Program management in the field of project management presents relatively new management method that links the correspondence of the particular projects with an organization strategy. Formation of the optimal portfolio projects for program results from the company goals, desired benefits, from the limitation of available resources, relations and connections among particular projects, and last but not least, from expectations of stakeholders. Its application in the organization can expressively improve the efficiency and the transparency over transmission the vision of the company to project level. The first, theoretical part, compares project, program and portfolio and their lifecycles. Rest of work contains a methods used to implementation of program management. Main goal of this thesis is to provide overview information on this area and introduce basic practices how to implement program management to a reader's organization.

This study is primarily focused on software testing, especially on regression tests and their automation. The main objective is to introduce and verify a novel procedure for implementation and automation of software regression testing. Specific objectives include putting regression testing into the context of other types of tests applied to software testing, introduction of a novel Methodology for analysis of automation of regression tests, introduction of a novel Methodology for analysis of implementation of regression tests, practical verification of the applicability of both methodologies on a real project and a suggestion of how to adapt these methodologies on the basis of practical usage. The theoretical part of this study summarizes the basic theory of software testing, decomposing it in detail, and introducing its various levels, types and categories. It also presents the field of test automation, explains its advantages and disadvantages and introduces an overview of test types, which are generally recommended for automation. More attention is paid to regression testing and its prerequisites and potential for automation. The practical part of this study consists of the proposition of two methodologies, explaining their usage in a particular practical project and focuses on the evaluation of success of practical utilization of both methodologies. Based on this evaluation, these methodologies are consequently extended. Outputs of the study are also extended variants of Methodology for analysis of automation of regression tests and Methodology for analysis of implementation of regression tests, which are available for usage on other practical projects.

This diploma thesis is centred on the importance of State support for exports. It defines the international rules which must be respected by State export policies, and deals with the basic principles and activities of institutions which together form the integrated system of State support for exports in the Czech Republic. Within this overall context, the practical component of this diploma thesis examines the work of the Czech State Export Credit Agency (EGAP), and describes their newly created Export Promotion Effectiveness methodology (EPE) which aims to evaluate the economic risk-benefit of a each business case. It goes on to describe the phases and steps of the underwriting process which every business case must go through. The underwriting process is illustrated with the help of a process map, and defines points at which the EPE model can be used. An important part of this diploma thesis represents a case study which demonstrates the application of the EPE model to a real business case.

The aim of this dissertation thesis is to develop new methodology of information systems penetration testing based on analysis of current methodologies and the role of penetration tests in context of IS/IT governance. Integral part of this aim is evaluation of the methodology. The first part of the thesis is devoted to the presentation of history and current state of research in selected area, definiton of basic terms and introduction of role of the penetration tests. This part is followed by the review of relevant sources and comparative study of current methodologies with a goal to identify their weaknesses. Results from this study are further used as a basis for new methodology development. Classification of IS penetration tests types and testing scenarios are also included. The second part includes design of new methodology, at first its history, structure and principles are presented, then its framework is decribed in high level of detail. In the third part the reader can find (theoretical and practical) validation. The biggest scientific contribution is the methodology itself focused on managment of penetration tests (which is the area currently not sufficiently descibed). Secondary contribution is the extensive review and the comparative analysis of current methodologies. Contribution to the economic and technical (practical) application we can mainly see in the development of new methodology which enables companies to improve management of penetration tests (especially planning, operational management and implementation of countermeasures).

This thesis is focused on design methodology of administration and management of issues, using issue-tracking system. The objective is to create such methodology and deploy it to specific organization. During methodology creation, there were used best practices, acquired from source thesis and authors experiences. In theoretical part of thesis are described approaches, witch is this thesis based on. Then thesis describes what issue-tracking system is and lists mostly used issue-tracking systems. In practical part, the methodology itself is created. At first, target group is described. Then, types of issuse and roles used in issue-tracking system are described. Then is described, how to create lifecycle of issue and how to handle with its attributes. Last part is focused on data reporting from issue-tracking system. Last chapter of practical part describes how to implement methodology to issue-tracking system JIRA.

The thesis focuses on the use of multiagent systems to model the rental housing market. At first the aim was to create the simulation, which would bring a new perspective on the development of the entire market. For this purpose I selected a relatively young methodology titled Agentology, which was subjected to the criticism of a model after finishing the model. That was a secondary principal objective of this thesis. The work is divided into two parts. In the first theoretical part the rental housing market is described and there are discussed the most important factors affecting its state. Simultaneously the chapter describes the most significant State interventions into the market, as we know them from the official housing policies. In the next stage the reader is made familiar with the basic principles of multi-agent modeling. In this chapter there is also an overview of selected methodologies of multiagent systems and one of them is selected and applied in further phases of this work. The second part refers to the multi-agent model. Using the Agentology methodology market model is assembled. The methodology accompanies all stages of model development from the task formulation, through conceptual and technological level to the final evaluation. This work strictly adheres to the methodology and all its recommendations. In the end, the result represents a model whose functionality has been verified by analyzing the output data. Finally the thesis deals with criticism of the Agentology methodology. This criticism is a result of experience gained from previous development. It concerns evaluation of concrete steps and also of methodology as a whole in terms of admittance, integrity and practicality.

The aim of this thesis is to define the audit issues regarding IS/ICT sector, creating a summary of standards, frameworks and best practices in IS/ICT - usable for IS auditing and mutual mapping of selected standards to the chosen reference framwork of ICT and following related goal is to make a procedure for the mapping of IT processes on standards in the field of IS/ICT. The aim of this thesis is description and mapping of the most important methodologies, standards and best practices related to the management and audit of IS/ICT and following related goal is building a procedure that allows the company to assess readiness for the certification of any of the selected standards, implement an alternative methodology for IT management or audit IS/ICT. First, the notion of audit is defined and discussed, followed by the discussion of the issue of IT audit, together with the financial audit. This is followed by a description of the different methodologies and approaches, which I used in my work. The chapter continues the description of methodology section that describes the mapping results. The actual mapping is in a separate Excel file and is part of this thesis. In the next chapter there is a procedure for mapping of business processes to different methodologies and standards used for management and audit of IS / ICT, which was created by myself.

Diploma thesis "Prototyping in software development" deals with the use of prototyping in software development with focus on the user interface (UI). Main goal of thesis is extension of MMSP methodology with sphere of the user interface prototyping which has been achieved by the definition of new object in the methodology. The text defines two new roles (objects): UI Designer and Graphic Designer. The roles already defined in MMSP were extended with responsibilities and tasks related to UI prototyping. Other newly added objects are Work Products (e.g. sketch or rules for creation of UI) and Tasks (e.g. sketching). The inclusion of prototyping into life-cycle phases of software development (defined by the methodology) includes all newly added objects. In the beginning the thesis generally concentrates on the definition of the term prototype and the categorization of prototypes. In the next part the thesis describes the possibilities of the use of prototyping in the process of software development and defines criteria for the selection of the best tool for creation of prototypes (wireframes). The sixth chapter focuses on the process of selection of the methodology suitable for the extension with the area of UI. The last chapter contains the MMSP methodology extension itself.

There are many methodologies in the field of software engineering that focus on the entire software development process. The software development process aims to provide a quality product that meets user requirements, and to deliver it on time as well as within budget. Testing is a tool for verifying the quality of software and serves as feedback in software development. Most software development methodologies are available only in English, they emphasize the actual software development and address testing only marginally. An accurately designed testing process however, may contribute to higher software quality and avoid potential problems resulting from the entire information system's failure. Current Czech methodology that focuses exclusively on testing has been developed either inside individual companies and thus is not accessible to the public, or is contained in graduate theses, where it was typically created by adapting and expanding the existing software development methodologies for testing within a particular company or team. The main objective of this thesis is to establish a methodology for testing in Czech, which is based on international practices and standards, which is not tailored to a specific organization and which can be used as guidance in defining test processes in various organizations, regardless of their specific focus. The proposed methodology is also implemented in the tool EPF Composer that enables administration of methodology and its publication in the form of the website. The thesis also pursues additional objectives. In order to verify the objective of developing a standardized testing methodology is met, the thesis strives to produce a subsequent evaluation methodology using a standardized process framework in order to improve the testing process as well as a summary detailing which areas may be the subject of further expansion methodology. The theoretical part of the thesis aims to evaluate software development methodologies in terms of testing, to provide an overview of standards related to testing and to describe selected standards, to clarify the purpose of certification in testing and to analyze the possibilities of utilizing materials to prepare for the ISTQB certification. The objectives were achieved by analyzing the available materials for ISTQB certification, analyzing software development methodologies, standards, the TMMi procedural framework and other resources that deal with testing as well as its methodologies and standards. The main contribution of this work is a testing methodology, which is based on the testing process as defined by the international organization ISTQB. It provides a methodological framework by interconnecting and expanding individual methodological elements. Elements of the methodology include working products, as specified by the methodology with respect to the IEEE 829 standard. The methodology does not depend on the needs of a particular company and may be easily adopted, managed and customized. It may be used as a starting point in creating a testing strategy in Czech companies focused on software development which are interested in approaching testing in compliance with international practices.
