....to develop and maintain a process definition. These may include eliciting information from developers to build a descriptive process definition from scratch, and to tailoring an existing standard or commercial process. Examples of methids that have been applied in practice are [13] 14] 90] 98][102]. In general, there is a strong similarity amongst them in that they tend to follow a traditional software development life cycle. 9.3.4.6 Automation Automated tools either support the execution of the process definitions, or they provide guidance to humans performing the defined processes. In ....

....Our method considers three aspects when developing a descriptive model: organization, product, and process. Dart et al. 1993) uses different groupings: tools, people, and process. In our method we consider people to be part of the organization, and tools are considered to be part of the process. (McGowan et al. 1993) presents a process assessment method that makes use of process modeling, but it lacks a clear focus for assessment. When analyzing the process, we chose to focus on defects generated during the system release generation process, because these would be defects that would be related to the ....

....system dynamics in modelling software project management issues. This approach and related modelling techniques originated in the seminal work of Forrester and his colleagues at M.I. T [for61,70] More recently it has been applied to the study of aspects of software process improvement, e.g. abd91,mcg93,wae94,mad96] The 1970s study, exemplified by figure 1, revealed regularity unexpected for variables the indirect consequences of human decision but not directly or intentionally controlled. It could and was, therefore, captured in a series of statements abstracting the observed behaviour. Such ....
