The Cost

Presently, the majority of software development, including outsourcing, is carried out by small and medium size software development organizations all over the world. These organizations are not capable to bear the cost of implementing available software process improvement models like CMMI, SPICE, ISO, and so forth. Therefore, there is a need to address this problem. In this chapter, various software process assessment and software process improvement models for small and medium scale organizations are discussed and compared. This will lead towards development of standardized software process improvement model for small and medium sized software development organizations in the future.

Bootstrap Methodology

The BOOTSTRAP approach to software process assessment and improvement offers a methodology which can be suitably used with different types of the software process and products, and with different software producing organization structures and sizes. The approach is supported by cumulative data about the software industry as a whole as well as its individual sectors. At the same time BOOTSTRAP is based on the ISO 9000 series quality standards and appropriately general software project management standards (ESA-PSS-05), as well as is related to such defacto maturity standards as SEI's CMM. More granularity in expressing capability (in terms of scale and multidimensionality) makes BOOTSTRAP particularly suitable for process improvement. While having established position in Europe and participating in such wider standardization efforts as ISO/SPICE, it is important for BOOTSTRAP to look for comparisons of assumptions and results elsewhere. This paper presents the BOOTSTRAP methodology and and in conclusions brings forward some topics that may constitute a cultural interface orspecific boundary conditions between different software process assessment and improvement approaches.

Software Crisis

Software process assessments have become commonplace in the software industry because the software industry usually does not recognize the level of their software process. From the time software is developed, a phenomenon called software crisis exists subsuming wrong schedules and cost estimates, low productivity of people, as well as low productivity. A promising approach out of this crisis is now growing up in the software engineering community. One of the approaches is Software Process Assessment. We present our experience in implementing internal software process assessment at one of the mid-size Information Technology (IT) company by using the customized SPA method. The customized model is basically based on Standard CMMI Appraisal Method for Process Improvement (SCAMPI).
