How can Software Packages Certification Improve Software Process

Popular software assessment models such as CMM, BOOTSTRAP, SPICE or ISO 9000 ignore the impact of software product certification on software quality. The first standard for software product quality was German DIN 66285. Based on this standard, the ISO developed a international standard for quality requirements and testing procedures for software packages: ISO/IEC 12119. This paper presents our experience with classical testing models based on ISO/IEC 12119 and DIN 66285 and with our improved model, called the cooperative model of testing. With this model we can achieve improvements in testing of efficiency and software production process. Practical experience shows that the roles of all parties in the testing process have changed. Knowledge transfer between the testing laboratory and supplier depends on supplier\u27s maturity level

Management concepts transformation in Slovenia

In the last ten years Slovenia has been faced with a quite holistic transition of general social and organisation life. In our paper, first of all, we will emphasise the model of transition of management in Slovenia with presentation of field research results from our several years lasting research of management in Slovenia. The presented model of transition is based on the systems approach as our methodological version of systems thinking. This approach has been developed by our team since 1992 and it allowed research of way of thinking of managers about the transition of management concepts and effects of prevailed application projects, both at the same time and in interaction

U ovom se radu, prije svega, naglašava model tranzicije managementa u Sloveniji, i to prezentacijom rezultata trajnog empirijskog istraživanja provedenog u nekoliko posljednjih godina. Prezentirani model tranzicije se temelji na sistemskom pristupu, tj. na metodološkom sistemskom razmišljanju. Ovaj je pristup, razvijen 1992., omogućio istovremeno istraživanje načina razmišljanja managera o tranziciji koncepta managementa, kao i efekata prevladavajućih projekata njegove implementacije
