The development of reliable systems is still a major challenge for software industry. Construction of such a system requires both process and product based quality assurance. Many process improvement models have been suggested in industry and found appropriate for achieving high quality products. Examples of such process improvement models are CMM/CMMI, Agile, SPICE, ISO 9000 family etc. Howeve...

Özet. Günümüz Savunma Sanayi yazılım projeleri uzun takvimlerde, uluslararası standartlara uygun ve kısıtlı kaynaklar kullanılarak gerçekleştirilmektedir. Genellikle Savunma Sanayi projeleri geliştirilirken kontratsal olarak Şelale modeli uygulanmasına karar verilmektedir. Ancak Şelale modeli izlemek, projenin son safhasında yapılan değişikliklerin pahalıya mal olması, risklerin zamanında öngör...

This paper evaluates proposed models for assessing Smart Grid interoperability and other models referenced as instructive for this effort. This paper suggests dividing the GWAC IMM into a Smart Grid Interoperability Maturity Model (SGIMM) and a Smart Grid Interoperability CAPABILITY Maturity Model (SGICMM). We propose a specific Smart Grid Interoperability Assessment model and rating system fra...

This study puts forward a generic and comprehensive costing framework for software projects that aims for simplicity. This is achieved by integrating commonly used CMMI (Capability Maturity Model Integration) and PMBOK (Project Management Body of Knowledge) costing concepts in a broader organizational context. The costing framework comprises three layers: costing targets, costing activities, an...

Der Artikel diskutiert die Frage „Was ist gute IT-Beratung?“ auf der Basis eines Klassifizierungsansatzes für IT -Beratungen. Dieser orientiert sich an den fünf Reifegraden, die das CMMI in seiner so genannten „Staged Representation“ definiert.

This work has the purpose of describing a software development process with the following characteristics: its scope lies within the requirements engineering activities; it fulfills CMMI requisites for Requirements Management and Requirements Development process areas (maturity level 2 and 3, respectively); it is based on RUP practices and activities where possible practices of agile methods ar...

There are two main aspects of quality assurance in computational systems development and maintenance projects: the process and product view. Several standard models have been proposed for a systematic process improvement, e.g., CMM/CMMI, Agile, SPICE, or the ISO 9000 family. However, even the best process can not guarantee that the resulting products are as expected. For a rigorous analysis of ...

quality models and standards guide Software Process Improvement Initiatives. Usually aiming to establish the best practices to instruct the definition of processes and support organizational assessment of the maturity and capability level. However, despite these initiatives, the best practices application in Brazilian public organizations is impaired by various obstacles regarding the process o...
