KSRA Research Association : Developing a Teaching Framework to support software inspection
Abstract:
Software development, one frequent reason that leads to low-quality software is the lack of skill in identifying the most important requirements. Unfortunately, many software engineering students are unfamiliar with prioritizing techniques, and they are not skillful to use the techniques in a specific situation or circumstance. The purpose of this study is to identify effective ways to educate software engineering students on requirement prioritization. To enable students to have a deeper understanding of requirement prioritization and to improve their practical ability, a teaching framework has been proposed. The framework’s structure is based on three main components: first, the guidelines to provide students with a basic concept; second, the empirical and completed samples to help students familiarize themselves with the process of prioritization; and third, the exercises and simulated cases to improve the practical skills and abilities of students. The teaching framework has been implemented as a web-based teaching tool. Teaching tool evaluation results show that 86.6% of respondents believe that the proposed teaching framework helps them to have a better understanding of requirement prioritization.
Keywords: software requirement prioritization, requirement prioritization teaching framework.
About KSRA (Kavian Scientific Research Association)
The Kavian Scientific Research Association (KSRA) is a non-profit research organization to provide research / educational services in December 2013. The members of the community had formed a virtual group on the Viber social network. The core of the Kavian Scientific Association was formed with these members as founders. These individuals, led by Professor Siavosh Kaviani, decided to launch a scientific / research association with an emphasis on education.
KSRA research association, as a non-profit research firm, is committed to providing research services in the field of knowledge. The main beneficiaries of this association are public or private knowledge-based companies, students, researchers, researchers, professors, universities, and industrial and semi-industrial centers around the world.
Our main services Based on Education for all spectrums people in the world. We want to make an integration between researches and educations. We believe education is the main right of Human beings. So our services should be concentrated on inclusive education.
The KSRA team partners with local under-served communities around the world to improve the access to and quality of knowledge based on education, amplify and augment learning programs where they exist, and create new opportunities for e-learning where traditional education systems are lacking or non-existent.
