Šio dokumento tikslas sukurti metodus ir papildomą medžiagą, kuri leistų analizuoti ir verifikuoti "PKP Branda" modelio vertinimų rezultatus. "PKP Branda" modelis buvo sukurtas CMMI bei SPICE modelių pagrindu. Šiame darbe, panaudojant modelyje aprašytus darbo produktus (DP), buvo nagrinėjami "PKP Branda" modelio ryšiai tarp procesų. Darbo metu buvo apskaičiuoti modelio ryšiai tarp procesų, procesų svoriai, išskirti esminiai procesai. Šio darbo rezultatai gali būti naudojami kaip papildoma medžiaga analizuojant vertinimų rezultatus. / The aim of this thesis is to create methods and extra material which would allow to analyze and verify the assessment results from the “PKP Branda” maturity model. "PKP Branda" model was created using CMMI and SPICE best practices. In this work relations between the ����PKP Branda” model processes were researched using work products described in the model. During this research relations between processes and their weight were calculated, essential processes were excluded. The results of this work can be used as an extra material to analyze assessment results.

Interdisziplinäre Arbeiten gewinnen längst nicht nur in der Hochschullandschaft an Aufmerksamkeit. Selbst dort, wo viele verschiedene Disziplinen auf dichtem Raum nebeneinander existieren, wurde dieses Potential in der Vergangenheit noch allzu selten genutzt. Mittlerweile wird von der Wissenschaftspolitik interdisziplinäre Forschung zunehmend gefordert und ist zudem mit hohen Erwartungen verknüpft (siehe z.B. Hollaender 2003). Daher werden vielerorts nun Kooperationen nicht nur an Rändern der klassischen Disziplinen sondern auch zwischen völlig themenfremden Disziplinen gebildet, wobei der Ruf nach Interdisziplinarität aus Gesellschaft und Politik an die Wissenschaft herangetragen wird (Jungert 2010). Auch in der industriellen Produktentwicklung gewinnt die interdisziplinäre Arbeit getrieben durch kürzere Entwicklungszyklen und komplexere Produkte sowie Funktionsintegration stetig an Bedeutung. Teams in der Produktentwicklung sind meist interdisziplinär und interfunktional zusammengesetzt (Ehrlenspiel 2003, Prasad 1996). Absolventen wissenschaftlicher Disziplinen erwartet daher im späteren Arbeitskontext trotz weiterhin meist fachspezifischer Ausbildung immer häufiger interdisziplinäre Team- und Projektarbeit.

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.

Auditors review documented financial figures to test for their accuracy and materiality. Lawyers analyze evidential facts and records to build sound legal arguments. These parties work toward a mutual purpose: to present their clients as legitimate and compliant businesses. But what happens when the concrete facts upon which lawyers and auditors base their work are obscured by their inability to see into the future? In other words, how can these professions conjunctively handle potential future obligations brought about by contingent liabilities? This study will attempt to resolve the tensions that emerge between lawyers and auditors when tasked with estimating the likelihood and financial value of contingent liabilities. It considers the strict regulations set forth by the ABA and FASB and how each side might circumvent the guidelines to allow for better collaboration. Addressing a focal point of contention between the legal and financial professions for decades, this study will also look at past attempts at mediating the conflict as well as current proposals to alter the contingent liability disclosure process. Most importantly, it distinguishes itself from prior research by implementing firsthand arguments from professionals in each field to improve the cooperative landscape. Collectively weighing previously attempted solutions, current regulatory barriers, and professional guidance, this study proposes a three-step solution toward initiating reform between lawyers and auditors to enhance the visibility, precision, and ease of disclosing contingent liabilities.
