Abstract:
This paper presents a software tool called Spider-DAR, which is a desktop solution that operates in a client-server system and seeks to help the implementation of decision analysis and resolution process in adherence to CMMI-DEV (Capability Maturity Model Integration for Development) model. This involves the following: laying down the guidelines for decision analysis and the evaluation criteria, identifying alternative solutions, selecting evaluation methods, evaluating alternatives and selecting solutions. The software conforms to all the specific practices of the DAR (Decision Analysis and Resolution) process area included in CMMI-DEV. We expect that this tool will be readily adopted by software organizations because it is based on models and standards that are generally accepted. Furthermore, this tool adopts free (non-proprietary) technologies as a means of reducing costs. This tool was used in a software company that implemented its processes on the basis of CMMI-DEV Maturity Level 3, and the employees of this company evaluated its efficiency and effectiveness.
