BR Program was launched aiming at establishing and disseminating a software process reference model -- the MPS-SW -- allowing both micro, small and medium-sized enterprises and large organizations to achieve the benefits of process improvement. Nowadays, ten years later, the achieved results exceed MPS. BR's predefined benchmarks in several ways. [Objective] This paper aims at providing an overview on the MPS-SW model and presenting these results, describing its nationwide adoption in Brazil (more than 500 assessments spread across the country) and outcomes of two recent surveys concerning the impact of such adoption in the software industry. [Method] We planned surveys to capture the impact from two different and complementary points of view: the qualitative perception of the customers (sponsors of MPS-SW adopting organizations) and the performance results of organizations that adopted the model (e.g. concerning productivity, quality and estimation accuracy). [Results] Results of the qualitative survey indicated that the adoption was motivated by both business and technical reasons and that most sponsors are satisfied with the obtained improvements and would recommend the MPS-SW model. Results of the survey on performance results indicated higher productivity, quality and estimation accuracy for organizations assessed in higher maturity levels.","PeriodicalId":317037,"journal":{"name":"2014 9th International Conference on the Quality of Information and Communications Technology","volume":"125 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2014-12-15","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"132489711","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}

In this same year, there was an increase of more than 153% of the costs associated to acquisition of software development services by the Brazilian federal government reaching around US $ 45.5 million. Although the costs concerning IT outsourcing are increasing in Brazil in a fast pace, few Brazilian government organizations adopt software acquisition best practices, thus imposing serious risks to acquisition projects, like projects being cancelled and over budget. This paper presents a proposal of acquisition architecture and software factory operation in public organizations. We will also discuss some of the benefits and lessons learned of implementing this proposal in IPLANRIO, a government unit responsible for managing software contracting at the Rio de Janeiro City Hall.","PeriodicalId":317037,"journal":{"name":"2014 9th International Conference on the Quality of Information and Communications Technology","volume":"1 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2014-12-15","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"128987373","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}

Process models should therefore be accompanied by tailoring guidelines and approaches to assist with strategic and operational goal alignment that support their use in industry. This paper explores shortcomings of process improvement and the existing process models, suggesting that a more holistic approach should be taken to process improvement in the modern organization. The paper provides an overview of systems thinking and the Cynefin framework that organizations can use to detect the characteristics of the domain in which they are operate. Knowing their domain helps the organization realize the amount of tailoring and goal alignment necessary to benefit from implementing process model guidance.","PeriodicalId":317037,"journal":{"name":"2014 9th International Conference on the Quality of Information and Communications Technology","volume":"85 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2014-12-12","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"127599210","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}

{"title":"On the Appropriateness of Domain-Specific Languages Derived from Different Metamodels","authors":"I. Rozanc, B. Slivnik","doi":"10.1109/QUATIC.2014.33","DOIUrl":"https://doi.org/10.1109/QUATIC.2014.33","url":null,"abstract":"In model-driven development domain-specific languages (DSL) are often considered models while the description of DSLs are expressed using various metamodels. To estimate the influence of a metamodel on the quality of DSLs derived from it, it is appropriate to measure functional suitability. As defined by the standard ISO/IEC 25010 (SQuaRE), functional suitability consists of completeness, correctness, and appropriateness. Among these issues, only appropriateness can be evaluated without specifying the domain. This paper is a study of a relationship between (a) the metamodel's expressive power regarding the syntax of the DSLs derived from the metamodel and (b) the appropriateness of those DSLs. In this regard two metrics are defined. The first metric evaluates a metamodel and produces the estimation of the derived DSLs' appropriateness. The second metric incorporates the domain and further assesses the quality of a DSL in terms of appropriateness. Both metrics are based on abstract syntax trees of programs written in the derived DSLs, and demonstrated using examples on two different domains.","PeriodicalId":317037,"journal":{"name":"2014 9th International Conference on the Quality of Information and Communications Technology","volume":"1 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2014-09-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"124834262","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}

The developers, following a set of best practices, such as planning game or sprint planning, test driven development (TDD), refactoring, pair programming, continuous integrations, customer collaboration, etc., create value and assure quality through all the development phases, from requirements to the final release.

The aim of this symposium is to bring together Software Engineering PhD students supervised or co-supervised by faculty members of Portuguese Universities in a constructive environment, where they can present and discuss their ongoing PhD projects, receive feedback and valuable suggestions from faculty and peers, as well as network with other researchers in the field. The symposium aims at selecting PhD students that have already decided on a specific research topic, but are at least one year from delivering their dissertation, so that they can still benefit from the symposium discussions. This symposium is also instrumental as a gathering point for the Software Engineering research community in Portugal, with a tradition of synergies facilitator since its first edition. As such, an effort has been made to hold this event in different towns. Previous editions were held in Coimbra [1], Caparica [2], Porto [3], and Lisboa [4].","PeriodicalId":317037,"journal":{"name":"2014 9th International Conference on the Quality of Information and Communications Technology","volume":"32 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2014-09-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"133995326","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}
