Building a High-Level Process Model for Soliciting Requirements on Software Tools to Support Software Development: Experience Report
نویسندگان
چکیده
Use of software tools to support business processes is both a possibility and necessity for both large and small enterprises of today. Given the variety of tools on the market, the question of how to choose the right tools for the process in question or analyze the suitability of the tools already employed arises. The paper presents an experience report of using a high-level business process model for analyzing software tools suitability at a large ICT organization that recently transitioned to scrum-based project methodology of software development. The paper gives overview of the modeling method used, describes the organizational context, presents a model built, and discusses preliminary findings based on the analysis of the model.

Tool Support for Design by Contract
Numerous experience reports indicate that prototyping is a serious and successful development strategy. We believe that it is not sufficient to provide graphical notations for object-oriented analysis, but that the notation of contracts in conjunction with prototyping, i.e., building executable models, is the proper technique for mastering complexity and gaining insights into a problem domain. ...
متن کاملA Model-Driven Decision Support System for Software Cost Estimation (Case Study: Projects in NASA60 Dataset)
Estimating the costs of software development is one of the most important activities in software project management. Inaccuracies in such estimates may cause irreparable loss. A low estimate of the cost of projects will result in failure on delivery on time and indicates the inefficiency of the software development team. On the other hand, high estimates of resources and costs for a project wil...
متن کاملModel Driven Development of Security Aspects
The development of security-critical large-scale distributed software systems is a difficult and error prone process. As we learnt from practical experiences, it is especially difficult to manually define security policies, for example for access control. A human security administrator is not able to cope with the high complexity of the interactions of the application and the low level, platfor...
متن کاملTesting Strategies for Model-Based Development
Model-based software development offers new opportunities and challenges for validation and verification of safety-critical software. Since models have well-defined syntax and semantics, it is possible to test models as well as source code and to define structural coverage metrics over models. Further, given a formal description of requirements, it is possible to use automated tools to check wh...
متن کاملMapping of McGraw Cycle to RUP Methodology for Secure Software Developing
Designing a secure software is one of the major phases in developing a robust software. The McGraw life cycle, as one of the well-known software security development approaches, implements different touch points as a collection of software security practices. Each touch point includes explicit instructions for applying security in terms of design, coding, measurement, and maintenance of softwar...
