Performing process improvement to deliver qualified products with the expected cost on time has been a requirement for organizations targeting to be successful in the software market. Software organizations usually perform process improvement based on well-known process assessment frameworks such as CMMI and ISO/IEC 15504. A number of derivatives of CMMI and ISO/IEC 15504 have been developed and they are being updated. As a result of this, the software process assessment tool based on them needs to be updated. Process assessment requires judgment and there is an unavoidable manual work. However, there are also opportunities for assessment automation. Therefore, there is a need for a generic software process assessment tool to define process assessment models and facilitate assessment. The existing tools do not meet the expected features of a software process assessment tool completely, as they have generally been developed for single process assessment models. In this study, we present GSPA, a generic software process assessment tool, which has been developed to support all structured process assessment models with its generic framework, facilitate assessment, support parallel assessment and present the reports in a well-structured way to the assessors. A multiple case study has been conducted to measure the sufficiency and the contributions of the tool.

GSPA: a generic software process assessment tool Yürüm, Ozan Raşit; Demirörs, Onur; Department of Information Systems (2014) Performing process improvement to deliver the qualified products with expected cost on time has been a requirement for organization targeting to be successful in software market. Software organizations usually perform process improvement based on well-known process assessment frameworks such as CMMI and ISO 15504. As improvement needs diverge, a number of process assessment models such as Automotive SPICE, Enterprise SPICE, Brazilian Software Improvement, and Agile Maturity Model are derived. In addition, s...
Testing effectiveness and effort in software product lines Çöteli, Mert Burkay; Bilgen, Semih; Department of Electrical and Electronics Engineering (2013) Software product lines (SPL) aim to decrease the total software development cost by the help of reusability and variability. However, the increasing number of variations for the delivery types of products would result in increasing cost of the verification and validation process. Total testing cost of development can also be decreased by reusing test cases and scripts. The main objective of this study is to increase testing effectiveness while minimizing testing effort. Four different cases consisting of As...
Using soft systems methodology approach to improve technical solution sub-process of engineering process in a SME:a case study Özkan Yıldırım, Sevgi (null; 2018-10-27) Small and Medium-sized Enterprises (SMEs) from different business sectors, that are certified by some standardization organizations, are increasingly prioritizing the process improvement to raise their product’s quality. This paper proposes a qualitative research that will consider the question ‘how are the means of optimizing change in SME’s engineering process certified by CMMI, identified and modeled consistently, using Soft Systems Methodology (SSM)?’. The author analyzed problematic cases related with ...
The Tool Coverage of Software Process Improvement Frameworks for Small and Medium Sized Enterprises Yesildoruk, Filiz Celik; Bozlu, Banu; Demiroers, Onur (2009-06-17) Software Process Improvement (SPI) awareness is increasing among Small and Medium Sized Enterprises (SMEs). Conventional SPI frameworks are not appealing for SMEs since they are complex and costly. There are a number of frameworks, which address the problems of SMEs for SPI. This paper presents a comparative study of the most frequently referenced SPI frameworks established for SMEs from a SPI Tool coverage perspective.
An Action research of achievements in a software product line implementation Ergül, Muhittin Erdem; Bilgen, Semih; Department of Electrical and Electronics Engineering (2014) Software product lines emphasize, with an innovative approach, the idea of predictive re-use. In this way, significant improvements are provided in cost, time-to-market and quality and market dominance is enabled in the target area. The majority of the academic studies in this area are case studies. In this study it is also intended to provide scientific data to the literature about the achievements brought about by software product lines. First, the challenges in the software development activities perform...
