Software Process Improvement (SPI) methodology is defined as definitions of sequence of tasks, tools and techniques to be performed to plan and implement improvement activities. Well-known SPI frameworks like CMMI and ISO/IEC 15504 define SPI methodologies in an abstract manner. We developed an SPI methodology, BG-SPI. providing a ready-to-use SPI scheme with guidance on an iterative SPI lifecycle, composed of task definitions with details on resources, tools, roles, participation of groups, process assets, and other process specific supporting items. Utilizing BG-SPI with support of SPI experts. organizations can easily plan and manage SPI lifecycle. BG-SPI methodology is applied over 10 organizations with different size, sectors and SPI motivations. This paper explains BG-SPI and provide insight on how a detailed SPI methodology helps the SPI projects in various aspects.

An Automated defect detection approach for cosmic functional size measurement
Yılmaz, Gökçen; Demirörs, Onur; Department of Information Systems (2012)
Software size measurement provides a basis for software project management and plays an important role for its activities such as project management estimations, process benchmarking, and quality control. As size can be measured with functional size measurement (FSM) methods in the early phases of the software projects, functionality is one of the most frequently used metric. On the other hand, FSMs are being criticized by being subjective. The main aim of this thesis is increasing the accuracy of the measu...
An Error prevention model for cosmic functional size measurement method
Salmanoğlu, Murat; Demirörs, Onur; Department of Information Systems (2012)
Estimation and measurement of the size of software is crucial for project management activities. Functional size measurement is one of the most frequently used methods to measure size of software and COSMIC is one of the popular methods for functional size measurement. Although precise size measurement is critical, the results may differ because of the errors made in the measurement process. The erroneous measurement results cause lack of confidence for the methods as well as reliability problems for effort...
A software workforce assessment model
Tanrıöver, Ö. Özgür; Demirös, Onur; Department of Information Systems (2002)
This thesis develops a software practitioner assessment model based on practices and roles defined in SW-CMM (Software Capability Maturity Model) [Paulk 1995] and knowledge units defined in SWEBOK (Software Engineering Body of Knowledge) [Hillburn et al. 1999] to assess emergent software organizations. The aim behind this model is to provide a remedy for the main shortcomings of current software process assessment methods: fully assessing process and technology but not people. Assessment model development i...
A Software benchmarking methodology for effort estimation
Nabi, Mina; Demirörs, Onur; Department of Information Systems (2012)
Software project managers usually use benchmarking repositories to estimate effort, cost, and duration of the software development which will be used to appropriately plan, monitor and control the project activities. In addition, precision of benchmarking repositories is a critical factor in software effort estimation process which plays subsequently a critical role in the success of the software development project. In order to construct such a precise benchmarking data repository, it is important to have ...
A Functional software measurement approach bridging the gap between problem and solution domains
Ungan, Erdir; Demirörs, Onur; Department of Information Systems (2013)
There are various software size measurement methods that are used in various stages of a software project lifecycle. Although functional size measurement methods and lines of code measurements are widely practiced, none of these methods explicitly position themselves in problem or solution domain. This results in unreliable measurement results as abstraction levels of the measured artifacts vary greatly. Unreliable measurement results hinder usage of size data in effort estimation and benchmarking studies. ...
