Option A: Critical Analysis
Review the software measurement and SQE practice in your company or your former company, and write a short essay to summarize the current/previous practice, analyze its strength and weakness areas, and discuss possible improvements based on overview of Measurement/SQE activities we discussed in class so far. You should focus on the description of the measurement activities and related metrics and analyses used and the followup actions (if any) carried out, and your critique (critical analysis and suggested improvements), not just general software process or management issues.
(This is probably more appropriate for software professionals. However, if you don’t feel comfortable discussing the practices at your company, you may choose the second option below.)
Option B: If you do not have too much to report in the “practice” part, or if you don’t feel comfortable discussing the Measurement/SQE practice at your current/former company due to whatever reasons, you can select a chapter/paper from our online reading list for topic 1 of our CSE 8314, or related papers or book chapters on similar topics, and write a summary of the chapter/paper.
(This is probably more appropriate for full-time students. Please make sure it is your own summary, based on your understanding of the subject after reading/studying, not something directly from the original source you have just studied.)
You summary/essay should be around 2-3 double-spaced pages.
Select at least two metrics from each of the following three categories: “hard” science, “soft” science, and engineering.
(Unlike a choice of either 1A or 1B above, you need to do both 2A and 2B here.)
