Using a web-based tool to define and implement software process improvement initiatives in a small industrial setting

Software process improvement has been the main target of many web application development organizations. Despite the importance of software process improvement, there is enough evidence that the majority of web-based software organizations are reluctant to adapt existing software process improvement models and standards as they perceive them as being oriented towards traditional software organizations. It has been observed that improvement efforts web-based software development organizations based on process improvement frameworks which are designed for traditional software organizations fail most of the time. This chapter attempts to make a review of different software process improvement models and check the suitability of these models to meet the special characteristics and requirements for the web-based projects. The findings of this study can be helpful for the web-based software development organizations in assessing and improving software processes.

Process improvement in web-based projects is of growing concern for many reasons including successful delivery of projects. Web application development companies are reluctant to adapt process improvement models and methods because of their complex structure and difficult implementation methods. It has been observed that improvement efforts in web application development companies based on process improvement frameworks which are designed for large organizations fail most of the time. This study attempts to evaluate the suitability of different software process improvement models to meet the special characteristics and requirements for the web-based projects.
