Title A Tool for Modeling Software Development Contexts in Small Software Organizations
Authors Daniel Ortega, Luis Silvestre, Cecilia Bastarrica, Sergio Ochoa
Publication date 2012
Abstract Characterizing the software development context has been
recognized as relevant for a variety of purposes, particularly for tailoring
the organizational software processes according to the features of each
project to be addressed. That tailoring activity makes the software
processes more efficient and effective. However, formally modeling software
development contexts, which is usually required to perform this tailoring
activity, represents a challenge for many organizations, and particularly
for small software companies, which usually have low expertise and resources
to deal with formal methods and notations. This paper presents a usable
software tool for defining the software development context for an
organization and also for particular projects. Preliminary evaluations of
the tool usability and usefulness have been performed. The obtained results
indicate that the tool provides all the services required to model
development context, and potential users found it easy to use.
