“…Flow differs from traditional software project management because it focuses on managing queues rather than project timelines and phases (Anderson, 2013; Poppendieck, 2011; Power & Conboy, 2015; Reinertsen, 2009). Flow differentiates itself from agile management approaches by (1) adopting an end-to-end perspective of the whole process (Anderson, 2013; Anderson et al, 2011; Petersen, 2011; Reinertsen, 2009), (2) moving from time boxed sprints to continuous deployment of software, and (3) limiting work in progress (WIP) (Cawley, Wang, & Richardson, 2013; Petersen, 2011; Sjøberg, Johnsen, & Solberg, 2012). Flow aims to maximize a continuous flow of value by (1) implementing WIP limits; (2) permitting new work items to immediately enter the development process, and, when required, prioritize it within the WIP limits; and (3) removing impediments to flow (i.e., time boxed sprints, context switching).…”

Flow and its associated tools and metrics are increasingly being reported as an approach used to achieve continuous deployment of software and delivery of value in software development projects. Yet, the extant literature on flow tools to date is rather limited. Also, what does exist tends to largely focus on the generic version of flow, rather than any rigorous examination of its use in the turbulent and constantly changing ‘real world’ environment within which it is applied. This study draws on a longitudinal case to identify the challenges of implementing flow and to provide a research agenda for flow project management.

“…It is less costly and even the time taken by this approach is one third in comparison to the other approaches. However, in spite of its merits, this method entails a security risk [30]. Figure. 1 shows the list of factors affecting the design of web application security at first level.…”

Security and design tactics estimation of web application for ensuring the security, efficiency and design tactics of web applications is necessary. A survey conducted by the security research team, Micro Focus, of the USA reveals that 80% of the vulnerability defects occur due to the coding defect, validation causes 60% of the errors, 70% errors are due to encapsulation and path traversal. Such statistics call for a more efficacious design to enhance software security. The primary research goal of this study is to compute or evaluate the security threats of the software and web applications from the perspective of design tactics. Towards this intent, we have employed the methodology of Fuzzy Analytic Hierarchy Process (F-AHP) to evaluate the security factors or obtain the weight of different factors. The different design tactics of web application have also been selected according to the factors that affect the security. In this article, researchers have used a crossbreed technique of fuzzy based Multi Criteria Decision Method (MCDM) technique, i.e., F-AHP and Fuzzy Technique for Order of Preferences by Similarity to Ideal Solutions (F-TOPSIS) Technique. The results of the assessment of security will be helpful for developers or experts in designing the security tactics of software or web applications. We have also compared the results of classical and Fuzzy approach to determine the weight of alternatives or attributes and rank of the factors. This process is an effective and conclusive methodology for the developers working for more enhanced secure design tactics of software and web application design.

“…The objective of this paper therefore is to add to the existing conversation on value in requirements and software research projects brought about by lean [3,5] and agile [18,19] methods. We aim to inspire a discussion on the application of a lean mindset and lean development approaches in the planning and execution of DSR projects towards this regard.…”

Abstract. [Context and motivation:]As a relevant and viable research methodology that addresses the development and empirical investigation of new artifacts, design science research (DSR) has gained traction in the requirements and software engineering research community over the past decade.[Question/Problem:] In this paper, we deliberate the synergies between the lean mindset and DSR, and explore the application of lean development approaches in the planning and execution of software and requirements engineering research projects. [Principal idea:] The widespread adoption of lean approaches in many business and technology practices today provides the impetus to explore their application in the context of software and requirements engineering empirical research. Toward this, we offer a review of key principles underlying the lean mindset and provide an overview of the typical processes followed in DSR research projects. Subsequently, we reflect the potential for lean development approaches to facilitate DSR projects. [Contribution:] We propose a conceptual framework that integrates lean principles with DSR phases and outputs, and we aim to inspire future discussion on the application of the lean mindset in the planning and execution of empirical research projects.
