Abstract

Software process assessments are now recognized as important quality improvement activities in the software industry. However, most assessment applications are generally regarded as infrequent, expensive and disruptive for the workplace. Hence, it is advantageous to find alternative ways to the current status of software processes and monitor the implementation of improvement activities. In this paper, we focus on continuous process assessment and capability monitoring. A web-based prototype system is developed to perform a practical study on continuous software process assessment in one process area: project management. The study results show that features such as global management, well-defined responsibility and visualization may help improve the efficiency and continuity of software process management.
