“…Measuring software processes with the use of process metrics enables objective and quantitative evaluation of software processes, which can lead to continuous improvement and learning [34], [42]. However, measuring process metrics is a challenge [43]. Software processes are inherently complex and intangible, which makes their measurement more difficult than their product counterparts [19], [41].…”

Agile software development has become commonplace in software development companies due to the numerous benefits it provides. However, conducting Agile projects is demanding in Small and Medium Enterprises (SMEs), because projects start and end quickly, but still have to fulfil customers' quality requirements. Objective: This paper aims at reporting a practical experience on the use of metrics related to the software development process as a means supporting SMEs in the development of software following an Agile methodology. Method: We followed Action-Research principles in a Polish small-size software development company. We developed and executed a study protocol suited to the needs of the company, using a pilot case. Results: A catalogue of Agile development process metrics practically validated in the context of a small-size software development company, adopted by the company in their Agile projects. Conclusions: Practitioners may adopt these metrics in their Agile projects, especially if working in an SME, and customise them to their own needs and tools. Academics may use the findings as a baseline for new research work, including new empirical studies.INDEX TERMS Agile software development, process metrics, software engineering, software quality, rapid software development, SMEs.

Peningkatan proses berkelanjutan pada pengembangan perangkat lunak adalah aspek yang sangat penting dalam organisasi pengembangan perangkat lunak berbasis web untuk memenuhi tujuan organisasi yang hemat biaya. Berdasarkan bukti-bukti penelitian sebelumnya, menunjukkan sebagian besar organisasi pengembangan perangkat lunak berbasis web menghadapi hambatan besar untuk mengadopsi model dan standar perbaikan manajemen proses perangkat lunak yang ada. karena mereka menganggap mereka berorientasi pada organisasi perangkat lunak tradisional. Pada artikel ini, kami ingin mengetahui pengaruh nyata penggunaan model kematangan peningkatan proses perangkat lunak untuk memandu organisasi pengembangan perangkat lunak berbasis web dalam meningkatkan program implementasi peningkatan proses perangkat lunak yang mereka miliki dengan belajar dari pengalaman organisasi lain yang sudah ada dalam mengembangkan proyek berbasis web. Kekuatan pada model yang kami gunakan adalah pemeriksaan dan analisis pendekatan peningkatan proses perangkat lunak yang ditemukan dalam literatur. Selain itu, model ini terinspirasi dari model CMMI dan didasarkan pada faktor penentu keberhasilan dan praktik terbaik yang diidentifikasi melalui literatur. Hasil yang dicapai menunjukkan ada pengaruh positip model dengan implementasi di dunia nyata.

“…The origin of such faults is variable; they can be caused by physical problems in the hardware of the robot, bugs in the software, unreliable algorithms or unexpected situations not considered during development Steinbauer (2013). A causal analysis of software defects creates opportunities for improvements in the development process and product quality Söylemez and Tarhan (2018). Steinbauer (2013) conducted a survey on faults in autonomous robots in the context of RoboCup.…”

Conventional approaches for the validation of robotic systems include simulations and functional software testing. Although these approaches are interesting, they do not offer coverage information to guide the testing activity. In this sense, the introduction of coverage testing to the validation of mobile robotic systems seems to promise. This paper proposes a integration testing approach for robotic systems in a simulation environment. The approach is composed of test scenarios, constructed based on functional testing, and structural testing towards revealing defects and providing a better systematization of the testing activity in this application domain. The proposed approach focuses on systems developed in ROS, the robot operating system, in which communication can be established through a publish/subscribe interaction schema. The paper provides an example of the way the integration testing approach can be applied to robotic systems. An experimental study conducted with developers of mobile robotic systems evaluated the gains and proved the applicability of the approach to the industry. The results confirmed its advantages for the integration testing of mobile robotic systems. It can check functional behavior (test scenarios), or reach a high structural coverage (coverage criteria), and reveal common defects in mobile robotic systems.
