Yazılım geliştirme süreci için takım toplantıları olmazsa olmaz aktivitelerdendir. Bu toplantılar, genellikle, yüz yüze yapılsa da COVID-19 salgını gibi değişen küresel koşullar, yazılım geliştirme takvimini kesintiye uğratmadan başka türlü çözümlerin sürece acilen dahil olmasını gerektirmektedir ve bu konudaki literatür henüz yeterince olgunlaşmam...

Software project management is a significant software engineering practice that is highly related to achieving software-specific project goals. This study aims to share students' perceptions of incorporating an international software estimation challenge called "COSMIC Students' Estimation Challenge" into a software project management course. For t...

The notion of a metaverse seems hard to define but encourages the impression that it can be considered as a new virtual metaphysical landscape that somehow goes beyond our geographical locations and understanding (i.e., independent of time and space). Based on virtual reality, augmented reality, and blockchain, it is envisioned as an independent bu...

Functional size has been used in software engineering for more than 40 years. When measured early in the software development life cycle, it can serve as direct input for effort estimation. The COSMIC Functional Size Measurement (FSM) method developed by the Common Software Measurement Consortium (COSMIC) is the latest ISO-compliant functional sizi...

Abstract. Agile methods are being used frequently in today’s software industry. In these methods, more care is taken to deliver working software products in short time intervals and to adapt to customer change requests as much as possible. As a result of this, detailed documentation of requirements is pushed into the background in agile and develop...

In this paper, we identify two distinct behavioral strategies for dealing with problems encountered in the use of mobile apps - fight or flight. In the fight strategy, individuals do not give up using an app when faced with a problem; rather, they experiment with different ways to cope with that problem, whereas the flight strategy refers to the us...

The instructors generally utilize conventional methods in teaching software engineering courses, where the students are provided theoretical knowledge based on text books or lecture notes. Usage of collaborative tools may be a solution to the problems of not practicing the depth of the components of the subject. This study proposes the usage of a c...

In many companies, software testing practices and processes are far from mature and are usually conducted in an ad hoc fashion. Such immature practices lead to negative outcomes—for example, testing that doesn’t detect all the defects or that incurs cost and schedule overruns. To conduct test maturity assessment (TMA) and test process improvement (...

Agile methodologies have gained significant popularity among software development organizations during the last decade. Although agile methodologies are regarded as minimizing formal processes, they still utilize an estimation methodology for proper management. Story point is the most common input for agile effort estimation. Story point is an arbi...

Purpose Testing is one of the indispensable activities in software development and is being adopted as an independent course by software engineering (SE) departments at universities worldwide. The purpose of this paper is to carry out an investigation of the performance of learners about testing, given the tendencies in the industry and motivation...

: Software testing practices and processes in many companies are far from being mature and are usually conducted in ad-hoc fashions. Such immature practices lead to various negative outcomes, e.g., ineffectiveness of testing practices in detecting all the defects, and cost and schedule overruns of testing activities. To conduct test maturity assess...

In this paper an empirical study was carried out to study the Cloud Computing (CC) perception in Turkey. To this extent this study intends to determine the perception of Information Technology decision makers such as Chief Executive Officers and Chief Information Officers by means of a survey by questionnaire approach to explore 98 both public and...

Even though cloud computing is a technological paradigm that has been adopted more and more in various domains, there are few studies investigating the software development lifecycle in cloud computing applications and there is still not a comprehensive software development process model developed for cloud computing yet. Due to the nature of cloud...

Team work is considered a valuable teaching technique in higher education. However, the assessment of an individual's work in teams has proved to be a challenging task. Consequently, self- and peer-evaluations are becoming increasingly popular for the assessment of individuals in a team work, though it is essential to determine whether students can...

Software verification and validation (V & V) is one of the significant areas of software engineering for developing high quality software. It is also becoming part of the curriculum of a universities' software and computer engineering departments. This paper reports the experience of teaching undergraduate software engineering students and discusse...
