    Improvements to a complexity metric: CB measure
    (IEEE, 2015-12-18) De Silva, D. I; Kodagoda, N; Kodituwakku, S. R
    Controlling the complexity of software applications is an essential part of the software development process as it directly affects maintenance activities such as reusability, understandability, modifiability and testability. However, as stated by Tom DeMarco “You cannot control what you cannot measure”. Thus, over the years many complexity metrics have been proposed with the intention of controlling and minimizing the complexity associated with software. However, majority of these proposed complexity metrics are based on only one aspect of complexity. The CB measure introduced by Chhillar and Bhasin is one metric which relies on a number of complexity factors to decide on the complexity of a program. However, it also has some shortcomings and can be further improved. Thus, this paper attempts to propose some additional complexity factors that the CB measure has not considered, to further improve it. The paper also presents an extensive coverage about the software complexity metrics proposed in the literature.

    Improvements for agile manifesto and make agile applicable for undergraduate research projects
    (IEEE, 2013-04-26) Manamendra, M. A. S. C; Manathunga, K. N; Perera, K. H. D; Kodagoda, N
    The paper describes the use of Agile software development methodology for undergraduate research projects. The students are required to do a project which spans for two academic semesters. The main objective is to see the appropriateness of Scrum for the undergraduate projects which is a widely used agile method at present in the software industry. The paper discusses main agile principles in the student's viewpoint to check how those are affected to meet the learning outcomes of the module by means of meeting the deadlines and getting constructive feedback from supervisors. The circulated survey results are analyzed thoroughly and discussed to prove the arguments made during the research time and the recommendations are provided to improve appropriateness hence required changes for the agile principles. Finally it is positive feedback from the students about using Agile for undergraduate projects to achieve the targets given to them.
