Selection and implementation of open source project and portfolio management tool
Kučera, Jan ; Chlapek, Dušan (advisor) ; Hausmann, Oto (referee)
Companies and other organizations have to change and adapt their strategies and redefine their goals constantly. Actions and steps that are needed in order to achieve the defined goals and to realize the change are often executed in a form of a project. There is no doubt that projects need to be managed in an appropriate way. In organizations where there are more than one project executed in parallel and other projects are being planned or proposed at the same time it is necessary to manage not only the individual projects but the entire portfolio of projects and programmes. Portfolio management is needed to ensure that the selected projects are best aligned with the defined goals and the strategy but this requires an analysis of a large amount of data about current and upcoming projects or about available resources and their utilization. It is not always easy to get all required data and to perform the analysis. This is the reason why deployment of some project and portfolio management software tool should be considered. This thesis deals with a search for suitable open source project and portfolio management tools and with assessment of costs and benefits of deployment of selected open source tool in a hypothetical IT company. The goal of this thesis is to define the term project and portfolio management tool and to find at least five open source tools of this type that are suitable for deployment in an organization. At least one of these tools should be suitable for deployment in the IT company. Another goal is comparison of features and functionality provided by the open source tools with functionality provided by the robust proprietary project and portfolio management solution deployed on premise and with one solution offered in the Software-as-a-Service model. Creation of a business case dealing with implementation of the selected open source tool is the last goal of this thesis. Identification and description of available open source tools and comparison of these tools with representatives of the robust project and portfolio management tools developed and distributed in models different from open source are considered the main benefits of this thesis. The terms "open source software" and "project and portfolio management tool" are defined in the first part of this work. The definition of terms is followed by the definition of the overall approach to the assessment of the open source tools which involves definition of assessment criteria and obligatory requirements. Next part of the work is dedicated to the selection of the open source tools that are suitable for deployment in an organization and which represent candidates for project and portfolio management tools. Assessment of these tools using the defined criteria is performed as the next step which is followed by the comparison with representatives of proprietary project and portfolio management tools. Last part of the work is dedicated to the business case which deals with deployment of the selected open source tool. This work concludes with discussion whether the defined goals were met or not, and with the summary of the results.
Evaluation of the software testing defined by the software development methodologies
Kučera, Jan ; Buchalcevová, Alena (advisor) ; Hostomský, Stanislav (referee)
Celková kvalita informačních systémů závisí na kvalitě softwarových produktů, které jsou jejich součástí. Kvalita softwaru je ovlivněna řadou faktorů, mezi které patří proces jejich vývoje. Cílem metodik vývoje IS/ICT je kvalitní produkt a tudíž i spokojený zákazník. Testování softwaru je proces, při kterém dochází k ověření, zda softwarový produkt odpovídá definovaným požadavkům. Tato práce se zabývá hodnocením a porovnáním procesů testování softwaru, které definují následující metodiky: Extrémní programování, Rational Unified Process a metodiky založené na Microsoft Solutions Framework. První část této práce se obecně zabývá pojmy kvality softwaru, testování softwaru a metodikám vývoje IS/ICT. Přístup k hodnocení metodik je popsán ve druhé části. Samotné hodnocení metodik a jeho výsledky jsou náplní třetí části práce. Protože užití nástrojů a automatizace je jedním z hodnotících kritérií, jsou zde stručně popsány také testovací nástroje určené pro hodnocené metodiky.
