| Activity: analyze and recommend | Code (in Figure 4): A6 |
| Objective: elaborate and communicate a conclusion report and (if necessary) a recommendation report for a decision-making process. |
|
| Description: identify and select procedures, techniques and tools to be used in order to analyze data, metadata, and information, coming from metrics and indicators, for a given information need. Based on the analysis results, a conclusion report is produced, and, a recommendations report, if necessary, is yielded as well. All these reports are communicated to the evaluation requester. |
|
 | Subactivities: |
| (i) Design the analysis (A6.1) |
| (ii) Implement the analysis (A6.2) |
| (iii) Elaborate the conclusion report (A6.3) |
| (iv) Perform recommendations (A6.4) |
| Involved roles: |
| (i) Analysis designer |
| (ii) Data analyzer |
| (iii) Recommender |
| (iv) Results communicator |
|
| Input artifacts: | Output Artifacts: |
| (i) Nonfunctional requirements specification | Conclusion/Recommendation report. |
| (ii) Metrics specification | Note that this artifact is composed of |
| (iii) Indicators specification | (i) Analysis specification; |
| (iv) Measures | (ii) Analysis report; |
| (v) Indicators values | (iii) Conclusion Report; and |
| (vi) Project/business commitment | (iv) Recommendations report. |
|
| Preconditions: a MEProject must be implemented. | Postconditions: the MEProject finishes when the conclusion and/or recommendation report is communicated and agreed on between the QA manager and the requester of the evaluation. |
