Automating the software development process

IBM Systems Journal, 1985
Demand for reliable software systems is stressing software production capability, and automation is seen as a practical approach to increasing productivity and quality. Discussed in this paper are an approach and an architecture for automating the software development process.

Software development as a workflow process

Proceedings of Joint 4th International Computer Science Conference and 4th Asia Pacific Software Engineering Conference, 2002
It is a general consensus that automated support for software development is essential to harness the ever increasing complexity of today's software. Many software development models, tools, and environments have been introduced to address such a need; however they are usually methodology-specific and impose a rather authoritarian policy on the way ...

Software development processes — an assessment

Information and Software Technology, 2002
The development and maintenance of software systems has become a major challenge. Many best practices have emerged and processes have been developed which conform to such practices. This paper reviews these approaches and provides a basis for the assessment of three processes used for the development of systems.

Software development: Processes and performance

IBM Systems Journal, 1998
This paper presents data that describe the effects on software development performance due to both the production methods of software development and the social processes of how software developers work together. Data from 40 software development teams at one site that produces commercial software are used to assess the effects of production methods ...

A process for developing safe software

Proceedings of IEEE Symposium on Computer-Based Medical Systems (CBMS), 2002
There are many software development processes defined in the literature that address the particular needs for the type of software being developed. However, for software in safety-critical systems, most of the existing processes do not address safe software development and delivery. We propose a software development process for developing safe software,

Automating the software development process

Proceedings of the 1988 ACM sixteenth annual conference on Computer science - CSC '88, 1988
Much of the software development process is repetitive, tedious to perform, but possible to automate. Our SAGA Project research includes building models of software development tasks that accurately reflect the processes involved and have direct and efficient implementations.

Enacting a software development process

Proceedings. Third IEEE International Conference on Engineering of Complex Computer Systems (Cat. No.97TB100168), 2002
A good process management system helps the project members develop software projects. This paper introduces a Software Process Engineering Environment, SPEE. In SPEE, the process designer designs the process definition and project plan in a Process LANguage, PLAN, under a Process Definition Editor, PDE.

Optimizing software development processes

Proceedings of the 4th International Workshop on Conducting Empirical Studies in Industry, 2016
It would appear that developing software programs or services is one of the easiest things in the world to do. The theorist would have us believe that all practitioners need to do is to write the code in specific software language (e.g. functional language) and follow specific processes (e.g. agile) and ideally deploy as a continuously evolving service

A model of the software development process

Journal of Systems and Software, 1981
This paper presents a model of the programming process. The model has four parts. A resources model specifies how many useful man-months of design effort are available from project team members after subtracting the time required for learning and team communications.

The development of process control software

Proceedings of the November 16-18, 1971, fall joint computer conference on - AFIPS '71 (Fall), 1971
The use of on-line, real-time computers for control of industrial processes has been increasing rapidly during the past ten years. That the cost of the software necessary to implement such systems exceeds even the hardware costs became clear in the initial installations.
