For over a decade, software process improvement (SPI) has been
promoted as an approach to improve systematically the way software
is developed and managed. Mostly this research and the relevant
experience reports have been focussed on large software
companies.
Conradi and his co-authors have collected the main results from
four Norwegian industrial research and development projects on SPI
carried out between 1996 and 2005, which, in contrast to other
treatments, concentrated on small- and medium-sized companies,
typically characterized by fast-changing environments and
processes. The presentation is organized in five sections: general
principles and methods of SPI, knowledge management for SPI,
process modelling and electronic process guides, estimation
methods, and object-oriented and component-based systems. A
spectrum of empirical methods has been used, e.g. case studies,
large-scale experiments, surveys and interviews, and action
research.
The book mainly targets researchers and graduate students in
(empirical) software engineering, and software professionals
working in development or quality assurance.
