Six Sigma has been adopted by many software development organizations to identify problems in software projects and processes, find optimal solutions for the identified problems, and quantitatively improve the development processes so as to achieve organizations' business goals. A Six Sigma framework for software process improvements is needed to provide a standard process and analysis tools for Six Sigma project executions, and also provide a platform for collaborations with other process improvement approaches, such as PSP/TSP and CMM/CMMI. However, few frameworks have been proposed to support Six Sigma project executions. Most of Six Sigma projects for software process improvements have been performed in an ad-hoc way. In this paper, we propose a framework to support Six Sigma projects for continuous process improvements for software developments. Based on this framework, we implemented a web-based tool, called SSPMT integrated with a software project management tool and a PSP supporting tool. The suggested framework and SSPMT is beneficial in initiating and executing Six Sigma projects, facilitating data collection and data analyses by Six Sigma toolkits, and standardizing the Six Sigma project execution process so as to achieve Six Sigma project goals and of organizations' business goals.

“…Especially the Personal Software Process (PSP) approach (Humphrey, 1997) has given inspiration to many time tracking tools, as in PSP measurement and analysis of historical data is in key role in making estimates of effort and product quality. PROM (Sillitti et al, 2003) and Jasmine (Shin et al, 2007) are other examples of time tracking tools.…”

This paper represents a study of working time usage in a small software development organization. The purpose of the study was twofold. First, we wanted to understand how software developers in the organization work and second, we wanted to explore the attitudes they had toward different types of time tracking approaches. The aim was to provide practical suggestions of appropriate methods and tools for monitoring the developers' time. According to the results, working with computer tools occupies the overwhelming majority of the working time although manual tasks and interruptions take some of the time. Even though the developers in the case company do not feel threatened by time monitoring, they do not either feel that monitoring is necessary, which is interesting and challenging from the project management viewpoint. We suggest that the case company should establish a lightweight, tool-based time tracking process and trains the developers to use the system and report their working time accurately.

“…Although several tools exist to automate data collection and produce performance charts, tables and reports for manual analysis of TSP/PSP data [7] [8] [9] [10], practically no tool support exists for automating the performance analysis. There are also some studies that show cause-effect relationships among performance indicators [11] [12], but no automated root cause analysis is proposed.…”

High-maturity software development processes, making intensive use of metrics and quantitative methods, such as the TSP/PSP, can generate large amounts of data that can be periodically analyzed to identify performance problems, determine their root causes and devise improvement actions. However, there is a lack of tool support for automating that type of analysis, and hence diminish the manual effort and expert knowledge required. So, we propose in this paper a comprehensive performance model, addressing time estimation accuracy, quality and productivity, to enable the automated (tool based) analysis of performance data produced in the context of the PSP, namely, identify performance problems and their root causes, and subsequently recommend improvement actions. Performance ranges and dependencies in the model were calibrated and validated, respectively, based on a large PSP data set referring to more than 30,000 finished projects.
