An Approach to Defining Processes Based on Reuse Aiming at High Maturity in Processes
Abstract
This work presents a reuse-based approach to define software processes, which also considers requirements from the higher maturity context. Techniques usually applied on software product development are adapted to software processes definition. Furthermore, information on subprocesses stability, performance and capacity are used throughout process definition. The proposed approach also comprises different strategies to define processes for and with reuse and a set of supporting tools. To assess the viability of the approach, experimental evaluations were performed and their results indicate that the use of the proposed approach is possible and provide benefits to processes definition.
Keywords:
Definition of Processes, Reuse, High Maturity in Processes
