Many organizations struggle to select the right software development standard due to lack of awareness and project complexity, leading to inefficiency. This paper outlines a method to evaluate client capacity, software standards, and project attributes for an optimized selection, ensuring better execution and cost savings.

Ensuring high-quality re-engineered software is vital for user satisfaction and system acceptance, but traditional reviews can be time-consuming. This research focuses on the abstraction phase, proposing a model that selects the best review technique based on robustness and flexibility. A case study of three legacy applications helps identify the most effective approach with trade-offs considered.

Extreme Programming (XP) offers fast development but limits documentation, placing heavy reliance on the customer. This paper introduces X-Use case, a lightweight documentation method and X-Actor role to enhance maintainability and reliability. By mandating X-Use case references in code, traceability improves. Experiments show XP can accelerate development while strengthening product reliability and maintainability.
