Abstract:
Software and hardware development organizations that consider the adoption of new methods, techniques, or tools often face several challenges, namely to: guarantee process quality, reproducibility, and standard compliance. They need to compare existing solutions on the market, and they need to select technologies that are most appropriate for each process phase, taking into account the specific context requirements. Unfortunately, this kind of information is usually not easily accessible; it is incomplete, scattered, and hard to compare. Our goal is to present a case study on a classification schema we applied on the avionic domain to help decision makers to easily find, compare and combine existing methods, techniques, and tools based on previous experience. The results show that the schema helps to transfer knowledge between projects, guaranteeing quality, reproducibility, and standard compliance
