The American Society for Quality's Software Quality Engineer
Certification
-
The Certified Software Quality Engineer (CSQE) recognition is designed
for those who have a comprehensive understanding of software quality
development and implementation; have a thorough understanding of software
inspection and testing, verification, and validation; and can implement
software development and maintenance processes and methods. Education and
on-the-job experience, as well as proof of professionalism, prerequisites
must be satisfied before sitting for the CSQE examination. This written
examination consists of multiple choice questions that measure
comprehension of the Body of Knowledge. The CSQE Body of Knowledge was
established and is periodically updated through rigorous investigation of
actual on-the-job practice of software quality professionals. It also
provides the basis for defining the scope of other educational and
publishing activities of the American Society for Quality.
***
Mini-seminar on Knowledge Management in Software Engineering
-
Many companies have recently turned their attention to knowledge
management as an improvement strategy. This seminar will discuss the
relation between knowledge management and software process improvement.
It will survey different knowledge management strategies, processes,
tools as well as example knowledge management initiatives from European
companies. This tutorial will cover topics such as
* Knowledge Management and Process Improvement
* Knowledge Management Strategies - What strategies exist for knowledge
management, and what factors should influence the selection of the
strategy?
* Knowledge Management Processes: Techniques for capturing, packaging and
deployment of experience in the software engineering domain.
* Knowledge Management Tools: Intranet tools for knowledge management -
what kind of tools exist and how can they be of use in software
companies?
***
Professional Configuration Management
-
The purpose of this tutorial is to introduce the attendances to the
fundamentals of configuration management and explain the application of
these fundamentals in various development situations, such as during
test, in iterative development, and for development of Web-applications
just to mention a few. This will make the attendees able to build,
introduce, and improve a configuration management system in their own
environment. Avoid having to correct the same error twice! This is just
one of the benefits of having a good configuration management system in
place. The most importance benefit is, that configuration management
contributes to enhance a company's ability for effective production of
software. The configuration management is the control centre of the
software development, where the components of the system are received and
stored, where changes are controlled, and from where everything from the
right document or code file to the right version of the complete system
may be extracted. It is also from here that e.g. the project manager may
get valuable information about the status of the project.
***
Designing Test Cases for Higher Level Tests (German)
-
This half-day tutorial will show you how to generate test cases that
minimize the overlap with unit and integration testing. Various
approaches for structuring, organizing and documenting repeatable and
maintainable tests will be reviewed. Topics discussed include testing
individual functions with a use case-based approach; entity life
histories; state transitions and scenarios; installation and
configuration tests; volume, stress, performance and efficiency tests;
security, usability, and support
tests; regression testing; as well as what to test after changes and what
and how much of the test documentation to retain. Hans Schaefer was born
in 1952 in Germany and studied computer science at the TU Braunschweig.
(Subject: railway systems and reliability) He has had an advanced degree
in computer science since 1979. From 1979 until 1981 he worked at the
Fraunhofer Institute in Karlsruhe on the development of a general process
guidance system (forerunner to Siematic). From 1981 to 1987 he was at the
Center for Industrial Research in Oslo, Norway. First he worked on the
development of code generators for a CASE-Tool, then on the organization
of quality assurance. He held lectures on the above topics and on the
area of software test at the University of Oslo and Bergen. For family
reasons he has been living in the country since 1987 and is a freelance
industry consultant on the areas of quality assurance, inspection and
testing. 1997 to 1999 he was coordinator for the Norwegian Telecom on
their Year 2000 test project. His customers are primarily scandinavian
companies.
***
Managing a CMM based Software Process Improvement Programme
-
Many software intensive organisations have taken the first step down the
road to increased organisational performance by adopting the Capability
Maturity Model and they are now facing the next challenging step. This
step is the process of implementing a software process improvement
programme throughout the organisation; a process that must be aligned
with the organisations business goal and culture. The implementation is a
challenging task which requires an understanding of how to manage
technological change and how this change can impact on the organisational
and human aspects of the company. The seminar will provide an overview of
how to manage this change and will address key topics such as:
Understanding improvement, change management, continuous process
improvement life cycle, phases of improvement. David joined the European
Software Institute (ESI) in 1997 and leads the development and management
of strategic improvement programmes and consultancy actions primarily
built around the Balanced IT Scorecard. He has led Balanced IT Scorecard
engagements in Europe and Asia assisting organisations to debelop a
coherent improvement strategy that supports the achievement of strategic
business objectives. David is a regular speaker in international
conferences and is the most active instructor for the CMM in Europe.
Prior to joining the ESI David worked 12 years for the US Department of
Defence specialising in IT strategy and planning.
***
Model Driven Component Engineering
-
Component-based software development promises to radically improve the
way in which software is developed and maintained. However, contemporary
component technologies such as .NET and EJB/J2EE are low-level,
programming oriented platforms, and only really support the concepts of
components in the final implementation and deployment stages of
development. This not only means that analysis and design activities have
to be organized in largely traditional, non-component-oriented ways, but
it makes component development and assembly a highly-complex task,
burdened with many trivial technical details. This seminar will present a
model-driven (UML-based) approach to component engineering, which frees
the developer from trivial platform dependencies and allows an
organization core business components to be described in platform
independent way. Based on an integration of the KobrA and RUP methods,
the approach supports the model-driven architecture (MDA) paradigm in
terms of components.
***
New Perspectives on Risk Management: An Integrated Approach
-
Risk management is recognised as a necessary activity in order to improve
the chances of achieving general business and project success. This
tutorial discusses 'conventional risk management' in relation to software
development and highlights the strengths and weakness of current risk
management processes and techniques. This will include a review of
available risk techniques and standards. In particular, newer
perspectives about risk management will be advanced to counter current
weakness. These approaches will address: an integration of risk types
(business to technical), the use of knowledge-based explanatory and
learning techniques, the role of risk repositories and decision support
systems; and risk coordination and sharing through team-working. John
Elliott, Research Manager - QinetiQ (UK) - Systems and Software
Engineering Centre.
***
Sucess and Failure Criteria for E-Working and E-Learning (Results from a
large trial across Europe)
-
This tutorial provides insight into the goals, approaches, and
implementations of a TEAMWORK initiative which bases on previous EU
results and works towards an integrated solution including methodology,
technology platform, andsocial aspects. Major success factors are
highlighted for the establishment of virtual organisations. Also the
experiences and what challenges virtual organisations will face in the
future are discussed. A European eWorking system will be demonstrated
currently adapted for
* ISO 15504 compliant processes in the defence sector
* ISO 9001:2000 and ESA standards in the aerospace sector
* ISO 9000-2 in the service sector for innovation transfer agencies in
different European countries
* e-government
* and news agencies collaboration.
Sucess and failure criteria for establishing collaborations across
different regions, in multinational projects, and cross cultural
environments will be highlighted.
***
Integrated use of SPICE and CMMI
-
This tutorial gives a practival approach in integrated use of the two
well-known reference models, ISO15504 (SPICE) and CMMI. The very latest
versions of the models is first discussed. For example, SPICE Exemplar
Assessment Model is just changing quite radically and new version is
coming to first balloting phases. CMMI just released their latest version
1.1. Integrated use of SPICE and CMMI has been done several times in
Finland and these experiences are discussed in details. Both assessment
and SPI contexts are presented. Some knowledge management approaches use
these models as a source for learning. Patterns-project (IST-2000-21520)
is currently developing one such practical approach, and that is
discussed and demonstrated.
***
Software Engineering Decision Support: Methodology and Applications
-
The need for further development of software engineering practices within
companies adds to the demand for systematic knowledge and skill
management in combination with active usage of this knowledge to support
decision-making at all stages of the software lifecycle. The process of
software development and evolution is an ambitious undertaking involving
a huge number of variables under dynamically changing requirements,
processes, actors, stakeholders, tools and techniques. Very often, this
is combined with incomplete, imprecise, fuzzy or inconsistent information
about all the involved artefacts. The challenge is to provide sound
methodological support for enabling good decisions about processes and
products, risks and bottlenecks as well as for selection of tools,
methods and techniques. The tutorial presents basic methodology to enable
software engineering decision support, i.e., modelling, measurement,
simulation, and decision analysis. The different concepts and approaches
are explained and illustrated by using case studies from requirements
engineering, reuse of components, and selection of software packages. Dr
Ruhe studied Mathematics at Leipzig University from 1970 to 1975. He
received a Dr. rer. nat. degree in Mathematics with emphasis on
Operations Research from Freiberg University, Germany and a Dr. habil.
nat. degree from the Technical University of Leipzig, Germany. He had a
visiting professorship at University of Bayreuth in 1991/92 and got an
Alexander von Humboldt research fellowship at University of
Kaiserslautern. Ruhe was visiting scientist at the IBM Research Center in
Heidelberg in 1993. From 1996 until 2001 he was deputy director of the
Fraunhofer Institute for Experimental Software Engineering Fh IESE. Since
July 2001 he is an iCORE Professor and Industrial Research Chair in
Software Engineering at the University of Calgary. This is a joint
position of Department of Computer Science and Department of Electrical
and Computer Engineering.
***
Designing Software for the Web
-
This tutorial covers some of the topics related to the exciting new
programming models that are used to support web and e-commerce
applications. Participants will be studying the software design,
interface design, and development side of web applications. Goals are to
understand how to design usable software interfaces, learn how to build
software that accepts information from users across the web and returns
data to the user, and understand how to interact with database engines to
store and retrieve information. Specific topics that are touched are
HTML, CGI programming, Java, Java applets, Javascripts, and Java
servlets. Jefferson Offutt is an associate professor in the Department of
Information and Software Engineering, is a Research Scientist on a
part-time basis with the National Institute of Standards and Technology's
Information Technology Lab, Software Diagnostics and Conformance Testing
Division, and holds a part-time visiting professor position at Skvde
University in Sweden. His current research interests include program
testing, object-oriented program analysis, module and integration
testing, software architecture-based system testing, and formal methods.
He has published over sixty refereed research papers and conferences and
has received funding various government agencies and companies. His
current projects include NSF and NASA funded research to measure software
maintenance of open-source software, analysis and testing of
object-oriented software, testing of web applications, and deriving tests
from formal specifications of safety critical software.
***
Specification of Quality Requirements, Design and Evolutionary Plans
-
This tutorial will give detailed definition and practical examples of an
advanced specification language for requirements, design and projects.
The language is centered on the idea that all dimensions of quality
should be expressed quantitatively, whether they be requirements, design
impacts or Evolutionary project step impacts on quality. In addition the
multiple dimensions of resource are simultaneously tied to the quality
and performance dimensions of the specifications. The language (called
'Planguage') has years of practical use in many multinational
corporations. Planguage is the only language of remotely similar nature.
Most specification languages in software engineering are over-focussed on
function and cases; paying only lip service to quality. Planguage is a
true systems engineering language for dealing directly with software
qualities, all dimensions of them. Tom Gilb is a leading independent
consultant and acknowledged expert in all aspects of systems planning and
development arising in large, dynamic multinational organizations. Over
the last 30 years he has developed and practiced advanced methods for
setting quality requirements, designing, quality control and project
management for IT projects, software projects, systems projects and
organizational projects. Tom has written several books including
"Principles of Software Engineering Management" and "Software
Inspection".
