Comprehensive Landscapes for Software-related Quality Models
Michael Kläs, Jens Heidrich, Jürgen Münch +1
Managing quality (such as service availability or process adherence) during the development, operation, and maintenance of software(-intensive) systems and services is a challengin…
Goal-oriented Data Visualization with Software Project Control Centers
Jens Heidrich, Jürgen Münch
Many software development organizations still lack support for obtaining intellectual control over their software development processes and for determining the performance of their…
A Systematic Methodology for Developing Discrete Event Simulation Models of Software Development Processes
Ioana Rus, Holger Neu, Jürgen Münch
So far there have been several efforts for developing software process simulators. However, the approaches for developing the simulators seem to have been ad-hoc and no systematic…
Using Cluster Curves to Control Software Development Projects
Jürgen Münch, Jens Heidrich
Online interpretation and visualization of project data are gaining increasing importance on the long road towards predictable and controllable software project execution. This pap…
Observation-based Development of Software Process Baselines: An Experience Report
Fabio Bella, Jürgen Münch, Alexis Ocampo
The creation and deployment of software development processes for new domains (such as wireless Internet services) is a challenging task due to the lack of knowledge about adequate…
Baselining Wireless Internet Service Development: An Experience Report
Fabio Bella, Jürgen Münch, Alexis Ocampo
New, emerging domains such as the engineering of wireless Internet services are characterized by a lack of experience based on quantitative data. Systematic tracking and observatio…
Simulation-Based Risk Reduction for Planning Inspections
Holger Neu, Thomas Hanne, Jürgen Münch +2
Organizations that develop software have recognized that software process models are particularly useful for maintaining a high standard of quality. In the last decade, simulations…
Empirically Driven Design of Software Development Processes for Wireless Internet Services
Ulrike Becker-Kornstaedt, Daniela Boggio, Jürgen Münch +2
The development of software for wireless services on the Internet is a challenging task due to the extreme time-to-market pressure, the newness of the application domain, and the q…
Guided Support for Collaborative Modeling, Enactment and Simulation of Software Development Processes
Alejandro Fernández, Badie Garzaldeen, Ines Grützner +1
Recently, the awareness of the importance of distributed software development has been growing in the software engineering community. Economic constraints, more and more outsourcin…
Context-driven Software Project Estimation
Jürgen Münch, Jens Heidrich
Using quantitative data from past projects for software project estimation requires context knowledge that characterizes its origin and indicates its applicability for future use.…
Supporting Process Maturation with the Enhanced CoBRA Method
Adam Trendowicz, Jens Heidrich, Jürgen Münch
Cost estimation is a very crucial field for software developing companies. In the context of learning organizations, estimation applicability and accuracy are not the only acceptan…
Focusing Testing by Using Inspection and Product Metrics
Frank Elberzhager, Stephan Kremer, Jürgen Münch +1
A well-known approach for identifying defect-prone parts of software in order to focus testing is to use different kinds of product metrics such as size or complexity. Although thi…
Systematic Task Allocation Evaluation in Distributed Software Development
Jürgen Münch, Ansgar Lamersdorf
Systematic task allocation to different development sites in global software de- velopment projects can open business and engineering perspectives and help to reduce risks and prob…
GQM+Strategies: A Comprehensive Methodology for Aligning Business Strategies with Software Measurement
Victor Basili, Jens Heidrich, Mikael Lindvall +5
In software-intensive organizations, an organizational management system will not guarantee organizational success unless the business strategy can be translated into a set of oper…
Scoping Software Process Models - Initial Concepts and Experience from Defining Space Standards
Ove Armbrust, Masafumi Katahira, Yuko Miyamoto +3
Defining process standards by integrating, harmonizing, and standardizing heterogeneous and often implicit processes is an important task, especially for large development organiza…
Acquisition of a Project-Specific Process
Olga Jaufman, Jürgen Münch
Currently, proposed development processes are often considered too generic for operational use. This often leads to a misunderstanding of the project-specific processes and its ref…
State of the Practice in Software Effort Estimation: A Survey and Literature Review
Adam Trendowicz, Jürgen Münch, Ross Jeffery
Effort estimation is a key factor for software project success, defined as delivering software of agreed quality and functionality within schedule and budget. Traditionally, effort…

Managing software development productivity and effort are key issues in software organizations. Identifying the most relevant factors influencing project performance is essential f…
Goal-Oriented Setup and Usage of Custom-Tailored Software Cockpits
Jens Heidrich, Jürgen Münch
Software Cockpits, also known as Software Project Control Centers, support the management and controlling of software and system development projects and provide means for quantita…
Process Model Difference Analysis for Supporting Process Evolution
Martín Soto, Jürgen Münch
Software development processes are subject to variations in time and space, variations that can originate from learning effects, differences in application domains, or a number of…
Maintaining a Large Process Model Aligned with a Process Standard: An Industrial Example
Martín Soto, Jürgen Münch
An essential characteristic of mature software and system development organizations is the definition and use of explicit process models. For a number of reasons, it can be valuabl…
Process Evolution Supported by Rationale: An Empirical Investigation of Process Changes
Alexis Ocampo, Jürgen Münch
Evolving a software process model without a retrospective and, in consequence, without an understanding of the process evolution, can lead to severe problems for the software devel…
The Secret Life of a Process Description: A Look into the Evolution of a Large Process Model
Martín Soto, Alexis Ocampo, Jürgen Münch
