Systems

October 17, 2006, presentation

This tutorial takes an in-depth look at the development and integration of enterprise and e-business systems so that they possess the software quality of adaptability. Adaptability is defined as a system ability to continue into the future while meeting the stakeholders’ requirements and being able to accommodate any new and changing requirements. Enterprise systems are complex. The tutorial proposes how to harness the complexity of large design models, manage large system production, ensure adaptable architectural design, use metrics, take advantage of design patterns and frameworks, and manage roundtrip-engineering cycles so that a measurably-adaptable system can result.

 

Tutorial 3: Test Automation

October 17, 2006, presentation

In spite of the growing importance of automatic testing, there are still numerous misunderstandings on what is actually test automation. The terminology is confusing, and vendors’ tendency to create multi-function, integrated tools with fancy names does not make things any better. This has caused difficulties for many projects and for many people. Choosing appropriate type and level of test automation requires real proficiency, which is not yet readily available among testers. This tutorial provides complete, experience-based framework for classification of different test automation paradigms. For each paradigm, practical considerations for its application, profitability and its limitations are discussed in detail.

 

MoRSe 2006: International Workshop on Model Reuse Strategies

October 17, 2006

Software industry has problems with managing the complexity of software, keeping track of changes and reusing knowledge from previous projects. An important barrier in overcoming these problems is the lack of widely accepted and easily applicable mechanisms for expressing and reusing coherent solutions to problems formulated as user requirements. The main objective of this workshop is to collect the ideas and experiences regarding open frameworks that include model-based development methods which support comprehensive reuse of modeling artifacts, repositories for artifact reuse and supporting tools. To meet the above objective, the workshop will concentrate on combining various approaches from requirements engineering, meta-modeling, model transformation and querying, and inference techniques.
