| Sampling Factors: |
Location (Not Relevant: OU operates from one location (Bangalore). Hence this is considered as not relevant)
Customer (Not Relevant: The systems are for similar domain (electronics). Software life cycle does not depend on customer. Hence this is considered as not relevant.)
Size (Not Relevant: The life cycle steps are same regardless of size. There is no differences in project execution with respect to size of the project. Hence this is considered as not relevant.)
Organizational Structure (Not Relevant: Only one division (BSTC) in the OU. Hence this is considered as not relevant)
Type of Work: BSTC executes different type of projects. The life-cycle activities are different based on the work type – Development and Support projects
Technology: BSTC executes different type of projects. The life-cycle activities are different based on different technology – Real time and non-realtime. The performance of these systems are likely to be different. Hence this is considered as sampling factor. |
| Sampling Factor Values: |
Development (Type of Work): Development projects following all stages of development life cycle.
Support (Type of Work): Projects enhancing and maintaining the systems that are already delivered.
NRTOS (Technology): Projects using non-RTOS (non-Real Time Operating System) platform.
RTEmbed (Technology): Projects using Real-Time Embedded System platform. |
