Agile methods are being used as a new way of developing software. They are basically used to fasten software development cycle by keeping an eye on its quality. Using Agile methods in any project along with quality assurance perspective is a crucial task. Many software developing organizations are using Agile methods now a days in their projects to reduce cost involved in a project. Agile methods are best suited for small projects as they require less resources and able to generate output in less time. However, days many organizations are also using Agile methods for medium and large scale projects. These projects also use large teams. Moreover, there may be teams having members taking part in these projects at geographically distributed locations. Assuring quality of these projects using Agile method is a challenging task as in Agile, testing is also carried out in each iteration along with software development. So the system has to be up and running every time for testing purpose. It means testing is only easy when organizations are working on small projects. As the size of the projects increases, the quality assurance of these projects also becomes a difficult task. The projects become complex as they require more resources and time, so there is always a burden on quality assurance team to deliver. The project may go for days and weeks without a functional build and thus testing cannot be done on regular basis. Secondly as the size of the project gets larger by adding more and more features in it, the number of tests is also increased to assure that the system is still performing what it is supposed to perform. The assurance of the quality of such projects is always a difficult task for any quality assurance team. Many Agile methods are being used by software developing organizations to build high quality software which involve less cost and time. Each Agile method has its own strengths and weaknesses. This research work is based on purposing a new hybrid Agile methodology DXPRUM. The DXPRUM is a combination of three of the agile models named as Dynamic System Development Method, Extreme Programming and Scrum (D comes from DSDM, XP from Extreme Programing, RUM from Scrum). The objective of the research is to purpose a new Agile methodology DXPRUM which combines the strengths of all the three Agile methods by removing their weaknesses. The main strength of DXPRUM will be the in time delivery of the project to customer with reduced cost.and the weaknesses to overcome will be to reduce resource utilization without affecting the output and to remove the overlapped resources. This research will consider a medium scale project with the implementation of a new Agile methodology DXPRUM under the perspective of quality assurance. The results of this research will also be compared with results of all three methods individually to validate the research.The metrics used for the evaluation will be total time in weeks, total number of modules build, total predicted hours, total line of code (LOC) and pre and post release defects etc.

شفیع الدین نیر
افسوس ہے انھی دنوں میں شفیع الدین نیر صاحب کا بھی۷۳برس کی عمر میں دہلی میں انتقال ہوگیا۔مرحوم اردو زبان کے بچوں کے نامور شاعراورادیب تھے، اس حیثیت سے انھوں نے نثراورنظم میں پچاسوں کتابیں لکھیں جو گھر گھر مقبول ہوئیں۔انھوں نے اپنی زندگی گورنمنٹ کے ماڈل اسکول میں اردو کے ٹیچر کی حیثیت سے شروع کی تھی۔ ڈاکٹر ذاکر حسین جن کو خود بچوں کے ادب سے دلچسپی تھی، اُن کو جب مرحوم کی صلاحیتوں کا علم ہواتوانھیں جامعہ ملیہ اسلامیہ لے آئے اورانھوں نے پوری زندگی یہیں بڑی وضع داری، شرافت اورمروت سے گزار دی۔تقسیم کے بعد اردو پر زوال آیا تومرحوم کی شہرت، مقبولیت اور ہر دلعزیزی بھی متاثر ہوئی جس کااُن کو طبعاً ملال تھا اوروہ اُس کااظہار بھی کرتے تھے۔ بہرحال اُن کی کتابیں بچوں کے ادب کی دنیا میں اُن کے بقائے دوام کی ضامن ہیں۔اخلاق وعادات کے اعتبار سے بڑے سنجیدہ ومتین لیکن دیندار اور خوش مزاج تھے۔اﷲ تعالیٰ مغفرت فرمائے۔ [مارچ۱۹۷۸ء]

 

THE EFFECT OF TECHNOLOGY RESOURCES ON COLLEGE SOPHOMORES' READING HABITS IN ILOCOS SUR POLYTECHNIC STATE COLLEGE PHILIPPINES

Imbibing reading habits is an essential skill necessary in the acquisition of knowledge, which is highly demanding in the life of every student in the academic environment. However, as modern technological resources keep on advancing, the reading habits of students are also changing with reading on screen. This study examined the reading habits of college sophomore students as affected by technological resources. The survey instruments, distributed to 254 college sophomore students at the Ilocos Sur Polytechnic State College, allowed the respondents to assess their reading habits in terms of reading hours, reading purposes, reading content, and reading attitude, with the technological resources as their tool. The data gathered in the study was analyzed statistically using the simple frequency count and percentage, mean, and Pearson correlation. The findings revealed that the college sophomores achieved an average level in their English subjects. In addition, it was found that the technology resources were moderately adequate to be used for reading among the college sophomores. Despite this, the results still showed that college sophomore students spent 2-3 hours a day reading, primarily in preparation for their exams. In addition, they read the available reading content moderately often, and they perceive a positive attitude towards the use of technological resources for reading. Furthermore, it was revealed that there is a significant relationship between reading habits and academic achievements. The study's findings will be used to improve instructional approaches and to launch e-reading initiatives in colleges.

Education Sector Reforms 2001 – 06 in Pakistan Causes & Consequences

Reforms in education in any state is a continuous and life long process. There can be no education policy permanent and everlasting because as a result of evolutionary process, human beings are subjected to changes and challenges. In order to meet these challenges, the nation needs to reform its education system. Pakistan since its inception has been endeavoring to formulate educational policies which could enable it to energize its socio economic & politico developments. Right from 1947 till 1998, Pakistan has formulated about 8 educational policies. All these policies however did not demonstrate fully how to translate the ideology of Pakistan into national moral profile & the education system of the country. Successive governments since its inception have been interpreting and architecting their own brand of education system without disturbing their socio cultural foundations. Hence education could not yield the required results in the form of achieving their set targets. The Education Sector Reforms (2001-06) is an attempt from another direction. It should be borne in mind that any development or change to be brought about in the education system of any country or state should be in accordance with the main ideals of that state and that it can not be isolated from evolution of education in its historical perspective. Keeping the above two factors in consideration, all the educational policies and plans since 1947 till the introduction of ESR 2001-06 have been critically examined. Owing to the fact that almost all the past educational policies of Pakistan since 1947 till 1998, could not achieve the set targets and that they could not improve the socio-economic, politico-ideological conditions of Pakistan, new reforms titled Education Sector Reforms 2001-06 were introduced under special directives of General Pervez Musharraf the President of Pakistan. vii However the validity & relevance of the recent Education Sector Reforms was being questioned and under debate at various intellectual, political, social and academic levels. Few are projecting it as a need of the time, prerequisite for economic growth & maintain link with the west where as other critiques on the secularization of education are calling it as a betray to national foundations, delink Islamic ideology, subjugation to the western culture & saying good bye to Islamic moral values & code of life. They argue that ESR instead of secularizing the education system & depriving our youth from their ideological identity should aim at addressing the irritants, which are source of decay for the last five decades. Keeping the two schools of thought in consideration, an indepth and unbiased analysis of the arguments of the opposing factions about the reformation process in the education sector of Pakistan was conducted under the title “Education Sector Reforms in Pakistan 2001-06 Causes & Consequences.” The study is descriptive in nature. It deals with the causes & consequences of the Education Sector Reforms 2001-06. Inorder to know the real motives of these reforms and their after effects on Pakistan & its people, the opinion of the educationists, implementers & the teachers and students of secondary & higher secondary schools was asked through questionnaires & interviews. The data received as a result of these tools was tabulated, analyzed and interpreted accordingly in the form of findings & conclusion. The research has advanced certain recommendations for bringing improvement in the system of secondary education in Pakistan mostly related to S.Ed the main focus need for political stability, consistency in policies, relevance of the policies to national goals, abstaining from secularization of education, introducing culture of accountability, encouraging public private partnership, accessibility to basic education without any discrimination, mainstreaming Madaris, improving the quality of curricula offering attractive package to teachers, providing physical facilities .etc. The research study was conducted by the writer. The main tools adopted to culminate this work into fruitful manner, were questionnaires and interviews. Three separate questionnaires for Educationists, Implementers and Teachers and Students of Secondary and higher Secondary Schools were prepared. Prominent educationists, implementers & stakeholders were interviewed to know their view point on either sides of the issue. The study concluded in the form of summary, findings, conclusions & recommendations recorded in Chapter 5 of the study.
