| Popis: | The software industry is compelled to adapt with agile methodologies for their inherent software quality. This requires transition from traditional software engineering methods for an extended competitiveness which is successfully demonstrated in private sector; however, its potential benefits in the public sector are still unknown. In this paper, we assess employability of agile methods to improve software quality in large public sector software development companies. The choice of public sector is made due to its key role in sustainable e-Governance models to ensure uninterrupted services to the citizens. A survey of 28 questions, on software quality components (budget, time, faster debugging and correctness, changeability, easy testability and installability), is collected from the IT professionals of nine software development companies at WAPDA (water and power development authority), the largest public sector organization in Pakistan. The results conclude that these factors have more strong and positive relation to the software quality in agile development than traditional methods in public sector when the software product is to be developed, delivered, deployed and sustainably maintained in short span of time due to its inherent capability of easy debugging, testability and installability. |
