A Survey of Software Reliability factorIOSR Journals
This document discusses factors that affect software reliability and approaches to improving software reliability. It first defines software reliability and lists some key factors that influence reliability, such as software defects, requirements analysis, cost, size estimation, and how reliability is measured. Requirements analysis factors include feasibility studies, surveys, interviews, and testing. Cost is affected by the programmer's knowledge, software architecture, and resource allocation. The document then outlines two approaches to enhancing software reliability: 1) incorporating fault removal efficiency into reliability growth models by accounting for imperfect debugging and new faults introduced during testing, and 2) analyzing software metrics from object-oriented programs to better measure reliability.

Security has always been a great concern for all software systems due to the increased incursion of the wireless devices in recent years. Generally software engineering processes tries to compel the security measures during the various design phases which results into an inefficient measure. So this calls for a new process of software engineering in which we would try to give a proper framework for integrating the security requirements with the SDLC, and in this requirement engineers must discover all the security requirements related to a particular system, so security requirement could be analyzed and simultaneously prioritized in one go. In this paper we will present a new technique for prioritizing these requirement based on the risk measurement techniques. The true security requirements should be easily identified as early as possible so that these could be systematically analyzed and then every architecture team can choose the most appropriate mechanism to implement them.
1. Project management is important for network implementation projects and involves determining feasibility, assessing needs, setting goals, planning tasks and timelines, managing communication, and contingency planning.
2. Network management includes monitoring performance and faults, tracking assets, and regularly maintaining and upgrading both hardware and software.
3. Careful planning is required for any network changes, including software updates, client and server upgrades, and adding or replacing physical equipment. Changes must be thoroughly tested and plans should allow for reverting changes if needed.
Critical System Specification in Software Engineering SE17koolkampus
The document discusses requirements for system reliability specification, including both functional and non-functional requirements. It describes various reliability metrics such as availability, probability of failure on demand, and mean time to failure that can be used to quantitatively specify reliability. It also emphasizes that reliability specifications should consider the consequences of different types of failures.
This document discusses challenges in software reliability and proposes approaches to improve reliability predictions and measurements. It addresses issues like:
1. The difficulty of modeling software reliability due to the complexity and interdependence of software failures, unlike independent hardware failures.
2. Challenges with software reliability growth models (SRGMs) due to unrealistic assumptions and lack of operational profile data.
3. The need for consistent, unified definitions of software metrics and measurements to better assess reliability.
4. Questions around how well testing effectiveness metrics like code coverage actually correlate with detecting defects and reliability. The relationship between code coverage and reliability is not clearly causal.

A Combined Approach of Software Metrics and Software Fault Analysis to Estima...IOSR Journals
The document presents a software fault prediction model that uses reliability relevant software metrics and a fuzzy inference system. It proposes predicting fault density at each phase of development using relevant metrics for that phase. Requirements metrics like complexity, stability and reviews are used to predict fault density after requirements. Design, coding and testing metrics are similarly used to predict fault densities after their respective phases. The model aims to enable early identification of quality issues and optimal resource allocation to improve reliability. MATLAB is used to define fault parameters, categories, fuzzy rules and analyze results. The goal is a multistage fault prediction model for more reliable software delivery.

The document discusses developing a software analyzer tool using a software reliability growth model to improve software quality. It proposes an Enhanced Non-Homogeneous Poisson Process (ENHPP) model to estimate software reliability measures like remaining faults and failure rate. The ENHPP model explicitly incorporates a time-varying testing coverage function and allows for imperfect debugging and coverage changes over testing and operation. It is validated on real failure data sets and shown to provide better fit than existing models. The goal is to enhance code reusability, minimize test effort estimation and improve reliability through the testing phase of the software development life cycle.
The use of an architecture–centered development process for delivering information technology began with the introduction of client / server based systems. Early client/server and legacy mainframe applications did not provide the architectural flexibility needed to meet the changing business requirements of the modern manufacturing organization. With the introduction of Object Oriented systems, the need for an architecture–centered process became a critical success factor. Object reuse, layered system components, data abstraction,
web based user interfaces, CORBA, and rapid development and deployment processes all provide economic
incentives for object technologies. However, adopting the latest object oriented technology, without an adequate understanding of how this technology fits a specific architecture, risks the creation of an instant legacy
system.
The document describes an employee management system developed for GEA Process Engineering (India) Private Limited. It includes sections on the existing system, requirements for a new system, hardware and software needs, project management, system users, analysis, design, implementation, testing, screenshots and future enhancements. The system allows administrators to add, edit and verify employee information, line managers to access reports on their department employees, and employees to access their own details. It aims to reduce workload and improve information management over the previous system.
This document provides an overview of software testing techniques and their maturation over time. It examines the major research results that have contributed to the growth of testing as an area.

Running Head: CYBER SECURITY IMPROVEMENT AREAS
CYBER SECURITY
Cyber Security Improvement Areas
Pureland Wastewater Treatment is a company that provides all aspects of waste water treatment especially in the areas of both biological fermentation industries as well as chemical manufacturing. However, due to the toxic nature of the chemicals this company uses, it has quite some special security concerns. However, it is good to note that this company has only put all its efforts on physical security and completely ignoring on the cyber security. The Department of Homeland Security however recently contacted both the organization’s operation folks as well as the executives in regard to the chemical they use in their operations terming it as very toxic. As much as the company knew that this chemical, ( Chlorine Dioxide) is very harmful, little did it not know that it is prone to risks such as cyber terrorism. DHS therefore needs the company to comply with not only the physical but also cyber security regulations that are related to the use of this chemical failure to which they will be subjected to heavy fines and penalties or even the closure of the company.
Personally, there are a number of ways that I would recommend the company to follow so as to ensure not only the improvement of the company’s security, but also so as to ensure compliance. To begin with, the company needs to create an internal policy. This is because one of the greatest cyber security risks in any company is usually the employees. For example, there are quite a lot of cases where criminals get through a company’s network either because an employee used a poor password or he/she clicked on a line in an email which led to the installation of a malware. Therefore, as much as the employees should be educated or rather informed of the latest scams that are going around, it is always good to check with the personnel who put the server so as to ensure that all the company’s protection rights are in place. Secondly, the company needs to ensure that all its computers are up to date. This basically means that the personnel behind the computers have to ensure that all the notifications regarding firewall, operating system or even antivirus are all up to date failure to which they may lead to the creation of cracks within the defense system.
Thirdly, the company can consider using cloud services so as to store their data as well as when it comes to handling their application needs. This is because, with the cloud services, the companies crucial information remains safe even when let’s say a malware destroys some files since the cloud services can provide backup at any time. However, the company should remember to only stick on reputable companies. Fourthly, increasing the employees’ awareness is also very necessary. Actually, it is one of the most cost effective methods of curbing cyber-attacks. Awareness can only be achieved through training. The company needs to tr ...

The document aims to determine which of these two parameter estimation methods can best identify failures at early stages of software reliability monitoring.
Penetration testing is a series of activities undertaken to identify and exploit security vulnerabilities. It helps confirm the effectiveness or ineffectiveness of the security measures that have been implemented. This paper provides an overview of penetration testing. It discusses the benefits, the strategies and the methodology of conducting penetration testing. The methodology of penetration testing includes three phases: test preparation, test and test analysis. The test phase involves the following steps: information gathering, vulnerability analysis, and vulnerability exploit. This paper further illustrates how to apply this methodology to conduct penetration testing on two example web applications.
A survey of online failure prediction methodsunyil96
The document surveys online failure prediction methods. It defines key terms like faults, errors, failures and symptoms. A taxonomy of online failure prediction approaches is developed to structure the wide spectrum of methods. Almost 50 online failure prediction techniques are surveyed and their quality is evaluated using established metrics.
Contributors to Reduce Maintainability Cost at the Software Implementation PhaseWaqas Tariq
This document discusses factors that can reduce software maintenance costs during the implementation phase. It identifies that maintenance costs are highest during software development phases. The objective is to define criteria to assess software quality characteristics and assist during implementation. This will help reduce maintenance costs by creating criteria groups to support writing standard code, developing a model to apply criteria, and increasing understandability. Student groups will study code standardization, write programs, and test software maintenance on programs to validate the model and proposed criteria.

Running Head: CYBER SECURITY IMPROVEMENT AREAS
CYBER SECURITY
Cyber Security Improvement Areas
Pureland Wastewater Treatment is a company that provides all aspects of waste water treatment especially in the areas of both biological fermentation industries as well as chemical manufacturing. However, due to the toxic nature of the chemicals this company uses, it has quite some special security concerns. However, it is good to note that this company has only put all its efforts on physical security and completely ignoring on the cyber security. The Department of Homeland Security however recently contacted both the organization’s operation folks as well as the executives in regard to the chemical they use in their operations terming it as very toxic. As much as the company knew that this chemical, ( Chlorine Dioxide) is very harmful, little did it not know that it is prone to risks such as cyber terrorism. DHS therefore needs the company to comply with not only the physical but also cyber security regulations that are related to the use of this chemical failure to which they will be subjected to heavy fines and penalties or even the closure of the company.
Personally, there are a number of ways that I would recommend the company to follow so as to ensure not only the improvement of the company’s security, but also so as to ensure compliance. To begin with, the company needs to create an internal policy. This is because one of the greatest cyber security risks in any company is usually the employees. For example, there are quite a lot of cases where criminals get through a company’s network either because an employee used a poor password or he/she clicked on a line in an email which led to the installation of a malware. Therefore, as much as the employees should be educated or rather informed of the latest scams that are going around, it is always good to check with the personnel who put the server so as to ensure that all the company’s protection rights are in place. Secondly, the company needs to ensure that all its computers are up to date. This basically means that the personnel behind the computers have to ensure that all the notifications regarding firewall, operating system or even antivirus are all up to date failure to which they may lead to the creation of cracks within the defense system.
Thirdly, the company can consider using cloud services so as to store their data as well as when it comes to handling their application needs. This is because, with the cloud services, the companies crucial information remains safe even when let’s say a malware destroys some files since the cloud services can provide backup at any time. However, the company should remember to only stick on reputable companies. Fourthly, increasing the employees’ awareness is also very necessary. Actually, it is one of the most cost effective methods of curbing cyber-attacks. Awareness can only be achieved through training. The company needs to tr ...

risk-based approach of managing information systems is a holistic.docxodiliagilby
risk-based approach of managing information systems is a holistic activity that should be fully integrated into every aspect of the organization, from planning and system development lifecycle processes to security controls allocation and continuous monitoring. The selection and specification of security controls support effectiveness, efficiency, and constraints via appropriate laws, directives, policies, standards, and regulations.
The NIST Special Publication 800-37: Guide for Applying the Risk Management Framework to Federal Information Systems provides a disciplined and structured process that integrates information security and risk management activities into the development lifecycle by identifying the following six steps:
• Step 1 – Use an impact analysis to categorize the system and the information it processes, stores, and transmits.
• Step 2 – Select the set of initial or baseline security controls for the system based on the security categorization. Tailor and supplement the set of baseline security controls according to the organizational assessment of the risk and the conditions of the operational environment. Develop a strategy for continuous monitoring to achieve security control effectiveness. Document all the controls in the security plan. Review and approve the security plan.
• Step 3 – Implement the security controls and describe how the security controls are employed within the system and its environment of operation.
• Step 4 – Assess the security controls using the appropriate procedures as documented in the assessment plan. This assessment determines whether the security controls have been implemented correctly and will effectively produce the intended outcome.
• Step 5 – Authorize information system operation if the estimated risk resulting from the operation is acceptable. The assessment considers risk to organizational assets and operations (including mission, functions, image, or reputation), individuals, and other organizations.
• Step 6 – Monitor the security controls on an ongoing basis. Monitoring includes assessing control effectiveness, documenting changes to the system or its environment of operation, conducting security impact analyses of these changes, and reporting the security state of the system to designated officials.
While the risk management framework is adaptable to most scenarios, it defaults to the traditional IT environment and requires customization to successfully address the unique characteristics of cloud-based services and solutions. The CRMF closely follows the original RMF approach. Table E.1 shows the aforementioned six steps listed in the right column, with each step grouped into one of the three main activities in the left column that collectively comprise the risk management process:
Table E.1 The six steps are mapped to each of the three activities comprising the CRMF.
Adopting the approach outlined by these steps enables organizations to systematically identify their common, hybrid ...

Many companies and agencies conduct IT audits to test and assess the.docxtienboileau
Many companies and agencies conduct IT audits to test and assess the rigor of IT security controls in order to mitigate risks to IT networks. Such audits meet compliance mandates by regulatory organizations. Federal IT systems follow Federal Information System Management Act (FISMA) guidelines and report security compliance to US-CERT, the United States Computer Emergency Readiness Team, which handles defense and response to cyberattacks as part of the Department of Homeland Security. In addition, the Control Objective for Information Technology (COBIT) is a set of IT security guidelines that provides a framework for IT security for IT systems in the commercial sector.
These audits are comprehensive and rigorous, and negative findings can lead to significant fines and other penalties. Therefore, industry and federal entities conduct internal self-audits in preparation for actual external IT audits, and compile security assessment reports.
In this project, you will develop a 12-page written
security assessment report
and
executive briefing (slide presentation)
for a company and submit the report to the leadership of that company.
There are six steps to complete the project. Most steps in this project should take no more than two hours to complete, and the project as a whole should take no more than three weeks to complete. Begin with the workplace scenario, and then continue to Step 1.
Step 1: Conduct a Security Analysis Baseline
In the first step of the project, you will conduct a security analysis baseline of the IT systems, which will include a data-flow diagram of connections and endpoints, and all types of access points, including wireless. The baseline report will be part of the overall security assessment report (SAR).
You will get your information from a data-flow diagram and report from the Microsoft Threat Modeling Tool 2016. The scope should include network IT security for the whole organization. Click the following to view the data-flow diagram:

This document outlines the requirements for a mid-term assignment assessing strategic international business management. Students must analyze Aldi's potential expansion into one of three target markets - the Czech Republic, Mexico, or New Zealand - by conducting a PESTEL analysis in an appendix and justifying their choice of target market. They must then analyze opportunities/threats using Porter's Five Forces and strengths/weaknesses using VRIO analysis. Finally, students must recommend Aldi's most suitable entry mode and justify it based on their analyses. The assignment aims to assess students' analytical, research, and strategic skills, and will be evaluated based on demonstrated knowledge, argument development, and presentation quality.

This document provides an overview of wound healing, its functions, stages, mechanisms, factors affecting it, and complications.
A wound is a break in the integrity of the skin or tissues, which may be associated with disruption of the structure and function.
Healing is the body’s response to injury in an attempt to restore normal structure and functions.
Healing can occur in two ways: Regeneration and Repair
There are 4 phases of wound healing: hemostasis, inflammation, proliferation, and remodeling. This document also describes the mechanism of wound healing. Factors that affect healing include infection, uncontrolled diabetes, poor nutrition, age, anemia, the presence of foreign bodies, etc.
Complications of wound healing like infection, hyperpigmentation of scar, contractures, and keloid formation.
How to Manage Reception Report in Odoo 17Celine George
A business may deal with both sales and purchases occasionally. They buy things from vendors and then sell them to their customers. Such dealings can be confusing at times. Because multiple clients may inquire about the same product at the same time, after purchasing those products, customers must be assigned to them. Odoo has a tool called Reception Report that can be used to complete this assignment. By enabling this, a reception report comes automatically after confirming a receipt, from which we can assign products to orders.

THE SACRIFICE HOW PRO-PALESTINE PROTESTS STUDENTS ARE SACRIFICING TO CHANGE T...indexPub
The recent surge in pro-Palestine student activism has prompted significant responses from universities, ranging from negotiations and divestment commitments to increased transparency about investments in companies supporting the war on Gaza. This activism has led to the cessation of student encampments but also highlighted the substantial sacrifices made by students, including academic disruptions and personal risks. The primary drivers of these protests are poor university administration, lack of transparency, and inadequate communication between officials and students. This study examines the profound emotional, psychological, and professional impacts on students engaged in pro-Palestine protests, focusing on Generation Z's (Gen-Z) activism dynamics. This paper explores the significant sacrifices made by these students and even the professors supporting the pro-Palestine movement, with a focus on recent global movements. Through an in-depth analysis of printed and electronic media, the study examines the impacts of these sacrifices on the academic and personal lives of those involved. The paper highlights examples from various universities, demonstrating student activism's long-term and short-term effects, including disciplinary actions, social backlash, and career implications. The researchers also explore the broader implications of student sacrifices. The findings reveal that these sacrifices are driven by a profound commitment to justice and human rights, and are influenced by the increasing availability of information, peer interactions, and personal convictions. The study also discusses the broader implications of this activism, comparing it to historical precedents and assessing its potential to influence policy and public opinion. The emotional and psychological toll on student activists is significant, but their sense of purpose and community support mitigates some of these challenges. However, the researchers call for acknowledging the broader Impact of these sacrifices on the future global movement of FreePalestine.

1. Cyber Security Improvement Plan
1. Case Learning Objectives:
This assignment provides practical experience developing a plan to improve security on an
Industrial Control System based on a completed Cyber Security risk assessment (provided to
the student). The following learning objectives are designed to reinforce the unique
requirements associated with Industrial Control System Security.
Document and communicate the current state for security of the ICS
Provide an overview of the network design including major weaknesses in the
physical design and layout of network components with suggested network layout
improvements
Identify the threats and vulnerabilities facing the assets of an Industrial Control
System including Advanced Persistent Threats and recommend potential security
measures that could have prevented those incidents
Understand applicable regulations and include provisions for achieving compliance
within the plan
Based on knowledge of recommended security best practices and standards,
document and communicate the desired future state for security of the ICS
Build the plan in a way that incorporates differing levels of security controls
depending on risk and criticality of the various devices within the system
Demonstrate understanding of ICS functionality, network components, and protocols
by devising a plan that improves security and concurrently minimizes negative
impact to process operations and productivity
Provide multiple options for security enhancements to management with guidance on
trade-offs involved with the different options
Demonstrate awareness of the unique challenges the exist in securing Industrial
Control Systems and customize security plan to address those challenges
2. Assumptions for this case
Build your security improvement plan while taking into account the following assumptions.
The information provided in the risk assessment is accurate.
Time Horizon for implementation is 12-24 months.
DHS Regulated Chemical of Interest is used at the Pressurization Station which is
physically isolated from the main plant site at a remote location with good physical
security.
Sample organization is using two ICS standards systems to target Cyber Security
improvements:
1. NIST Guide to Industrial Control Systems (ICS) Security as its preferred
guidance document.
2. Department of Homeland Security CFATS regulation where chemicals of
2. Interest are used.
Security on the business network is average for a mid-sized corporation but has much
room for improvement and routinely deals with malware infection and security
incidents.
