Software process improvement implies a set of complex and systematic activities software engineering. It requires theory models established in management, technical social sciences. The is based on the assumption that organization if it owns mature capable processes, would be able to deliver quality time line with predicted costs. maturity are initially aimed for implementation enterprise organ...

One of the main problems with software engineering is due to the difficulties in evaluating and improving our software processes, especially in the light of the fact that reuse depends on a process which supports it. Generally used approaches to the evaluation and improvement of software processes are based on CMM, for example. In this paper we present a technique to improve software processes ...

background: business process management systems (bpm) can automate all processes in an organization. these systems provide the possibility of identifying, modeling, deploying, implementing, function managing, integrating with other information systems, monitoring and improving an organization's business processes in a standard form. as far as the authors know, no related research has been ...

Our research activities are focused on formal specification based product and process quality improvement of a software system. We start with a formal specification based pragmatic view on software specification, software refinement, software enhancement and software testing. These features are further explored for the improvement of product and process quality. On the basis of these features w...

In this paper we relate classical software process models to new agile development processes and software process improvement. We argue that there is no single process model that always fits and that organizations have to re-use the best out of classical and agile processes. Furthermore we question “classical” software process improvement because it is often done isolated from people and techno...

In this article we discuss four different perspectives on software process improvement, which are all based on quite different assumptions. The objective is to expand the views on software process improvement and contribute to a wider understanding of software process improvement. This might facilitate the application of software process improvement and assist in further spreading the approach....
