Schedule Management Using This Software Process Model

To provide better service to customers and remain competitive in the business environment, a wide variety of ready-to-use software and technologies are available for one to “grab and go” in order to build up software systems at a rapid pace. Currently, a wide variety of Web services are available and ready to use for this purpose. Current software process models also support commercial-off-the-shelf (COTS)-based development processes. However, although COTS and Web Services are similar, they are different in many perspectives. On one hand, there are various software process models that support Web services development. Yet there is no process model that supports the project that uses services provided by others. This chapter introduces the Incremental Commitment Spiral Model (ICSM), a new generation process model that provides development guidelines, from exploring a Web service alternative to deployment and maintenance with case studies.

With the wide spread of cloud computing technologies, we assume that increasing amount of attentions will be given to the area of software evolution processes in the context of cloud computing environments. Some major problems we are here facing now include: What kind of process a software evolution model under the circumstances of cloud computing must possess? What properties a software process must have as an attribute in order to effectively support the software evolution? How to modeling a process in the context of software evolution? While aiming to solve these mentioned problems, we focused our research on establishing a software evolution process model with independent functions as a component. In this article, the detailed discussion of our thoughts has been given and the in-depth analysis of our model is shown. Through a realistic case to which this model is applied, we concluded that our model provided the software evolution process with an effective support under the circumstances of cloud computing.
