Capability Maturity Model Software Development using Cleanroom Software Engineering Principles - Results of an Industry Project

The Capability Maturity Model (CMM) for Software is a development framework that describes the key elements for an effective software process. Cleanroom software engineering (CSE) is a managerial and engineering process for the development of high quality software with certified reliability. The combination of CMM management and organizational capabilities and the judicious application of Cleanroom technical practices represents a powerful process improvement paradigm. Cleanroom principles are also compatible with the Systems Engineering Maturity model. This paper describes the results of a Cleanroom technology insertion effort into an industrial environment with a mature CMM process in place.
