Software EngineeringSoftware EconomicsThe NRC Institute for Information Technology’s (NRC-IIT) research in software economics addresses the application of economic criteria at all levels of decision-making in software development. The goal of the research is to study and enhance existing evaluation techniques and develop new ones to improve the effectiveness of decision-making processes in software development. The techniques are based on cost-benefit tradeoffs, and both standard and emerging models of value generation. Begun in 1999, NRC-IIT’s research in software engineering economics is ongoing. The field of software economics views software development as a value-generating activity. It addresses a wide spectrum of decisions, managerial as well as technical, covering all phases of software development. Using financial, statistical, and decision-theoretic approaches, software economics research at NRC-IIT focuses on:
NRC-IIT’s research also explores the strong connection between software economics and software quality; that is:
