Business Intelligence platforms contain many detailed tools with overlapping functionality. The primary aim of this thesis is to compare two BI platforms from leaders in the market - IBM Cognos BI (version 10) and SAP Business Objects (version 3.1). This comparison emphasises their practical usefulness in both ad hoc and standard reporting. In the first theoretical chapter there is a definition of basic terms and a brief description of the BI solution. In the following two chapters there are detailed descriptions of IBM Cognos BI and SAP Business Objects platforms including the most important tools. The theoretical part of this thesis is based mostly on documentation. The practical part of this thesis defines criteria for the evaluation of BI platforms. Following this chapter is the main comparison based mostly on my practical experience with each tool and experience from a migration project from IBM Cognos to SAP BO. Workarounds are described in some cases to compensate for missing functionality. The results this thesis are evaluation criteria as well as a description and comparison of both platforms. The merit of this thesis is an identification of problematic functionality present in BI solutions from the points of view of new development, implementation and migration.

Mobilių technologijų populiarėjimas tarp vartotojų ir jų platformų įvairovė skatina mobilių programėlių kūrėjus užimti vis didesnę rinkos dalį. Kiekviena mobili platforma turi savo specifiką, todėl kūrėjams reikia vis daugiau žinių arba specialistų kuriant mobilias aplikacijas, tam reikalinga papildomų resursų, apmokymų,kaštų ir laiko. Vienas iš galimų problemos sprendimų, sukurti tam tikrus įrankius, kurie mobilių programėlių projektavimo ir kūrimo bei testavimo etape, leistų automatiškai suprojektuoti, suprogramuoti mobilias aplikacijas, nepriklausomai kokiai platformai išlaikant tos programėlės logiką. Tam pakaktų mobilių programų kūrėjams turėti vienai mobiliai platformai aprašytą modelį arba programėlę, ir iš jų remiantis MDA (Model Dirven Architecture) metodologijomis arba aprašytais karkasais atliktų transformacijas į reikiamą platformą. Šiame darbe pateikimas MDA principais paremtos sukurtos priemonės , kurios, atlieka programų transformacijas iš Android į Windows Phone. Įrodant transformacijų svarbą, atliktas transformavimo priemonių tyrimas, įvedant tam tikras metrikas ir jų palyginimą tarp atskirai realizuotų programų, šių priemonių transformuotų programų ir naudojant universalias priemones kaip JavaScript arba žiniatinklio principu veikiančių programų. / There is growth of mobile technologies and platforms providing for users so and developers of mobile applications need to take a larger market. There is some specificity of platforms, therefore developer needs a more knowledge or experts of mobile application developing where require a more resources, training, costs and it takes a time. One of the possible solutions to the problem, to make the tools which allow design and create mobile applications independent by platform keep the logic in design and development or testing phase. This is sufficient for developers to design or creates one mobile applications and using methods of Mobile Driven Architecture (MDA) and frameworks create transformations more applications many platforms. In this research paper representing the tools developed based MDA to carry out transformations from Android to Windows Phone. To prove the importance of transformations performed research of transformation tools with certain comparison of metrics between the programs of separated implementation, these tools transformed programs and used universal tools like JavaScript or web-based software implementation.

In the practical part of the work is first made the analysis of key processes itself, on which are then proposed various applications that are integrated with each other and form a comprehensive and integrated platform to support monitoring, evaluation and management of the entire IT company. The main contribution is in a comprehensive application infrastructure proposal, which should replace the current and non compliant one.

Diploma thesis focuses on open source business intelligence platforms. The main aim of this thesis is to compare open source BI platforms Pentaho BI Suite and Jaspersoft BI Suite using a set of criteria on the example of the solution for a fictive company. In order to achieve this goal, the research for criteria in already existing comparisons is made firstly and on the basis of this own comparative criteria and their weights are defined. Then important features of platforms under the BI solution primary layers are characterized. In the conclusion both platforms are evaluated and compared according to the result values of all criteria. The thesis is divided into two parts. The theoretical part deals with the analysis and definition of criteria and the BI platform introduction. Used criteria are analyzed in the Gartner research, in the book about business intelligence and in two diploma theses. Own defined criteria are divided into following groups: Installation, ETL, OLAP, Reporting and Documentation. The introduction includes description of components, licence politics and available editions. In the practical part the platform functionality is tested, the project created in both of them is specified and then platforms are evaluated and compared. The functionality testing is made progressively from installation, through ETL and OLAP to reporting. The main aim of this thesis is completed in the last chapter of the practical part, where both platforms are evaluated according to the set of defined criteria, first of all under the BI solution primary layers and then also from general point of view. Here is used the weighted sum method from the multi-criteria decision analysis. The contribution of this thesis is in the transparent confrontation of two open source BI platforms, in the definition of the comparative criteria set and also in the presentation of all tools strengths and weaknesses including screenshots.

The quality is probably the most significant property of a successful software product. As experience with many software projects has already shown, leaving out testing and quality management from software development process can result in vast and critical customer issues, which usually invoke additional expenses for the software production company. In the course of time, software testing as a discipline has therefore seized an important position among other software development activities. And due to the fact that the software, thanks to rising customer demands and growing competing products portfolio, is getting more complex, the more advanced software testing procedures need to be implemented. Test strategy and iteration planning, implementation of multiple test types into the test suite, test automation, evaluation, administration and maintenance: these activities are commonly required within larger software development projects. Formalized software testing is, nevertheless, being introduced also to projects using agile management techniques which, by management decision or target user industry, are supposed to deliver products of highest quality. This initiates the high focus on the software testing discipline. The purpose of this thesis is to design and implement a new system of software testing within a real project in the CertiCon a.s. company, for which software development is the main business activity. Current issues and gaps for possible improvement, gathered both by project management and the author himself, are analyzed in the first major part of this work and transformed into testing system requirements, which should cover both process changes as well as implementation/development of needed software supporting the process. The second part of thesis is covering the design of the new software testing system, focusing mainly on the area of test management and selection of appropriate software management tool. The final part of the thesis is aimed at implementation of the designed solution within a real organization environment and evaluates its benefits against the previously set requirements.

This thesis focuses on early beginnings of a video conferencing platform Zoom, its development and enormous rise during the global pandemic of COVID-19 disease, and on its influence on users. It focuses particularly on millennials who are already familiar with this kind of technology. The aim of this work is primarily to determine the effects of Zoom, as a video conferencing platform, on user's activities because they were used to perform them in a physical contact with other people. However, due to restrictions resulting from epidemiological measures, participants were forced to move their activities to the online environment. The thesis focuses on answering these research questions: How do people's behaviour, perception of the situation and their self-presentation change when using Zoom in comparison to a face-to-face meeting? How have the activities of users changed while using Zoom, due to COVID-19, namely March to December 2020? How and for what reasons do users use Zoom? How do users perceive Zoom's affordances? In order to answer these questions, qualitative research was conducted using semi-structured in-depth interviews. These were attended by ten respondents who regularly use Zoom for a certain activity that was carried out in personal before the pandemic. Respondents were millennials,...
