From the recent literature review, it is evident that existing agile methodology lacks the method to evaluate the requirement understanding of agile team members for a given set of requirement chosen for agile software development. Hence, there is a need to introduce a requirement understanding check to ensure every agile team member follows the given requirement clearly without any ambiguity. To fill this existing gap, this research paper proposes to extend the usage of story cards to evaluate the understanding of the given requirement and to highlight any challenges and risks in the early stage of requirement understanding under agile software development methodology, if any. This paper primarily focuses to introduce a robust requirement understanding evaluation process in agile methodology. The research results were found to be motivating and were analyzed by comparing the data-points using time-series for performing agile query analysis, agile team velocity analysis and agile team involvement analysis for two agile teams where one team delivered the sprint output using agile traditional method while another team opted for proposed approach. A considerable decrease of 33.07% was observed in the number of queried raised and a significant increase of 26.36% in agile velocity was observed for agile sprint under proposed approach when compared to agile traditional approach. Also, a significant shift from 40%-80% team involvement under traditional agile method was uplifted to 80%-90% team involvement under proposed approach.

Security solutions of stereo images are always a major concern during the transmission and communication. In this manuscript, a simple yet efficient framework for encrypting stereo images is formulated using discrete cosine transform (DCT), generalized logistic map, Schur decomposition and magic square method. The framework initiated with the integration of DCT and generalized logistic map to unify both pair of images. This unified image is then encrypted using the Schur decomposition and magic square method. The various experiments and analysis have been done to explore the validity, proficiency and performance of the purport framework.

In the academic context, social networking sites (SNSs) have reshaped the way university students connect and communicate with each other, and the way they learn, thus influencing their identities and dimensions. This paper aims to investigate the impacts of SNSs use by students on their academic performance at the University of Taiz. A survey questionnaire was conducted to a total sample of 357 undergraduate students via personal administration and by an online platform to gather the initial information on their use of SNSs and the influence on their academic performance. The hypotheses of this study were studied and tested using descriptive statistics, regression model, T-test, and analysis of variance (ANOVA). The findings of H1 indicate that the impact of the use of SNSs on students’ academic performance was statistically significant Interaction with the teacher (II) Collaboration with coworkers (CC) Engagement (EN) and learning a cooperating (LC). Meanwhile, the results of H2 indicate no significant differences between the mean averages of the respondents’ answers for (purposes, the impact of the use of SNSs, and academic performance) due to gender, and age, respectively. Thus, using SNS as a learning tool has a great potential to improve students’ academic performance because it allows students to be more connected. Overall findings of this study indicate that the use of SNSs impact undergraduate students by factors are studied on academic Performance to some extent and suggested future strategies to enhance students’ awareness to manage their time, multitasking skills, and study activities to enhance their academic performance and achievements.
