“…The successful allocation rate of the expansion matrix method decreases when the number of tasks increases It shows that RHA can effectively allocate tasks to development sites with the lowest cost when the number of tasks changes. In this section, we briefly review the existing task assignment methods [13][14][15][16][17][18][19][20][21][22][23][24][25][26] in global software distribution.…”

Abstract-The allocation of software development tasks is a critical management activity in distributed development projects. One of the most important problem is to find the lowest-cost way to assign tasks in global software development, which can be solved by Hungarian algorithm. However, the original Hungarian algorithm only assume that a task can only be solved by one development site. The assumption is not agreed with the actual case where a software development task is usually be solved through a collaboration among several sites. To address such an issue, this paper proposes a reinforced Hungarian algorithm (RHA) for task assignment in global software development. RHA consists of three major stages. First, RHA transforms a n×m cost matrix into two n×n cost matrix by adding (2n-m) virtual development sites. Second, RHA performs the original Hungarian algorithm on the two n×n cost matrix to get the optimal assignment results. Finally, RHA removes the (2n-m) virtual development sites and gets the final optimal assignment result for m tasks. Simulation results indicate that RHA is a viable approach for the task assignment problem in global software development. 1

“…The role traceability plays has expanded and it has become an important tool in the software development activities of project management, change management, and defect management [26]. This is par-ticularly relevant as software development is increasingly globally distributed across multiple teams and sites [27], [28]. It is therefore essential to have an effective traceability process in place as it provides an essential support for developing high quality software systems [29].…”

Software traceability is central to medical device software development and essential for regulatory approval. In order to comply with the regulatory requirements of the medical device industry it is essential to have clear linkages and traceability from requirements -including risks -through the different stages of the software development and maintenance lifecycles. The regulatory bodies request that medical device software development organizations clearly demonstrate how they follow a software development lifecycle without mandating a particular lifecycle. However, due to the traceability requirements of the industry most medical device companies adopt the V-model. Within this chapter we will discuss the importance of traceability to medical device software development, the current state of practice within the industry in relation to traceability and how we feel that traceability could be improved within the industry. The chapter also describes the development and implementation of a medical device traceability software process assessment method (Med-Trace) in two medical device software development organizations. We include these two case studies as one involved a medical device SME based in Ireland and the other a medical device SME based in the UK as we want to illustrate that Med-Trace can be applied within different countries.
