A Model to Assist the Maintenance vs. Replacement Decision in Information Systems
(IGI Global, 2013) Pusatli, O.T.; Pusatlı, Özgür Tolga; Regan, B.; 51704; Yönetim Bilişim Sistemleri
An extensive literature review shows that Information Systems (IS) are changed and eventually replaced by substitutes under the influence of productivity, popularity, and specialisation of IS along with associated available support facilities, maintenance activities, failures, and user feedback. This chapter compiles those factors emerged from software engineering, IS, software quality assurance measurements, and computer science literature. A final product is a proposed model bringing those factors together as they are suspected to raise a need for taking the decision of evaluating change requests that may lead to a further maintenance or replace the IS. While keeping in mind that limitations on advanced testing exist, an expected service of such a model may help decision makers to explain maintenance/replacement decision of IS/component in a more itemized manner, hence diminish overburden pressure of experience responsibility on them. © 2014, IGI Global.

Software quality in academic curriculum: A case study in Turkey
(2012) Pusatli, O.T.; Misra, S.; 51704
A variety of courses are taught in the undergraduate programs of computer science, computer engineering, software engineering and information system engineering. The preferred choices of the software industry are for hiring engineers for their companies from these disciplines, related to this fact, the emphasis on quality in software given to the associated departments' students, hence on quality objectives in software process, are studied. With this aim, a survey of the curricula of these branches in the top ten Turkish universities is undertaken. Our observations show software quality is not considered commonly as a core course except in software engineering, while the computer engineering departments provide the majority of the graduates to the industry. The results may be interpreted as suggesting that a reason for loose monitoring of standards in the software industry may be associated with this observation because graduates with transcripts on quality are few in number. © 2012 IEEE.
