The aim of this master thesis is to resolve the problems based on requirements of the company. Initially a theoretical part was prepared which is focused on configuration management and related terms of a particular problem. After theoretical introduction it was systematically approached to the problem and a possible solution was proposed based on analysis of the current situation taking into account configuration management. The solution was to create a technical-organizational guideline which is a tool for the elimination of errors of employees and for general overview. The final technical-organizational guideline can be found in the attachment and in the main part of this thesis describes development of the guideline.

Thesis (MTech (Business Information Systems))--Cape Peninsula University of Technology, 2020 / A shared common understanding or context awareness (CA) of IT Audit and Governance among all the internal stakeholders of a business remains an important factor. This context awareness is needed between the business itself, the IT department, and the Audit and Risk functions of the business. The research problem states that there is a lack of shared context awareness among all stakeholders when conducting IT audits and implementing IT Governance. To answer the research questions, a case study research strategy was followed using an International Services Group of companies operating from South Africa. The case study offered a diverse group of companies and vast experience in the South African Services, Trading, and Distribution sector. The diversity of this group of companies made it a perfect candidate for understanding context and the value of context in IT when conducting IT audits. The following research questions were asked: i) What are the factors affecting a shared context understanding among the stakeholders when conducting IT audits and implementing IT Governance? ii) How can a shared context understanding among stakeholders be achieved when conducting IT audits and implementing IT Governance? The aim of the study was to explore the value of context awareness within IT Audit and Governance in order to identify the value of shared context understanding. Data collection was done by means of interviews using semi-structured questionnaires and an interview guide. Qualitative data analysis techniques were adopted for this research. The conclusion of the study highlights the importance of a collective understanding of the business’s context in order to obtain alignment in business, IT, and Audit. It refers to the same or a similar understanding of the business processes; this takes time and is unique on all levels.

The correctness of a workflow specification is critical for the automation of business processes. For this reason, errors in the specification should be detected and corrected as early as possible - at specification time. In this paper, we present a validation method for workflow specifications using model-checking techniques. A formalized workflow specification, its properties and the correctness requirements are translated into a timed state machine that can be analyzed with the Uppaal model checker. The main contribution of this paper is the use of timed model checking for verifying time-related properties of workflow specifications. Using only one tool (the model checker) for verifying these different kinds of properties gives an advantage over using different specialized algorithms for verifying different kinds of properties.

Toute institution concernée par le développement de logiciels, qu’il s’agisse d’un éditeur ou d’un organisme de services, doit faire face au challenge de compétitivité : “ faire de l’économie, un «objet de première classe» en génie logiciel ”. Cet impératif de penser l’économie du logiciel, s’est traduit par l’objectif d’obtenir une meilleure maîtrise sur la productivité du développeur. La Réutilisation Logicielle (Software Reuse) est un moyen privilégié d’augmenter cette productivité, en particulier quand elle est systématisée. Deux types d’activités doivent être considérés pour améliorer la réutilisation logicielle, le développement pour la réutilisation (development for reuse) et le développement par la réutilisation (development by reuse). Plusieurs solutions ont été proposées pour contribuer au développement pour la réutilisation. L’approche lignes de produits se distingue par sa contribution au développement par la réutilisation, à travers l’assistance et l’automatisation de la sélection, la configuration, et la dérivation de nouveaux produits. Néanmoins, malgré que cette approche a positionné la réutilisation comme activité centrale dans son processus de développement, celle-ci reste difficile à réaliser dans beaucoup de situations. Par exemple, en raison de l’absence de spécification ou gestion de la variabilité qui peut se manifester dans chacun des artefacts de toutes les étapes du cycle de développement. Dans ce cadre, la problématique générale de cette thèse CIFRE consiste en l’industrialisation d’une usine logicielle par la systématisation de la réutilisation dans chacune de ses étapes et la maximisation de l’automatisation des transitions entre étapes. Afin de mieux supporter l’agilité des environnements métier, notre premier objectif est la spécification de la variabilité au sein des modèles de processus métier, de sorte que les modèles conçus soient directement utilisables dans les usines logicielles. Notre second objectif consiste à introduire la spécification de la variabilité lors de l'ingénierie des exigences permettant ainsi de systématiser leur réutilisation, et l’établissement des liens de traçabilité avec les modèles de processus métier variables précédents. Ainsi, un modèle d’architecture logicielle (orientée services) peut être généré au sein de l'usine logicielle, comme implémentation des processus métier modélisés précédemment et dans le respect des exigences spécifiées. / Any organization involved in software engineering has to deal with reduction of production time and cost, in order to face the competitiveness challenge. This imperative of thinking the software economy resulted in the goal of getting better control on developer productivity. Software Reuse is a preferred way to increase the productivity, particularly when it is systematized. Two types of activities should be considered to improve software reuse, development for reuse and development by reuse. Several solutions have been proposed to contribute and improve development for reuse. For its part, product line approach is distinguished by its contribution to development by reuse through support and automation of selection, configuration, and derivation of new products. However, although this approach has positioned reuse as a core activity in its engineering process, it remains difficult to realize it in many situations. For example, due to lack of specification or management of variability which may occur in each artifacts from all steps of the engineering process. In this context, the general issue of this thesis consists in industrialization of software product line, by the contribution to systematization of reuse in each steps and automation of transitions between those steps. To better support the business agility, our first goal is the specification of variability within business process models, in order to make them directly usable into software factory. Our second goal is to introduce variability specification into requirements engineering, enabling systematic reuse of requirements models and establishing traceability links with previous models of variable business processes. Thus, an architecture model (service oriented) can be generated in software factory, as implementation of modeled business processes with compliance to specified requirements.
