The impact of maturity, scale and distribution on software quality : An industrial case study

Vaka, Kranthi, Narla, Karthik January 2017 (has links)
Context. In this ever-changing world of software development, the process of organizations adopting distributed development is gaining prominence. Implementing various development processes in such distributed environment is giving rise to numerous issues which affects the quality of the product. These issues could be due to the involvement of architects across national borders during the process of development. In this research, the focus is to improve software quality by addressing the impact of maturity and scale between teams and its affect on code review process. Further to identify the issues behind the distribution between teams separated by geographical, temporal and cultural distances. Objectives. The main objective of this research is to identify how different factors such as maturity on quality of deliverables, scale and distribution that impacts the code review process affecting software quality. Based on code review comments in data set, the factors that were examined in this research are evolvability of defects and difference in the quality of software developed by mature and immature teams within code review process. Later on, the issues related to the impact of geographical, temporal and cultural distances on the type of defects revealed during distributed development are identified. Methods. To achieve these objectives, a case study was conducted at Ericsson. A mixed approach has been chosen that includes, archival data and semi-structured interviews to gather useful data for this research. Archival data is one of the data collection method used for reviewing comments in data set and gather quantitative results for the study. We employed approaches such as descriptive statistics, hypothesis testing, and graphical representation to analyze data. Moreover, to strengthen these results, semi-structured group interview is conducted to triangulate the data and collect additional insights about code review process in large scale organizations. Results. By conducting this research, it is inferred that teams with a lower level of maturity produce more number of defects. It was observed that 35.11% functional, 59.03% maintainability, 0.11% compatibility, 0.028% security, 0.73% reliability, 4.96% performance efficiency, 0.014% portability of defects were found from archival data. Majority of defects were of functional and maintainability type, which impacts software quality in distributed environment. In addition to the above-mentioned results, other findings are related to evolvability of defects within immature teams which shows that there is no particular trend in increase or decrease in number of defects. Issues that occur due to distribution between teams are found out in this research. The overall results of this study are to suggest the impact of maturity and scale on software quality by making numerical assumptions and validating these finding with interviews. Interviews are also used to inquire information about the issues from dataset related to the impact of global software engineering (GSE) distances on code review process. Conclusions. At the end of this research it is concluded that in these type of projects, immature teams produce more number of defects than mature teams. This is because when large-scale projects are distributed globally, it is always harder to share and acquire knowledge between teams, increase group learning and mentor teams located in immature sites. Immature developers have problems of understanding the structure of code, new architects need to acquire knowledge on the scope and real time issues for improving quality of software. Using results presented in this thesis, researchers can find new gaps easily to extend the research on various influences on code review process in distributed environment.

Contribution à la ré-identification de véhicules par analyse de signatures magnétiques tri-axiales mesurées par une matrice de capteurs / Contributions to vehicles re-identification by an analysis of magnetic signatures measured with a matrix of three-axis magnetic sensors

Pitton, Anne-Cécile 15 January 2015 (has links)
La ré-identification de véhicules permet d’estimer deux paramètres clés en gestion dynamique de trafic : les temps de parcours et les matrices origine-destination. Dans cette thèse, nous avons choisi d'effectuer cette ré-identification par analyse des signatures magnétiques mesurées par des capteurs tri-axiaux placés sur la chaussée. La signature magnétique est générée par l'aimantation du véhicule : elle est alors susceptible de varier en fonction de l'orientation du véhicule par rapport au champ magnétique terrestre (à cause de l'aimantation induite dans le plan horizontal), et en fonction de sa position latérale relative par rapport aux capteurs. Les expérimentations que nous avons menées nous ont permis d'obtenir une base de données de signatures magnétiques, et ainsi d'évaluer les performances des deux méthodes de ré-identification que nous avons élaborées.La première méthode consiste à comparer directement des paires de signatures magnétiques mesurées par les capteurs. Les calculs de distances entre les paires sont effectués avec des algorithmes classiques comme la distance euclidienne. Les résultats obtenus sont très bons, et baissent peu lorsque le véhicule change d'orientation. Toutefois, ils sont très sensibles à la déformation des signaux due au décalage latéral du véhicule, et nécessitent donc de positionner un capteur tous les 0.20m sur toute la largeur de la voie.Dans un second temps, nous proposons une méthode de ré-identification qui compare des paires de modèles magnétiques de véhicules. Ces modèles sont composés de plusieurs dipôles, et sont calculés à partir des signatures mesurées. La modélisation a pour but de s’affranchir du décalage latéral du véhicule, en remontant à la position relative du véhicule par rapport aux capteurs. Avec deux fois moins de capteurs que la méthode précédente, les résultats obtenus sur signaux réels sont également très bons, même s'ils sont un peu plus sensibles au changement d'orientation du véhicule. De plus, une simulation nous permet d'extrapoler qu'il est effectivement possible de s'affranchir du décalage latéral avec cette méthode. / Vehicle re-identification gives access to two essential data for dynamic traffic management: travel times and origin-destination matrices. In this thesis, we chose to re-identify vehicles by analysing their magnetic signatures measured with several 3-axis magnetic sensors located on the road. A magnetic signature is created by the vehicle magnetization. Therefore, the vehicle orientation to the Earth’s magnetic field (which determines the induced magnetization) and the variation of the lateral position of the vehicle relative to the sensors’ one might both have an impact on the magnetic signature. We gathered our experiments’ results into a database of magnetic signatures that we used to evaluate the performances of the two vehicle re-identification methods we developed.The first method is a direct comparison of pairs of magnetic signatures measured by the sensors. Distances between pairs of signatures are computed using classic algorithms such as the Euclidean distance. This method’s results are very positive and the vehicle change of orientation has only a slight impact on them. However, the distortion of signals due to a lateral offset in the vehicle position has a strong impact on the results. As a consequence, sensors have to be placed every 0.20m over the road’s entire width.The second proposed method compares pairs of vehicles’ magnetic models. Those models are composed of several magnetic dipoles and are determined from the measured signatures. Magnetic modelling aims to suppress the influence of the vehicle lateral position on the results by assessing the relative position of the vehicle above the sensors. Although the vehicle orientation has slightly more impact on the performances than with the first method, the overall results are more promising. This method also allows us to divide by two the number of sensors used.
