The economics of software process improvement
Computer, 1996Software process improvement is gaining momentum throughout the software industry. Many cities now have nonprofit SPIN (Software Process Improvement Network) groups. In a visible sign that process improvement is now a mainstream technology, SPIN's national conference in Boston last spring drew several thousand attendees.

An adventure in software process improvement
2005Software process improvement concepts, applied in an effort to increase productivity and quality in industry, are also needed in the academic environment. By teaching process improvement we can prepare students for the future and simultaneously improve our own understanding and teaching of the software engineering.

A Systems Perspective on Software Process Improvement
2002Software process improvement often lacks strong links to project management and control activities, which are concerned with identifying the need of process change and triggering improvement initiatives. Project management, on the other hand, often fails at selecting appropriate software engineering methods and technology that help to ensure project ...

Introduction to Software Process Improvement.
1993While software now pervades most facets of modern life, its historical problems have not been solved. This report explains why some of these problems have been so difficult for organizations to address and the actions required to address them. It describes the Software Engineering Institute's (SEI) software process maturity model, how this model can be

OO software process improvement with metrics
Proceedings Sixth International Software Metrics Symposium (Cat. No.PR00403), 2003Good software engineering requires a process and a means by which to measure both the success of this process and the quality of the product. Software engineering metrics are thus a vital component to all software development organizations aspiring to high quality.

Software process improvement uncut
ACM SIGSOFT Software Engineering Notes, 2006Publication in software engineering usually means materials are highly sanitized and readers, whether they be students, educators, or professional engineers, are not exposed often to the full underlying detail. To address this lack of exposure, an interview guide and the interview results on a software process improvement (SPI) project are presented ...

Commitment in software process improvement - in search of the process
Proceedings of the 35th Annual Hawaii International Conference on System Sciences, 2003Studies have shown that nearly two-thirds of all software process improvement (SPI) efforts have failed or at least fell short of expectations. Commitment has been argued to play an important role in determining the outcome of an SPI endeavor. This paper reports preliminary results from a study that attempts to explicate commitment process in SPI. Four

Software Process Improvement Defined.
2002This paper argues in favor of the development of explanatory theory on software process improvement. The last one or two decades commitment to prescriptive approaches in software process improvement theory may contribute to the emergence of a gulf dividing theorists and practitioners.

A Push for Software Process Improvement in Thailand
2009 16th Asia-Pacific Software Engineering Conference, 2009Capability Maturity Model Integration (CMMI) is considered by far the most comprehensive and well-known model for Software Process Improvement (SPI). The cost of having CMMI appraisal, including effort, time, and money is almost certainly out of reach for most very-small-sized, small-sized, and medium-sized software companies in Thailand.
