| Sampling Factors: |
Location (Not Relevant: Organization unit is operational from one location at Guangzhou, Guangdong Province, China PRC only and hence not considered to be relevant for sampling.)
Customer (Not Relevant: Organization unit serves Government customers in Guangdong Province, China PRC and hence not considered to be relevant for sampling. Customers do not have influence on the OU processes and hence not considered to be relevant for sampling.)
Size (Not Relevant: Size the basic units are classified as Small, Medium and Large. All basic units are Medium sized (Effort: > 4 and < 6=”” months=”” duration)=”” in=”” the=”” organizational=”” unit=”” and=”” hence=”” not=”” considered=”” to=”” be=”” relevant=”” for=””>
Organizational Structure (Not Relevant: Organizational structure across all the basic units in the organizational unit remains the same and hence not considered to be relevant for sampling.)
Type of Work: Software life cycle is either New Development or Maintenance and different for all basic units, but developed in the similar technology (Java) hence considered relevant for sampling.
Domain: Software domain is either Monitoring System or GPS and different for all basic units hence considered relevant for sampling. |
| Sampling Factor Values: |
Maintenance (Type of Work): Software maintenance projects of medium size.
Development (Type of Work): Software development projects of medium size
Monitoring System (Domain): Software projects in monitoring system domain.
GPS (Domain): Software projects in GPS domain. |
