Topics: Measurement and Analysis
In this report, the Software Engineering Institute has analyzed data related to DoD software projects and translated it into information that is frequently sought-after across the DoD.
Topics: Acquisition Support, Measurement and Analysis
This DoD Factbook is an initial analysis of software engineering data from the perspective of policy and management questions about software projects.
Topics: Measurement and Analysis
This report describes a trust model to enable the Federal Emergency Management Agency to maximize the effectiveness of the Wireless Emergency Alerts (WEA) service and provides guidance for alert originators in using WEA to maximize public safety.
Topics: Cybersecurity Engineering, Software Assurance
In this paper, the authors discuss how measurement can be applied improve the security characteristics of the software being developed.
This report describes line-funded exploratory new starts (LENS) projects that were conducted during fiscal year 2012 (October 2011 through September 2012).
Topics: Measurement and Analysis
In this presentation we describe a new, integrative approach for pre-Milestone A cost estimation, which we call QUELCE (Quantifying Uncertainty in Early Lifecycle Cost Estimation).
Topics: Measurement and Analysis
In this podcast episode, Jim McCurley and Robert Stoddard discuss a new method developed by the SEI's Software Engineering Measurement and Analysis (SEMA) team, Quantifying Uncertainty in Early Lifecycle Cost Estimation (QUELCE).
In this paper, the authors provide a bibliography of sources related to security.
Topics: Secure Coding
In this report, the authors describe the CERT Program's Source Code Analysis Laboratory (SCALe), a conformance test against secure coding standards.
Topics: Measurement and Analysis
The method of quantifying uncertainty described in this report synthesizes scenario building, Bayesian Belief Network (BBN) modeling and Monte Carlo simulation into an estimation method that quantifies uncertainties, allows subjective inputs, visually depicts influential relationships among program change drivers and outputs, and assists with the explicit description and documentation underlying an estimate.
Topics: Measurement and Analysis
This research demonstrated the effectiveness of various statistical techniques for discovering quantitative data anomalies.
Topics: Secure Coding
In this report, the authors describe the Source Code Analysis Laboratory (SCALe), which tests software for conformance to CERT secure coding standards.
Topics: Measurement and Analysis, Process Improvement, TSP
A set of measures was determined that allow analyses This report discusses the application of a set of measures to a data set of 41 TSP projects from an organization to identify their strengths and weaknesses.
Topics: Measurement and Analysis, Process Improvement, System of Systems
This 2010 report describes a series of ongoing research efforts that investigate the role of interdependence in the acquisition of major defense acquisition programs.
Topics: Measurement and Analysis
This report describes results from two recent surveys conducted by the Software Engineering Institute (SEI) to collect information about the measurement and analysis activities of software systems development organizations.
Topics: Measurement and Analysis
This report contains results from a survey of high maturity organizations conducted by the Software Engineering Institute (SEI) in 2008. The questions center on the use of process performance modeling in those organizations and the value added by that use.
Topics: Measurement and Analysis
This report describes common errors in measurement and analysis and the need for a criterion-based assessment method that will allow organizations to evaluate key characteristics of their measurement programs.
Topics: Cybersecurity Engineering, Software Assurance
In this paper, the authors provide a bibliography of sources related to software engineering.
