The author examines the aspect of one of the military strategies – the so-called “hybrid warfare”. Analysis is conducted on the key components of “hybrid” actions. Examination of historical allows concluding that these approaches have deep historical roots. This refers not to the classical mercenary, but namely to “hybrid” actions, when the contractor and purpose of mercenaries are hidden, and military actions are accompanied by economic confrontation and mass cyber-attacks. The author carries out component-wise analysis for understanding the nature of emergence and waging of “hybrid” warfare at different historical stages. Based on the experience of conducting warfare and armed conflicts, the conclusion is made that the threat of “hybrid” actions is extremely relevant currently and in the foreseeable future. Moreover, the author determines that other previously existing but modified with consideration of new factors of civilizational development “hybrid” approaches towards organization of inter-state confrontation may be implemented. The need to ensure readiness of the Russian Federation to parrying such threats is underlined.
The article deals with the applied software quality assessing issues. The work relevance is determined by the fact that currently, in the normative documents there is a list of the main characteristics assessing the application programs quality, which, as shown, is not fully fit for purpose, providing no quality control and compliance testing programs to customer requirements, formulated in the development task. One of the reasons for the current situation is the systems’ quality evaluating exclusively quantitative indicators impossibility that combines both technical means and a human operator. An attempt to use world practice, for example, relatively successful quality models from the ISO/IEC 25000: 2014 standards have not yet been implemented: the model itself is allowed for use by regulatory documents (GOST R ISO/IEC 25010-2015), but the quality indicators described in it are not accepted. Private improvements to existing methods do not solve the problem systematically. In the article, based on the software existing approaches to assessing the quality analysis, a scientific and practical problem’s formulation is formulated and one of the approaches to its solution is proposed, based on the existing methods’ refinement for assessing quality based on the model described in GOST R ISO/IEC 25010, taking into account real users needs, interpreted through reducing the errors’ likelihood of the first and second kind that arise when using the software. The formulated problem solution will provide a general increase in the automated control effectiveness through the use of the quantitative and qualitative assessments of the software being developed
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
