In December 2003 a Brazilian nationwide program was created aiming at improving software processes. The MPS.BR Program is responsible for a great evolution in the software development scenario in Brazil by providing the means to support software process improvement initiatives based on the MPS Model. In 2008 a project named iMPS was launched to enable the analysis of the Performance Results of organizations...
Defect causal analysis (DCA) is a means of product focused software process improvement. A systematic literature review to identify the DCA state of the art has been undertaken. The systematic review gathered unbiased knowledge and evidence and identified opportunities for further investigation. Moreover, some guidance on how to efficiently implement DCA in software organizations could be elaborated...
ISPIS, a framework for supporting software inspection processes, resulted from academic research. Its conceptual phase started by informally reviewing the state of the art regarding software inspections and formalizing a proposal for supporting them. The set of requirements of this proposal was mainly derived from knowledge acquired by experimental studies. Although the resulting implementation was...
Most software is deterministic and thus, given a starting state and a fixed set of inputs, it will produce the same output every time those inputs are applied. This allows many functional software tests to be specified in a procedural way with usually few reasoning involved in their execution. As a result, automation becomes desirable and important in this context. However, many times product evolution...
This paper describes ISPIS, a computational framework for supporting the software inspection process whose requirements set was derived from knowledge acquired by empirical studies. ISPIS allows the inspection of all artifact types by geographically distributed teams. Specific defect detection support is provided by the integration of external tools. A case study has shown the feasibility of using...
