Abstract:
In order to have a competitive software industry, it is essential to adopt standards and reference models of software processes quality. However, despite the growing adoption of standards and models, the number of organizations that adopt these is a small portion of the total population of software organizations. This paper presents a set of support tools to enactment of modeled processes in the Software Process Engineering Metamodel (SPEM). This set of support tools, called Spider-PE (Process Enactment), aims to assist software organizations in the implementation of the Capability Maturity Model Integration for Development (CMMI-DEV) and Reference Model of Software Process Improvement to Software (MR-MPS-SW) models. We expect Spider-PE to be more easily adopted by software organizations because it is based on models and standards largely accepted. Furthermore, this set of support tools adopts free technologies (non-proprietary) in order to reduce costs.
