PCU | PSP: A Strategy to adjust Points by Use Cases through PSP in Small Businesses
Abstract
This paper presents a strategy that allows the adjustment of the Use Case Points technique, so that it reflects the effective characteristics of the development team in a way in which the planning of the system to be developed can be more realistic. This adjustment is resulted from the practical application of the PSPTM (Personal Software Process) technique and from the constant evaluation of such application, together with the updating and control of the elaborated development plan. This strategy was extracted from the systematic application of these two techniques used jointly in a small business company, and the obtained results give indications of its contribution for the improvement of the software development process quality, mainly in respect to the planning and control activities.
Keywords:
PCU | PSP Strategy, Points for Use Cases, PSP Technique
