Software Process Improvement (SPI) is the modification of current software process methods in many software development organizations. It is the key of the continuous process improvement. In this paper, we introduce Software Process Improvement (SPI) and Quality Function Deployment (QFD); the SPI framework based on CMMI contains two portions: 1) SPI framework for CMMI staged model based on QFD ...

This paper is aimed at ident ify ing the potent ial role of SPI CE, especially SPI CE level 3, to achieving the proposed UK public sector efficiencies. SPI CE level 3 presents the process m aturity fram ework to address the level I I I of the SPICE model. Building upon the developments of level I I , SPI CE 3 advocates establishment of a process improvement infrast ructure to facilitate good pr...

STUDY OBJECTIVES To assess the accuracy of a wrist-worn device (Watch_PAT 100) to diagnose obstructive sleep apnea in the home. DESIGN Participants completed 2 overnight diagnostic studies with the test device: 1 night in the laboratory with concurrent polysomnography and 1 night in the home with only the Watch_PAT. The order of the laboratory and home study nights was random. The frequency o...

The primary objective of a prospective study conducted over the July 1976-August 1977 period, as part of the joint project of the University of North Sumatra, Medan and the University of Amsterdam, was to determine the duration of prevention against hypovitaminosis A by 1 oral dose of 300,000 IU vitamin A. At 3-month intervals children were examined critically, fresh stool specimens were analy...

Software development organizations are focusing on improving the process of software development so that the resultant software is of high quality and the development cost is low from the viewpoint of the competitive advantage. Software process improvement (SPI) is a methodical and continuous improvement approach for the software development processes to develop quality software. SPI establishe...

Working with software process improvement (SPI), using measurements and statistical methods, can easily be a challenge for SPI people. Workers dislike having their processes monitored and managers dislike being informed of their processes being less than perfect. The power needed by SPI people for carrying out their work may thus be challenged, and one way of facing up to this might be to argue...

Software Process Improvement (SPI) is a recognised systematic approach for improving the capability of software organisations. Such initiatives have met with a number of difficulties such as: scaling the SPI initiatives, setting realistic goals, the complexity of organisational changes, and the organisational culture. For organisations with no earlier experience with SPI, the first initiative m...

Software organisations have for many years struggled to mature engineering practices using a variety of approaches. Over the last decade a new approach, known as software process improvement (SPI), has emerged and become widely used in the software industry. In this paper we position SPI in the landscape of initiatives that can be used in software organisations to mature their operations. A map...

Climate change is one of the main challenges facing agricultural sector as it strives to meet global food needs. In arid and semiarid areas, scarcity water imposes use alternative sources - such reclaimed (RW) or desalinated (DW) deficit irrigation strategies, regulated (RDI), in order maintain productivity. The impact both RDI strategies on soil microbial communities conjunction with crop resp...
