Petri-SW: A Petri Nets-Based Methodology for Performance Evaluation of Software Processes
Abstract
This paper presents a methodology based on Petri nets with main focus on performance evaluation of software processes. The methodology aims to support strategic decision making and facilitate the alignment of software development processes to business goals of Information Technology organizations and it is based on software process improvement approaches, such as IDEAL Model, Cycle of Improvement ISO/IEC 15504 and DMAIC.
Keywords:
Petri-SW, Petri Nets, Performance Evaluation
