Systematic Literature Review of Software Process Capability/Maturity Models
نویسندگان
چکیده
Software process improvement and assessment guided by a maturity level or a process capability profile based on a capability/maturity model is now well established in practice as a successful means for improving software intensive organizations. Therefore, a wide range of software process capability/maturity models have been developed evolved and adapted over the past years. In this paper, we present the results of a systematic literature review on this type of models. Our results show that there exist a large variety of models with a trend to the specialization of those models for specific domains. We also identified that most of those models are concentrated around the CMM/CMMI framework and the standard ISO/IEC 15504 (SPICE).
