The results obtained in this paper will be useful during the software testing process.Originality/valueThe present ...

Once a blessing became huge problem in organizations, data all over the organization was becoming difficult to manage and inconsistency of data resulted in creation of team not meant for development but data management. Many organizations have started reinvesting in data management in the form of creation of Data Warehouse and again organisation across the globe are not stressing upon user needs and demands but only focusing on integration of heterogeneous data sources with goal of making data centralised and consistent by creating Warehouse. 21st century user has needs, he/she not only needs data but needs refined and cleaned data, he/she wants data in his/her desired format. While data integration is paramoun...

Many efforts towards the secure system development methodologies like secSDLC by Microsoft have been made but the measurement scale on which the security can be measured got least success. As with a shift in the nature of software development from standalone applications to distributed environment where there are a number of potential adversaries and threats present, security has been outlined and incorporated at the architectural level of the system and so is the need to evaluate and measure the level of security achieved. In this paper we present a framework for security evaluation at the design and architectural phase of the system development. We have outlined the security objectives based on the security requirements of the system and analyzed the behavior of various software architectures styles. As the component-based development (CBD) is an important and widely used model to develop new large scale software due to various benefits like increased reuse, reduce time to market and cost. Our emphasis is on CBD and we have proposed a framework for the security evaluation of Component based software design and derived the security metrics for the main three pillars of security, confidentiality, integrity and availability based on the component composition, dependency and inter component data/information flow. The proposed framework and derived metrics are flexible enough, in way that the system developer can modify the metrics according to the situation and are applicable both at the development phases and as well as after development.

Although crucial to software quality, software testing is mostly less formal and rigorous than it should, and a primary reason for that is because it is not performed systematically. At ...

We cannot build quality software, or improve our process, without measurement. Measurement activities keep us actively involved in, ...

An important aspect of test planning is measuring test effectiveness. To make testing more successful we need to choose effective testing techniques. To compare testing techniques we need to place software testing techniques on a measurement scale which can define the relative merits of the existing testing techniques, but due to differences in software's and its allied parameters this task seems to be complex, if not impossible

Although most of the times urinary tract infections are not life threatening but if not diagnosed and treated well in diseases of Urino-Genital tract overlap with the symptoms of UTIs to a greater extent. This overlapping makes the diagnosis challenging and chances of misdiagnosis increase considerably particularly in case of junior physicians. data mining to diagnose UTIs on the basis of clinical symptoms presented in a health care facility.

Industry practitioners need concrete evidence to select proper testing techniques in STLC. Despite the large number of empirical studies which attempt to study the testing techniques’ applicability conditions and allied factors, we are still without realistic and generalized results as studies lack a formal foundation and are not complete in all respects. Additionally, besides varying significantly in terms of parameters they have taken into consideration, many existing studies show contradictory results. Even though the researchers stress on replication of these studies under a common set of guidelines, however, attempts to aggregate results from such replications still has not been fruitful so far. As such, to bridge the gap between researchers and industry professionals, we propose to carry out evaluation of testing techniques on a large scale under a unified framework in an open-source fashion so that the realistic and generalized results are obtained in a shorter span of time

Though, it is not possible to spell out the better of the two software engineering processes, the paper outlines the areas where the open source methodology holds edge over conventional closed source software engineering. Then, the weaknesses are also highlighted, which tilt the balance the other way. Design/Methodology/Approach: The study is based on the works carried out earlier by the scholars regarding the potentialities and shortcomings of OSSS. Findings: A mix of strengths and weaknesses make it hard to pronounce open source as the panacea. However, the open source does have very promising prospect; owing to its radical approach to the established software engineering principles, it has spectacularly managed to carve a “mainstream” role, that too in just over a few decades. Keywords: Open Source Software (OSS); Open Source Development Paradigm; Software Engineering; Open Source Software Engineering.

After that on 14 M arch 2020 the M inistry of Home Affairs, India decided to treat COVID-19 as a "notified disaster" due to the spurt in the cases related to coronavirus in the country, leading to a complete shut down from 24 M arch 2020. This has affected all sectors of the country including the education sector. The near-total closure of schools, colleges, and universities has disrupted academic activities at various levels. The objective of this online survey study is to understand the day to day living, activities, learning styles, and mental health of young students of India during this unprecedented crisis and assess how they are adapting to the new e-learning styles and how they are managing their social lives.
