In this direction, we have developed a holistic quality evaluation and improvement approach whose architecture is based on two pillars, namely: a quality multi-view modeling framework, and ME/MEC integrated strategies. In order to bolster the former pillar, in this work we specify an ontology for quality views. Quality views and their ‘influences' and ‘depends on' relationships between them, are paramount for defining and selecting evaluation and improvement strategy patterns to be used in ME/MEC projects. A strategy pattern is a reusable solution to recurrent problems in MEC projects. For a specific project goal, the selected strategy pattern allows one to instantiate a concrete strategy, which embraces a set of tailored activities and methods for measurement, evaluation, analysis and change. In this paper, we also discuss a set of strategy patterns and document a concrete strategy pattern applied in one case study, which is aimed at understanding and improving Usability of a social network.

The approach uses parameters required by the models from metrics commonly found associated with a software development project. Methods are proposed to extract and apply organizational baselines. The proposed framework is validated using simulation techniques based on the Monte Carlo method, allowing for the assessment of the likely distribution of the results and the sensitivity with the parameters used. Preliminary conclusions are extracted and future lines of work identified.

Our proposal is a process to capture, maintain and analyze existing discussion threads from technical forums. This process can be used to recommend a series of possible solutions in fewer attempts than using traditional multi-purpose Web search engines. This paper presents two case studies that focused on real technical discussion forum threads about problems using the Java programming language. Also, some strategies to classify and relate discussion threads to their corresponding Java document classes are proposed.
