Manley, Gary W. "The classification and evaluation of Computer-Aided Software Engineering tools." Thesis, Monterey, California: Naval Postgraduate School, 1990. http://hdl.handle.net/10945/34910.
Full textThe use of Computer-Aided Software Engineering (CASE) tools has been viewed as a remedy for the software development crisis by achieving improved productivity and system quality via the automation of all or part of the software engineering process. The proliferation and tremendous variety of tools available have stretched the understanding of experienced practitioners and has had a profound impact on the software engineering process itself. To understand what a tool does and compare it to similar tools is a formidable task given the existing diversity of functionality. This thesis investigates what tools are available, proposes a general classification scheme to assist those investigating tools to decide where a tool falls within the software engineering process and identifies a tool's capabilities and limitations. This thesis also provides guidance for the evaluation of a tool and evaluates three commercially available tools.

In the area of wireless communications, energy consumption is the key design consideration. Significant effort has been placed in optimizing hardware for energy efficiency, while relatively less emphasis has been placed on software energy reduction. For overall energy efficiency reduction of system energy consumption in both hardware and software must be addressed. One goal of this research is to evaluate the factors that affect software energy efficiency and identify techniques that can be employed to produce energy optimal software. In order to present a strong argument, two state-of-the-art low power processors were used for evaluation: the Intel StrongARM SA-1100 and the next generation Intel Xscale processor. A key step in analyzing the performance of software is to perform a comprehensive tabulation of the energy consumption per instruction, while taking into account the different modes of operation. This leads into a comprehensive energy profiling for the instruction set of the processors of interest. With information on the energy consumption per instruction, we can evaluate the feasibility of energy efficient programming and use the results to gain greater insight into the power consumption of the two processors under consideration. Benchmark programs will be tested on both processors to illustrate the effectiveness of the energy profiling results. The next goal is to look at the leakage current and current consumed during idle modes of the processors and how that impacts the overall picture of energy consumption. Thus energy consumption will be explored for the two processors from both a dynamic and static energy consumption perspective.

This thesis evaluated five static analysis tools--Polyspace C Verifier, ARCHER, BOON, Splint, and UNO--using 14 code examples that illustrated actual buffer overflow vulnerabilities found in various versions of Sendmail, BIND, and WU-FTPD. Each code example included a "BAD" case with one or more buffer overflow vulnerabilities and a "PATCHED" case without buffer overflows. The buffer overflows varied and included stack, heap, bss and data buffers; access above and below buffer bounds; access using pointers, indices, and functions; and scope differences between buffer creation and use. Detection rates for the "BAD" examples were low except for Splint and PolySpace C Verifier, which had average detection rates of 57% and 87% respectively. However, average false alarm rates, as measured using the "PATCHED" programs, were high for these two systems. The frequency of false alarms per lines of code was high for both of these tools; Splint gave on average one false alarm per 50 lines of code, and PolySpace gave on average one false alarm per 10 lines of code. This result shows that current approaches can detect buffer overflows, but that false alarm rates need to be lowered substantially.

In order to create the increasingly complex software systems needed to deal with today's technological challenges, we must be able to build on previous work. However, existing software solutions are quite often not an exact fit. Software developers have found multiple ways of approaching the problem of designing software that can be adapted as well as otherwise changed; Most of this effort has been aimed at the structural properties of the software, by creating open-architecture systems. However, there are still significant usability hurdles to overcome. A developer-oriented evaluation of open architecture interfaces could help meet some of these challenges. In this thesis, I present a set of guidelines for designing a developer-oriented interface for software open architectures, developed through a survey of several related fields. I use these guidelines to design and implement an interface to the Maritime Open Architecture Autonomy, one such software framework. Finally, through two case studies, I demonstrate the usefulness of these guidelines as the basis of a low cost method of usability evaluation. Study observations and limitations are presented, as well as suggestions for further research into heuristic evaluation.

Full textThe validation of software quality metrics lacks statistical
significance. One reason for this is that the data collection
requires quite some effort. To help solve this problem,
we develop tools for metrics analysis of a large number of
software projects (146 projects with ca. 70.000 classes and
interfaces and over 11 million lines of code). Moreover, validation
of software quality metrics should focus on relevant
metrics, i.e., correlated metrics need not to be validated independently.
Based on our statistical basis, we identify correlation
between several metrics from well-known objectoriented
metrics suites. Besides, we present early results of
typical metrics values and possible thresholds.

Full textThis research paper uses Human Computer Interaction(HCI) evaluation methods, namely questionnaires and interviews, to obtain information about the kind of music software currently in common use in music departments, and the level of satisfaction of the students with this software. The evaluation results are then used to examine the possibilities for some improvement of this software. The evaluation reveals that certain software, such as that used for the area of aural (ear) training in music study, may not be used to its fullest extent as a result of a lack of student interest in the software. This research considers one possible reason for the lack of interest, namely that students find no relevance or meaning in the content of such software.

One industry that has greatly benefited from the use of computers in their field has been the hospitality industry. The country club sector is one area of the hospitality industry that has been greatly improved through the use of computers. This study evaluated the software and hardware for private country clubs, and related that to the usage of these products by the private country clubs in Virginia.
The study utilized a survey to investigate the types of and methods by which computers have impacted these country clubs. The survey's results were offered to each country club that was surveyed, for their usage in whatever manner they find helpful.

Full textThe purpose of this thesis is to explore what software evaluation methods are currently available that can assist organizations and companies in procuring a software solution for some particular task or purpose for a specific type of business. The thesis is based on a real-world scenario where a company, Volvo Technology Corporation (VTEC), is in the process of selecting a new intellectual property management system for their patent department. For them to make an informed decision as to which system to choose, an evaluation of market alternatives needs to be done. First, a set of software evaluation methods and techniques are chosen for further evaluation. An organizational study, by means of interviews where questions are based on the ISO 9126-1 Software quality model, is then conducted, eliciting user opinions about the current system and what improvements a future system should have. The candidate methods are then evaluated based on the results from the organizational study and other pertinent factors in order to reach a conclusion as to which method is best suited for this selection problem. The Analytical Hierarchy Process (AHP) is deemed the best choice.
