An Approach to Evaluating Software Process Adaptation
نویسندگان
چکیده
Process maturity reference frameworks such as ISO/IEC 15504 and the Capability Maturity Model Integrated (CMMI) seek to assist software process improvement (SPI) efforts by prescribing a roadmap for improving the capability of the development process. However, such frameworks are not widely adopted in the practice [1], [2], especially in smaller software development organisations where the development process is often modified based on business events [3]. Such modification of the development process represents an attempt to harmonise the process with the changing needs of the business, which is a dynamic capability. Dynamic capabilities refer to the ability of businesses to adapt to changing circumstances and according to the evolutionary theory of the firm [4], organisations that possess greater dynamic capability are more successful. This paper introduces dynamic SPI capability the ability to adapt the software process relative to changing situational circumstances – as a method for evaluating software process adaptation.

A Cognitive Neurodynamic Approach to Prediction of Students’ Adaptation to College: An Ex-Post Facto Study
Introduction: Campus life tends to make social and academic demands on college students. To cope with these demands, students are required to use their neurocognitive skills of problem- solving and planning intentional actions that target towards adaptation to college. This paper presents an illuminating perspective that would inform understanding of a new approach to cognitive neuroscience. Th...
متن کاملPreventing Key Performance Indicators Violations Based on Proactive Runtime Adaptation in Service Oriented Environment
Key Performance Indicator (KPI) is a type of performance measurement that evaluates the success of an organization or a partial activity in which it engages. If during the running process instance the monitoring results show that the KPIs do not reach their target values, then the influential factors should be identified, and the appropriate adaptation strategies should be performed to prevent ...

متن کاملEvaluating Mission-Critical Self-Adaptive Software Systems: A Testing-Based Approach
Self-adaptive software is a closed-loop system that tries to manage, direct, or regulate its own behavior dynamically. Such a system aims at providing an automated and systematic approach to handling the increasing complexity of operation management. Mission-critical systems (e.g., e-business and telecommunication systems) are usually large, complex, and distributed. These systems must preserve...
