A Dynamic Integrated Framework for Software Process Improvement
Description
Current software process models (CMM, SPICE, etc.) strongly recommend the application
of statistical control and measure guides to define, implement, and evaluate the effects of different
process improvements. However, whilst quantitative modeling has been widely used in other fields, it
has not been considered enough in the field of software process improvement. During the last decade
software process simulation has been used to address a wide diversity of management problems. Some
of these problems are related to strategic management, technology adoption, understanding, training
and learning, and risk management, among others. In this work a dynamic integrated framework for
software processimprovement ispres ented. Thisframework combinestraditional estimation models
with an intensive utilization of dynamic simulation models of the software process. The aim of this
framework is to support a qualitative and quantitative assessment for software process improvement and
decision making to achieve a higher software development process capability according to the Capability
Maturity Model. The conceptsunderlying thisframework have been implemented in a software process
improvement tool that has been used in a local software organization. The results obtained and the
lessons learned are also presented in this paper
