Integrating Elements of Multiple Models with a Process Capability Profile Metamodel
Abstract
SPI has been used successfully in software intensive organizations usually based on a single capability model or process capability maturity model, such as CMMI-DEV or MR MPS.BR. However, it has increased the need for utilization of multiple reference models for process improvement. The current solutions usually embrace the previous creation of a new model that integrates a set of specific models. This paper presents a Process Capability Profiles Metamodel that uses the concepts of MDE for dynamic integration of elements from reference models. It also presents the rationality, specification, strategy of implementation and an example of utilization of the metamodel.
