Software Product Line Measurement Process Capability Maturity Model

Abstract:

Software product line has been a key area of concern in software industry due to its advantage on the productivity and quality of software products. At same time, both software organizations and the academic community are aware that the software measurement is necessary in software product line. However, there are many problems: what is difference in software product line measurement, how about their measurement process in the end, etc. It addresses this problem by creating a specialized Software Product Line Measurement Process Capability Maturity Model (SPLMP-CMM). SPLMP-CMM including five maturity levels: initial, tentatively, defined, compesive and optimized. The model focus on the basic practice areas which should be implementing of every level, it helps the originations to assess their measurement process and provides guidance for them to a higher maturity level.
