Self-Adaptability of Agile Software Processes: A Case Study on Post-iteration Workshops

Empirical results show that with less than 4% effort it is possible to hold post-iteration workshops that significantly help to improve and optimize practices and enhance the learning and satisfaction of the project team.

Extreme Programming: Reassessing the Requirements Management Process for an Offsite Customer

Results from a study of a mobile application development project where the Offsite Customer Process Model was empirically evaluated show that the model itself is context-dependent and it has to be adapted to the underlying development process.

Software Reuse and the Test Development Process: A Combined Approach

This paper suggests a test development process model that takes software reuse techniques and activities into account and shows further that in order to produce reusable test material, the software entities must be expressed in terms of features, in which the test materials are attached to.

Integrating agile software development and software process improvement: a longitudinal case study

An Empirical Evaluation of the Process Workshop Approach

The empirical results suggest that the process workshop approach may enhance the motivation of experienced developers who otherwise find traditional software process improvement activities less motivating.

The need for product design tools in shape memory technology

It was established that information and knowledge of shape memory alloys, SMAs, are either lacking or not available in a form that fulfills the needs of the non-specialist engineering designer.

Commitment to Software Process Improvement—Development of Diagnostic Tool to Facilitate Improvement1

Early results suggest that the behaviors introduced in the model are relevant in SPI initiatives, the use of model raises the awareness about the people issues in improving processes, and the model could be used aside with CMM, SPICE or other process improvement models.

Modelling Usability Capability - Introducing the Dimensions

This work proposes an enhanced model where the usability capability is analyzed from three dimensions: user- centered infrastructure, implementation of user-centered practices in development projects, and business management commitment to usability as a competitive asset.

The personal software process: experiences from Denmark

The findings indicate an improvement in effort estimation skills and an increase in the resulting product quality in terms of reduced total defect density and the use of the PSP method in the software industry is discussed.
