| Sampling Factors: |
Location (Not Relevant: All work is performed in the same location, so location is not a relevant sampling factor.)
Customer (Not Relevant: All work is performed for the same customer, so customer is not a relevant sampling factor.)
Size: Hypothesis testing of performance parameters indicates that size is a relevant sampling factor.
Organizational Structure (Not Relevant: All work is performed by the same group of people, so organization structure is not a relevant sampling factor.)
Type of Work (Not Relevant: All work is performed product development, so type of work is not a relevant sampling factor.)
Complexity: Hypothesis testing of performance parameters indicates that complexity is a relevant sampling factor. |
| Sampling Factor Values: |
Small (Size): Projects with less than 150 KSLOC
Medium (Size): Projects with greater than 150 KSLOC
Medium (Complexity): Need to develop a new algorithm, use new technology, partly similar/exisiting application as reference
Low (Complexity): Good understanding of user requirements, uses mature technology, and/or a legacy system as reference |
