Using the grounded theory research method, we studied eleven software companies operating in different domains such as banking, space satellites, health care and energy. Seven main findings are presented: First, the low involvement of testers in the planning phase of the software development life cycle (SDLC) led to underestimation of the scope of testing and resources required. Second, there was poor buy-in for testing from project managers, which led to insufficient involvement of testers in some SDLC activities. Third, the risk-taking behaviour of project managers led them to skip important tests. Fourth, vertical organizational structures and modes of operation within the companies limited the mandate and visibility of testing and quality assurance units in development projects. Fifth, oversights in budgeting and contracts between customers and the software developing companies limited the extent of testing. Sixth, resources management, which was related to poor use of available systems, created a communication gap between teams and conflict in requirements interpretation; and seventh, customers' willingness to co-operate in after-sales testing limited the extent and efficiency of such testing and thus affected software quality.","PeriodicalId":288073,"journal":{"name":"2014 IEEE Eighth International Conference on Research Challenges in Information Science (RCIS)","volume":"5 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2014-05-28","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"129023342","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Surveys with software engineers also indicate that culture can affect software development team motivation through differences in developers' motivational factors. In this study, we conduct a survey with 15 Finnish software engineers and 21 non-Finnish software engineers who live in Finland to investigate 1) the relationship between team motivation and project outcome, and 2) the factors that motivate Finnish software engineers. We compare the motivational factors found from the Finnish data with those identified in prior research with developers from four different countries. An analysis of the data from our 36 subjects indicates that project outcome is not associated with team motivation in Finland though this result contradicts prior research. There is a single motivational factor, “team work” that appears to be culturally independent. Unique team motivational factors for Finnish software engineers are found to be “the authority of project manager” and “the vision of project manager”. Our results indicate that cultural differences affect team motivation and that project managers need to consider these when working in a global environment.","PeriodicalId":288073,"journal":{"name":"2014 IEEE Eighth International Conference on Research Challenges in Information Science (RCIS)","volume":"31 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2014-05-28","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"117040271","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

This environment often requires the development projects to intentionally - for example through implementing quick-and-dirty - or unintentionally - for example through misinterpretation of requirements - deviate from the optimal product state. While most of the deviation is caught through practices like customer reviews, the remainder stays hidden in the product. The undocumented remainder is difficult to remove, it expands uncontrollably and it negatively affects development as deviations are unexpectedly encountered and overcome. The term technical debt describes this process of accumulating hidden work. Management of technical debt can be expected to be a major factor in software development efficiency and sustainability and as such it should be an integral part of the software implementation's knowledge management. In addition to being difficult to capture, the continuous evolution of the implementation makes maintenance of gained information a challenge. This paper discusses applying technical debt management for software implementations including the entry points for knowledge discovery, network analysis for overcoming the maintenance challenges as well as the pursued outcomes.","PeriodicalId":288073,"journal":{"name":"2014 IEEE Eighth International Conference on Research Challenges in Information Science (RCIS)","volume":"9 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2014-05-28","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"115783807","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Participant collaboration includes communication, information and data dissemination and also application execution, leading to task completion. This paper presents an approach extending social network data model to promote participant collaboration through collaborative application execution and management. The proposed extensions support not only process monitoring but actual execution, management and composition of applications within the context of the social network, in a uniform way. In order to achieve this effectively, external services must be wrapped and integrated in the social network environment as applications, and consequently they must be mapped to business tasks executed in each participant profile, according to their actual role and responsibilities in the enterprise. The social network framework must take into account the actual roles, relationships and responsibilities of the members of an enterprise, which, combined, dictate enterprise workflow schemes and policies. To explore the potential of the proposed approach, a prototype social network platform is discussed as a case study.","PeriodicalId":288073,"journal":{"name":"2014 IEEE Eighth International Conference on Research Challenges in Information Science (RCIS)","volume":"19 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2014-05-28","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"125447533","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Then, he needs a tailored information reflecting his current needs and interests in every period of time. This aims to provide a better adaptation while accessing the information space by integrating users' interests dynamic. Indeed, users' interests may change and become “outdated” through time. So, an interest judged as relevant in a period of time may fluctuate in the next period of time. Moreover, analysing the classic user behaviour to deduce his current interests is a difficult task. In fact, his behaviour isn't always reflecting his real interests. In this paper, we propose a new approach for enriching the user profile in an evolutionary environment such as a social network. The enrichment takes into account: i) the social behaviour and more precisely the tagging behaviour (that reflects user's interests) and ii) the temporal information (that reflects the dynamic evolution of users' interests). Our approach focus on the concept of temperature that reflects the importance of a resource in each period of time. This concept is used to infer common interests of users tagging the same “important” resource. The originality of our approach relies on combining information tags, users and resources in a way that guarantees a better enrichment for the social user profile. Our approach has been tested and evaluated with the Delicious social database and shows interesting precision values.","PeriodicalId":288073,"journal":{"name":"2014 IEEE Eighth International Conference on Research Challenges in Information Science (RCIS)","volume":"95 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2014-05-28","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"126143346","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
