Developing a model of forecasting information systems performance
Abstract
Research aim: to develop a model to forecast the performance ofinformation systems as a mechanism for preliminary assessment of the information system effectiveness before the beginning of financing the information system project.Materials and methods: the starting material used the results of studying the parameters of the statistical structure of information system data processing defects. Methods of cluster analysis and regression analysis were applied.Results: in order to reduce financial risks, information systems customers try to make decisions on the basis of preliminary calculations on the effectiveness of future information systems. However, the assumptions on techno-economic justification of the project can only be obtained when the funding for design work is already open. Its evaluation can be done before starting the project development using a model of forecasting information system performance. The model is developed using regression analysis in the form of a multiple linear regression. The value of information system performance is the predicted variable in the regression equation. The values of data processing defects in the classes of accuracy, completeness and timeliness are the forecast variables. Measurement and evaluation of parameters of the statistical structure of defects were done through programmes of cluster analysis and regression analysis. The calculations for determining the actual and forecast values of the information system performance were conducted.Conclusion: in terms of implementing the model, a research of information systems was carried out, as well as the development of forecasting model of information system performance. The conducted experimental work showed the adequacy of the model. The model is implemented in the complex task of designing information systems in education and industry.
