A Proactive Attitude Toward Quality: The Project Defect ModelBen Linders
Over the last decade, the software industry has been investing heavily in software process improvement, such as CMM(I) initiatives. But achieving higher CMMI levels does not guarantee business success. Being able to define strategic business objectives and implementing a derived product development strategy with a proactive attitude toward quality determines whether one is successful in the long run.
This article focuses on the importance of quality, where the existing approach toward dealing with quality in the late testing phase is criticized. The author discusses how quality can be managed proactively, using an example from industry. Ericsson R&D Netherlands defined a project defect model and ran a pilot project to manage quality
throughout product development.
The document discusses quality standards, practices, and conventions for software testing and quality assurance. It covers topics such as software testing types, quality assurance, quality concepts, software standards organizations, basic practices like reviews and inspections, and coding conventions. Software configuration management is also introduced which involves tracking and controlling changes in software.
EDLC-EMBEDDED PRODUCT DEVELOPMENT LIFE CYCLESabeel Irshad
Embedded Product Development Life Cycle (Let us call it as EDLC, though it is not a standard and universal term) is an 'Analysis -Design -Implementation' based standard problem solving approach for Embedded Product Development. In any product development application, the first and foremost step is to figure out what product needs to be developed (analysis), next you need to figure out a good approach for building it (design) and last but not least you need to develop it (implementation).
Software quality assurance ensures that standards, processes, and procedures are appropriate for a project and implemented correctly. With increased complexity from technologies like client-server architectures, scalability, portability, distributed environments, and multi-user environments, SQA has become a core part of the software development lifecycle. Testing now begins earlier and involves every team member.

This document compares sequential and iterative project management approaches. It begins by providing context on the evolution of project management methodologies in IT to meet changing requirements. It then discusses the two main approaches - sequential and iterative. The sequential approach follows phases in a linear fashion where the output of one phase is the input of the next. An example is the waterfall model. Key advantages are its simplicity and structure while disadvantages include inability to adapt to changes and delays propagating between phases. The document aims to analyze the features and drawbacks of both approaches to determine which is better suited for different project types.

Abstract Loyal and steady customer base alone can keep the organizations successful in the current turbulent business environment. In the current era of software engineering, the success of a business process is measured in terms of „customer satisfaction‟ rather than any other criteria like meeting deadlines for delivery, optimization of data, architecture etc. Day by day, customers are turning out to be more demanding, as their expectations from the software are growing. In order to achieve customer satisfaction in a meaningful way, software engineers are looking for more effective development models. “Agile” is one such model, that fits the bill and therefore industry is looking at with interest .Is agile better than traditional waterfall model will agile work effectively with distributed teams which is most common in the current software engineering Phenomenon. This paper highlights a few challenges with Agile->scrum and gives an insight to the user whether the agile is THE SILVER BULLET . Index Terms: waterfall, Agile, Scrum, XP, distributed teams

How To Integrate Independent QA To Shorten Development CyclesAltoros
This document provides guidance on integrating independent quality assurance and testing across the product lifecycle to shorten software development cycles. It discusses how outsourcing QA can help technology companies innovate faster by reducing development cycles, improving customer satisfaction, and reducing costs. The key benefits of outsourcing QA include focused in-house resources, reduced total cost of ownership, and reduced technology risks.
The document provides an overview of Quality Function Deployment (QFD). QFD is a structured method used to translate customer requirements into technical requirements and product characteristics throughout the development process. It uses a tool called the "House of Quality" which maps customer needs, technical requirements, and their relationships. The House of Quality allows companies to focus design and development efforts on what matters most to customers. It can result in fewer design changes, start-up problems, shorter development times and lower costs.
The document discusses project planning, including topics like software pricing, plan-driven development, project scheduling, and agile planning. It covers the different stages of planning, from initial proposals to ongoing development. Project planning involves breaking work into parts, anticipating problems, and communicating the plan. Regular updates allow the plan to reflect new information and changes throughout the project.
“Software Testing is the process of executing a program or system with the intent of finding errors. Or, it involves any activity aimed at evaluating an attribute or capability of a program or system and determining that it meets its required results”
Currently Agile is one of the highly practiced methodologies. Agile is an evolutionary approach to software development which is performed in a highly collaborative manner by self-organizing teams that produces high quality software in a cost effective and timely way which also meets the changing needs of its stakeholders. The software is delivered to the customer very quickly; customer checks it for errors and sends some new changes and requirements to include before the last iteration. So, user is provided with a chance to test the product and provide the team with feedback about the working and the functionality of the system. Agile development approach believes in the involvement and frequent communication between the developer team and stakeholders, and regular delivery of functionality. According to Agile development, people are more important than processes and tools; and the customer must be involved in the entire process.
Smart Engineering 2.0 is a framework that uses modeling and simulation tools throughout the product development lifecycle to streamline medical device development. It enables design teams to communicate in real time using predictive models to reduce costly iterations and accelerate time to market. Cognizant's expertise in implementing Smart Engineering 2.0 for clients can help optimize development efforts by up to 40%, reduce design cycles by 35%, and accelerate time-to-market by 30%.
Quality Function Deployment (QFD) is a planning technique used to ensure customer requirements are incorporated into product design. It uses matrices like the House of Quality to translate customer wants/needs into technical requirements. A multidisciplinary team completes the House of Quality to prioritize engineering targets. Additional matrices address customer needs with technical solutions and propose processes. QFD was applied to inventory system design by identifying customer and technical requirements, then relating them in a House of Quality matrix. Several design concepts were generated and evaluated.

This document summarizes an experimental study on the flexural behavior of ferrocement slabs compared to reinforced concrete slabs under cyclic loading. Fourteen slab panels were tested to measure cracking loads, collapse loads, and deflections. It was found that ferrocement slabs exhibited more ductile behavior and higher loads than equivalent reinforced concrete slabs. Theoretical moment capacities calculated using different methods were also compared to experimental results. The study concluded that ferrocement slabs demonstrated superior flexural behavior to reinforced concrete slabs.
This document summarizes research on the metallurgical behavior of AISI 304 steel butt welds under segregation. It discusses how solidification, microstructure development, and alloying element segregation influence properties. Rapid solidification during welding can result in fully austenitic or ferritic microstructures instead of duplex ones. Segregation of elements like chromium and molybdenum occurs due to the formation of dendrites and concentration gradients. This can lead to the precipitation of brittle intermetallic phases and cracking in the weld metal. The document analyzes the solidification modes, microstructures, segregation ratios, and mechanical effects for AISI 304 steel welds.
This document summarizes a research paper that proposes a scheme for image transmission over OFDM systems using LDPC coding and trigonometric transforms. It aims to improve OFDM performance by reducing peak-to-average power ratio (PAPR) and enhancing image quality. The scheme uses SPIHT for image source coding, BPSK modulation, and inserts DCT or DST transforms after IFFT. Simulation results show the DST transform most effectively reduces PAPR compared to DCT. Reconstructed images also have improved visual quality with DST. The scheme thus enhances OFDM systems for image transmission applications.
The document summarizes experiments conducted to study the effect of dissipation blocks on the energy downstream of compound weirs. 240 experimental runs were performed using different types of triangular, horizontally, and vertically cut dissipation blocks placed in the stilling basin. Measurements of relative energy dissipation, hydraulic jump length, and roller length were taken for each experimental configuration. The results showed that compound weirs with lower V-notches and all dissipation block types had high energy dissipation efficiency, especially at high discharges. Hydraulic characteristic values were better for triangular cut angles of 45° and 60° compared to other block configurations. In conclusion, dissipation blocks improved hydraulic performance by increasing energy dissipation and reducing hydraulic jump length.
This document discusses human resource outsourcing. It begins by defining outsourcing and explaining the benefits it provides organizations, such as reducing costs, gaining expertise not available internally, and improving efficiency. It then discusses the key steps in the outsourcing process, including deciding which functions to outsource and selecting a provider. Common HR functions that are considered for outsourcing include payroll administration, recruitment, and training. Both large and small companies can benefit from HR outsourcing by gaining sophisticated HR capabilities at lower costs. However, precautions like retaining control over strategic functions and ensuring outsourced functions still meet needs are important.

Quality Function Deployment
In a few words: The voice of the customer translated into the voice of the engineer.
To design a product well, a design teams needs to know what it is
they are designing, and what the end-users will expect from it.
Quality Function Deployment is a systematic approach to design
based on a close awareness of customer desires, coupled with the
integration of corporate functional groups. It consists in
translating customer desires (for example, the ease of writing for
a pen) into design characteristics (pen ink viscosity, pressure on
ball-point) for each stage of the product development (Rosenthal,
1992).
Ultimately the goal of QFD is to translate
often subjective quality criteria into objective
ones that can be quantified and measured and
which can then be used to design and
manufacture the product. It is a complimentary
method for determining how and where
priorities are to be assigned in product
development. The intent is to employ
objective procedures in increasing detail
throughout the development of the product.
(Reilly, 1999)
Quality Function Deployment was developed
by Yoji Akao in Japan in 1966. By 1972 the
power of the approach had been well
demonstrated at the Mitsubishi Heavy
Industries Kobe Shipyard (Sullivan, 1986) and
in 1978 the first book on the subject was
published in Japanese and then later translated
into English in 1994 (Mizuno and Akao,
1994).
In Akao’s words, QFD "is a method for developing a design quality aimed at satisfying the
consumer and then translating the consumer's demand into design targets and major quality
assurance points to be used throughout the production phase. ... [QFD] is a way to assure the
design quality while the product is still in the design stage." As a very important side benefit he
points out that, when appropriately applied, QFD has demonstrated the reduction of development
time by one-half to one-third. (Akao, 1990)
The 3 main goals in implementing QFD are:
1. Prioritize spoken and unspoken customer wants and needs.
2. Translate these needs into technical characteristics and specifications.
3. Build and deliver a quality product or service by focusing everybody toward customer
satisfaction.

Product Concept
Since its introduction, Quality Function Deployment has helped to transform the way many
companies:
• Plan new products
• Design product requirements
• Determine process characteristics
• Control the manufacturing process
• Document already existing product specifications
QFD uses some principles from Concurrent Engineering in that cross-functional teams are
involved in all phases of product development. Each of the four phases in a QFD process uses a
matrix to translate customer requirements from initial plann.
This document summarizes a study on the impact of software development models on software delivery time. It analyzes the waterfall and spiral models. A survey was conducted of 22 software projects in India. The results showed that the waterfall model had a higher success rate of 76.4% for on-time delivery compared to 40% for iterative models. The waterfall model was used for 17 of the 22 projects and 13 of those 17 projects delivered on time. This suggests that the waterfall model has a more positive impact on software delivery time than the spiral model based on the sample of projects studied.

STATISTICAL ANALYSIS OF METRICS FOR SOFTWARE QUALITY IMPROVEMENT ijseajournal
Software product quality can be defined as the features and characteristics of the product that meet the user needs. The quality of any software can be achieved by following a well defined software process. These software process results into various metrics like Project metrics, Product metrics and Process metrics. Software quality depends on the process which is carried out to design and develop software. Even though the process can be carried out with utmost care, still it can introduce some error and defects. Process metrics are very useful from management point of view. Process metrics can be used for improving the software development and maintenance process for defect removal and also for reducing the response
time.
This paper describes the importance of capturing the Process metrics during the quality audit process and also attempts to categorize them based on the nature of error captured. To reduce such errors and defects found, steps for corrective actions are recommended.

Software Development Life Cycle (SDLC) Complete Guide.pdfJPLoft Solutions
Software development company creates software products in multiple stages to ensure their features meet user expectations while the various models or phases contribute towards creating an outstanding application.
Software projects mostly exceeds budget, delivered late and does not meet with the customer’s satisfaction for years. In the past, many traditional development models like waterfall, spiral, iterative, and prototyping methods are used to build the software systems. In recent years, agile models are widely used in developing the software products. The major reasons are – simplicity, incorporating the requirement changes at any time, light-weight approach and delivering the working product early and in short duration. Whatever the development model used, it still remains a challenge for software engineer’s to accurately estimate the size, effort and the time required for developing the software system. This survey focuses on the existing estimation models used in traditional as well in agile software development.
The performance of an algorithm can be improved using a parallel computing programming approach.

For this study, Thirty-six non-clinical employees were selected from twelve randomly selected Health Care organizations at Thanjavur. Thirty-two fully completed questionnaires were received.
Living in 21st century in itself reminds all of us the necessity of police and its administration. As more and more we are entering into the modern society and culture, the more we require the services of the so called ‘Khaki Worthy’ men i.e., the police personnel. Whether we talk of Indian police or the other nation’s police, they all have the same recognition as they have in India. But as already mentioned, their services and requirements are different after the like 26th November, 2008 incidents, where they without saving their own lives has sacrificed themselves without any hitch and without caring about their respective family members and wards. In other words, they are like our heroes and mentors who can guide us from the darkness of fear, militancy, corruption and other dark sides of life and so on. Now the question arises, if Gandhi would have been alive today, what would have been his reaction/opinion to the police and its functioning? Would he have some thing different in his mind now what he had been in his mind before the partition or would he be going to start some Satyagraha in the form of some improvement in the functioning of the police administration? Really these questions or rather night mares can come to any one’s mind, when there is too much confusion is prevailing in our minds, when there is too much corruption in the society and when the polices working is also in the questioning because of one or the other case throughout the India. It is matter of great concern that we have to thing over our administration and our practical approach because the police personals are also like us, they are part and parcel of our society and among one of us, so why we all are pin pointing towards them.

Globally, Millions of dollars were spent by the organizations for employing skilled Information Technology (IT) professionals. It is costly to replace unskilled employees with IT professionals possessing technical skills and competencies that aid in interconnecting the business processes. The organization’s employment tactics were forced to alter by globalization along with technological innovations as they consistently diminish to remain lean, outsource to concentrate on core competencies along with restructuring/reallocate personnel to gather efficiency. As other jobs, organizations or professions have become reasonably more appropriate in a shifting employment landscape, the above alterations trigger both involuntary as well as voluntary turnover. The employee view on jobs is also afflicted by the COVID-19 pandemic along with the employee-driven labour market. So, having effective strategies is necessary to tackle the withdrawal rate of employees. By associating Emotional Intelligence (EI) along with Talent Management (TM) in the IT industry, the rise in attrition rate was analyzed in this study. Only 303 respondents were collected out of 350 participants to whom questionnaires were distributed. From the employees of IT organizations located in Bangalore (India), the data were congregated.

By implementing talent management strategy, organizations would have the option to retain their skilled professionals while additionally working on their overall performance. It is the course of appropriately utilizing the ideal individuals, setting them up for future top positions, exploring and dealing with their performance, and holding them back from leaving the organization. It is employee performance that determines the success of every organization. The firm quickly obtains an upper hand over its rivals in the event that its employees having particular skills that cannot be duplicated by the competitors. Thus, firms are centred on creating successful talent management practices and processes to deal with the unique human resources. Firms are additionally endeavouring to keep their top/key staff since on the off chance that they leave; the whole store of information leaves the firm's hands. The study's objective was to determine the impact of talent management on organizational performance among the selected IT organizations in Chennai. The study recommends that talent management limitedly affects performance. On the off chance that this talent is appropriately management and implemented properly, organizations might benefit as much as possible from their maintained assets to support development and productivity, both monetarily and non-monetarily.
A STUDY OF VARIOUS TYPES OF LOANS OF SELECTED PUBLIC AND PRIVATE SECTOR BANKS...IAEME Publication
Banking regulations act of India, 1949 defines banking as “acceptance of deposits for the purpose of lending or investment from the public, repayment on demand or otherwise and withdrawable through cheques, drafts order or otherwise”, the major participants of the Indian financial system are commercial banks, the financial institution encompassing term lending institutions. Investments institutions, specialized financial institution and the state level development banks, non banking financial companies (NBFC) and other market intermediaries such has the stock brokers and money lenders are among the oldest of the certain variants of NBFC and the oldest market participants. The asset quality of banks is one of the most important indicators of their financial health. The Indian banking sector has been facing severe problems of increasing Non- Performing Assets (NPAs). The NPAs growth directly and indirectly affects the quality of assets and profitability of banks. It also shows the efficiency of banks credit risk management and the recovery effectiveness. NPA do not generate any income, whereas, the bank is required to make provisions for such as assets that why is a double edge weapon. This paper outlines the concept of quality of bank loans of different types like Housing, Agriculture and MSME loans in state Haryana of selected public and private sector banks. This study is highlighting problems associated with the role of commercial bank in financing Small and Medium Scale Enterprises (SME). The overall objective of the research was to assess the effect of the financing provisions existing for the setting up and operations of MSMEs in the country and to generate recommendations for more robust financing mechanisms for successful operation of the MSMEs, in turn understanding the impact of MSME loans on financial institutions due to NPA. There are many research conducted on the topic of Non- Performing Assets (NPA) Management, concerning particular bank, comparative study of public and private banks etc. In this paper the researcher is considering the aggregate data of selected public sector and private sector banks and attempts to compare the NPA of Housing, Agriculture and MSME loans in state Haryana of public and private sector banks. The tools used in the study are average and Anova test and variance. The findings reveal that NPA is common problem for both public and private sector banks and is associated with all types of loans either that is housing loans, agriculture loans and loans to SMES. NPAs of both public and private sector banks show the increasing trend. In 2010-11 GNPA of public and private sector were at same level it was 2% but after 2010-11 it increased in many fold and at present there is GNPA in some more than 15%. It shows the dark area of Indian banking sector.

ROLE OF SOCIAL ENTREPRENEURSHIP IN RURAL DEVELOPMENT OF INDIA - PROBLEMS AND ...IAEME Publication
The majority of the population in India lives in villages. The village is the back bone of the country. Village or rural industries play an important role in the national economy, particularly in the rural development. Developing the rural economy is one of the key indicators towards a country’s success. Whether it be the need to look after the welfare of the farmers or invest in rural infrastructure, Governments have to ensure that rural development isn’t compromised. The economic development of our country largely depends on the progress of rural areas and the standard of living of rural masses. Village or rural industries play an important role in the national economy, particularly in the rural development. Rural entrepreneurship is based on stimulating local entrepreneurial talent and the subsequent growth of indigenous enterprises. It recognizes opportunity in the rural areas and accelerates a unique blend of resources either inside or outside of agriculture. Rural entrepreneurship brings an economic value to the rural sector by creating new methods of production, new markets, new products and generate employment opportunities thereby ensuring continuous rural development. Social Entrepreneurship has the direct and primary objective of serving the society along with the earning profits. So, social entrepreneurship is different from the economic entrepreneurship as its basic objective is not to earn profits but for providing innovative solutions to meet the society needs which are not taken care by majority of the entrepreneurs as they are in the business for profit making as a sole objective. So, the Social Entrepreneurs have the huge growth potential particularly in the developing countries like India where we have huge societal disparities in terms of the financial positions of the population. Still 22 percent of the Indian population is below the poverty line and also there is disparity among the rural & urban population in terms of families living under BPL. 25.7 percent of the rural population & 13.7 percent of the urban population is under BPL which clearly shows the disparity of the poor people in the rural and urban areas. The need to develop social entrepreneurship in agriculture is dictated by a large number of social problems. Such problems include low living standards, unemployment, and social tension. The reasons that led to the emergence of the practice of social entrepreneurship are the above factors. The research problem lays upon disclosing the importance of role of social entrepreneurship in rural development of India. The paper the tendencies of social entrepreneurship in India, to present successful examples of such business for providing recommendations how to improve situation in rural areas in terms of social entrepreneurship development. Indian government has made some steps towards development of social enterprises, social entrepreneurship, and social in- novation, but a lot remains to be improved.
OPTIMAL RECONFIGURATION OF POWER DISTRIBUTION RADIAL NETWORK USING HYBRID MET...IAEME Publication
Distribution system is a critical link between the electric power distributor and the consumers. Most of the distribution networks commonly used by the electric utility is the radial distribution network. However in this type of network, it has technical issues such as enormous power losses which affect the quality of the supply. Nowadays, the introduction of Distributed Generation (DG) units in the system help improve and support the voltage profile of the network as well as the performance of the system components through power loss mitigation. In this study network reconfiguration was done using two meta-heuristic algorithms Particle Swarm Optimization and Gravitational Search Algorithm (PSO-GSA) to enhance power quality and voltage profile in the system when simultaneously applied with the DG units. Backward/Forward Sweep Method was used in the load flow analysis and simulated using the MATLAB program. Five cases were considered in the Reconfiguration based on the contribution of DG units. The proposed method was tested using IEEE 33 bus system. Based on the results, there was a voltage profile improvement in the system from 0.9038 p.u. to 0.9594 p.u.. The integration of DG in the network also reduced power losses from 210.98 kW to 69.3963 kW. Simulated results are drawn to show the performance of each case.

It applies a nonagonal fuzzy number to analyse the relevant performance of a multiple channel queuing model (M/M/C) ( /FCFS). Based on the sub interval average ranking method for nonagonal fuzzy number, we convert fuzzy number to crisp one. Numerical results reveal that the efficiency of this method. Intuitively, the fuzzy environment adapts well to a multiple channel queuing models (M/M/C) ( /FCFS) are very well.
