A Software Development Process for Small Projects

Abstract

We have designed a software development process that is suitable for small software projects, of the type typically performed by postgraduate students. The aim of the process is twofold, namely to put in place a quality management system which is manageable and appropriate for student projects and to provide templates and guidelines to assist students to design good software, in keeping with the current best practices for software design.

“…Therefore, we will assume that the customer requirements have been translated into the Formals, with Sol2 remaining semantically consistent with the Formals. 16 FOI model composition consists of two main steps. The Formal models for each Formal are…”

Agile Software Development Framework in a Small Project Environment

“…ISO 9001 and the Unified Process are very rich and complex and are suited to the development of very large commercial software products [3]. Trengove and Dwolatzky developed a software engineering process based on these two frameworks, but did so in a way that is appropriate for small-scale software development projects [4]. From the perspective of software process assessment and improvement, to stay within the CMMI framework while minimizing assessment time and cost, some small companies run a class B or C assessment instead of a SCAMPI (Standard CMMI Appraisal Method for Process Improvement) class A assessment.…”

“…Traditionalists believe there is no need for a completely different method. They believe the use of a more streamlined version of traditional standard methods is more appropriate [1,3,4]. On the other hand, agile methods are specifically designed with small teams in mind and they have an entirely different approach to scaling up agile processes for large teams.…”
