Abstract

Developing reliable and high quality software on time and within budget requires a well-coordinated and executed software process. Many data have shown that investments in software process improvement can actually pay off. However, external market and customer demands create disturbances in the software process. Software process disturbances reduce the effectiveness of the software process improvement and increase the cost and time of the software development. Exemplary solutions to software process disturbances are early product characterization, confirmed customer expectation, calibrated product roadmap, and establishing process accountability.

Process-Based Software Engineering: Building the Infrastructures

A recent trend in software engineering is the shift from a focus on laboratory-oriented software engineering to a more industry-oriented view of software engineering processes. This complements preceding ideas about software engineering in terms of ...
Applying agent technology to software process modeling and process-centered software engineering environment
SAC '05: Proceedings of the 2005 ACM symposium on Applied computing

The software processes can be analyzed, designed, and maintained as if it is a piece of software. This view enables the application of software engineering technologies to software process modeling (SPM) and process-centered software engineering ...
