The following will be discussed in this chapter: The roadmap to building high quality software products is software process; software processes are adapted to meet the needs of software engineers and managers as they undertake the development of a software product; a software process provides a framework for managing activities that can very easily get out of control;. | Chapter 2 Process Models Slide Set to accompany Software Engineering: A Practitioner’s Approach, 7/e by Roger S.

A Generic Process Model Process Flow Identifying a Task Set A task set defines the actual work to be done to accomplish the objectives of a software engineering action. A list of the task to be accomplished A list of the work products to be produced A list of the quality assurance filters to be applied Process Patterns A process pattern describes a process-related problem that is encountered during software engineering work, identifies the environment in which the problem has been encountered, and suggests one or more proven solutions to the problem. Stated in more general terms, a process pattern provides you with a template [Amb98]—a consistent method for describing problem solutions within the context of the software process. Process Pattern Types Stage patterns—defines a problem associated with a framework activity for the process. Task patterns—defines a problem associated with a software engineering action or work task and relevant to successful software engineering practice Phase patterns—define the sequence of framework activities that occur with the process, even when the overall flow of activities is iterative in nature. Process Assessment and Improvement Standard CMMI Assessment Method for Process Improvement (SCAMPI) — provides a five step process assessment model that incorporates five phases: initiating, diagnosing, establishing, acting and learning.
