Abs bstrac act • Using SEMAT Essence, developers can track the progress and health of a project. • OCMS(Online Checklist Management System) is a tool to trace the progress of a project based on SEMAT Essence. • We evaluate the OCMS in the experiments of student software development project.

When we use SEMAT Essence in a software project, a useful single tool does not exist.
Propos oposal al We set five requirements • OCMS should be applicable to diverse environments. • The results of SEMAT Essence should be shared rapidly. • Alphas and states should be customizable. • Each project should save its own SEMAT Essence results. • OCMS should be extendable with other checklists.

Evaluat ation on a and nd E Exper periment • RQ1: Does OCMS effectively improve a development? • RQ2: Does OCMS suggested make SEMAT Essence easier to use? Experiment has four steps: Experiment Target 1. Introduce SEMAT Essence, OCMS and experiment ET Robot contest Team 2. Answer the Before Questionnaire(BQ) Four students • 3. Save the status of project by using Develop software systems • OCMS each week for a month 4. Answer the After Questionnaire(AQ)
Qu Questionna onnaire • BQ1~6 asked their current status of the project for each area of concern • AQ1~6 asked the effectiveness of the improvement (compared with BQ1~6) • AQ7 and 8 asked the feeling of use of OCMS • Each questionnaire is answered on a four-point scale.
Re Resul ults • RQ1: Does OCMS effectively improve a development? Student thought their project was improved(BQ1~6,AQ1~6) • RQ2: Does OCMS suggested make SEMAT Essence easier to use? OCMS made it easier to use SEMAT Essence(AQ7,8) 100% 90% 80% 70% 60% 50% 40% 30% 20% 10% 0% BQ1 BQ2 BQ3 BQ4 BQ5 BQ6 AQ1 AQ2 AQ3 AQ4 AQ5 AQ6 AQ7 AQ8 Strongly agree Agree agree a little Strongly disagree
Co Conclusi usion a on and d Fut Futur ure W Work • Conclusion SEMAT Essence can track the progress of project We developed a tool called OCMS to make SEMAT Essence more useful The experiment reveals that OCMS have some effective for software development. • Future Work OCMS should be implemented other functions to be more user-friendly OCMS also should collaborate other methods
