Presentation Transcript

  1. Modeling Framework and Supporting System for Process Assessment Documents Makoto Matsushita, Hajimu Iida, and Katsuro Inoue Osaka University, JAPAN

  2. Background • Software process improvement • for an effective software development • to reduce a cost of software development • Assessment Standards • ISO-9000 series • CMM, Bootstrap, etc PROFES99

  3. Assessment documents • These documents describe • how to evaluate an actual processes • a guide to improve processes • However, an assessment is not so easy activity to do • strictly evaluation needs lots of costs • documents are too large to understand PROFES99

  4. Our research objective • Easy to apply the fruits of software process assessment to lots of software development organization • self-assessment style evaluation • to give a hint of the improvement • A simple model for SPA documents • SPA supporting system PROFES99

  5. Modeling Approach • Elements • Task: an activity of software development • Level: an achievements of the activity • Product: a generated or provided materials • Relationships • Task-Product: input/output product • Task-Task: a series of tasks • Level-Task, Level-Product: achievements PROFES99

  6. Describe a model with SGML • Using SPA documents itself to describe our model • SPA documents and our model are shown as the same context • tasks/relationships are shown as SGML tags, ELEMENT/RELATIONSHIP • Other tags, such as the structure of documents are also defined PROFES99

  7. SPA supporting system • Using (old) SPICE • System Component • Document browser • Evaluation tool • databases • Features • search documents • calculate results, etc. PROFES99

  8. Document viewer PROFES99

  9. Evaluation supporting tool PROFES99

  10. Conclusion • A model of software process assessment documents • Describe a model with SGML • SPA tools for self-assessment PROFES99

  11. Further research topics • Applying the model to other SPAs • Evaluating system prototype PROFES99
