The Rapid Assessment of Software Process Capability
نویسندگان
چکیده
There is a strategic need for a cost-effective method of conducting ISO/IEC 15504 conformant assessments of the capability of software development projects. This applies particularly in the case of SMEs for whom the cost of a full three to four day assessment may be prohibitive. The Rapid Assessment for Process Improvement for software Development (RAPID), has been developed to address this need. The RAPID method, which is intended for use by experienced ISO 15504 assessors is specifically for process improvement and is not suitable for supplier management. By limiting the scope of the assessment to eight key processes and limiting the collection of evidence to facilitated discussion between key organizational personnel and the assessors, a RAPID assessment can be conducted in one day.

متن کاملProcess improvement for small firms: An evaluation of the RAPID assessment-based method
With increasing interest by the software development community in software process improvement (SPI), it is vital that SPI programs are evaluated and the reports of lessons learned disseminated. This paper presents an evaluation of a program in which low-rigour, one-day SPI assessments were offered at no cost to 22 small Australian software development firms. The assessment model was based on I...
