Assessing Requirements Process Strengths and Weaknesses: A first step to prioritising requirements process implementation
(University of Hertfordshire, 2003)
A secondary analyses of Bradac et al. s prototype process-monitoring experiment
(University of Hertfordshire, 2003)
We report on the secondary analyses of some conjectures and empirical evidence presented in Bradac et al. s prototype process-monitoring experiment, published previously in IEEE Transactions on Software Engineering. We ...
Waiting in software projects: an exploratory study
(University of Hertfordshire, 2003)
In preparation for a larger investigation, Bradac, Perry and Votta conducted a time diary study of how a developer spent their time over a 30-month period. They conducted their study to better understand, and ultimately ...
Understanding the impact of industrial context on software engineering research: some initial insights
(University of Hertfordshire, 2003)
Contextual variables appear to strongly impact the results of software engineering research. But little attention has been directed at better understanding this apparent impact. This report reviews the small body of research ...
Building a requirements process improvement model
(University of Hertfordshire, 2003)
This technical report gives a step-by-step guide to developing a requirements process improvement model. The model is goal driven, and practitioners are directed towards key processes that define and prioritise requirements ...
Persuading developers to buy into software process improvement: a local opinion and empirical evidence
(Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE), 2003)
In order to investigate practitioners’ opinions of software process and software process improvement, we have collected a large volume of qualitative evidence from 13 companies. At the same time, other researchers have ...
Software process improvement problems in twelve software companies: An empirical analysis
(2003)
In this paper we discuss our study of the problems 12 software companies experienced in software development. In total we present qualitative data collected from 45 focus groups that involved over 200 software staff. We ...
A quantitative and qualitative analysis of factors affecting software process improvement
(2003)
Despite the growing body of research on software process improvement (SPI), there is still a great deal of variability in the success of SPI programmes. In this paper, we explore 26 factors that potentially affect SPI. We ...
