An Information System Audit Model for Project Quality Improvement by the Agile Methodology

Abstract

Software development has been applied with various automatized tools and techniques to increase the productivity in order to supply the requested products on time with the highest quality to customers. As a result, numerous software development methodologies have been tried continuously during the practical work. As a consequence of this effort, an agile methodology has recently been utilized in many projects in order to promptly deal with changing demands of customers. In the case of South Korea, project-applicable methodologies have been established and applied to different fields, and this tends to expand further. Information system audit evaluated product suitability throughout the whole development process including the previous step and contributed greatly to the quality enhancement. However, there are several differences between recently growing agile project and the previous one, such as management methods, construction phases, and key products. As a result, information system audit should understand the character of agile and review the comprehensive development process. This paper proposes an audit model that is suitable to the agile project by comparative analysis between the current audit model and agile methodology. Agile methodology audit model will be advantageous to the Agile applied project audit. The model should be verified and supplemented by applying to the practice, and various Agile practical items should be applied continuously and studied further.
