Process Modeling CS 4320 Fall 2003
Process Difficulties • SW not a production line • Each project is different—even within the same company • No universally accepted processes for SE • Shelfware • No Training • Resistance (is not always futile)
Levels of Process (Humphrey) • U – Universe (Life Cycles) • W – Worldly (sequence of tasks and prereq) • A – Atomic (enormously detailed) • Can also be viewed as: • Policies • Procedures • Standards
Example Levels (Humphrey) • U – Waterfall Model • W – Critical Design Review held before entry into implementation, Issues are submitted to… • A – Actual checklist for critical design review
Levels of Process (Text) • Meta-Object Facility – Model of Model Notation • Process Metamodel – Model Notation (UML) • Process Model – Model itself (RUP) • Performing Process – What we actually do
Process Decomposition (ISO 12207) • Process (High Level Category) • Activity (Major Common Categories) • Task (Actual Work Tasks)
Examples • Process: Software Requirements Analysis • Activity: Complete Requirements Spec • Task: Conduct Requirements Review
ISO Std 12207 • Primary • Acquisition (Let the contract) • Supply (Fulfill the contract) • Development (Make the product) • Operation (Operate the product in a system) • Maintenance (Correct/Modify the product)
ISO Std 12207 • Organizational Processes • Management • Infrastructure • Improvement • Human Resource • Asset Management • Reuse Program Management • Domain Engineering
ISO Std 12207 • Supporting • Documentation • Configuration Management • Quality Assurance • Verification • Validation • Joint Review • Audit • Problem Resolution • Usability • Product Evaluation
ISO Std 12207 • Development Activities • Process Implementation • System Requirements Analysis • System Architectural Design • Software Requirements Analysis • Software Architectural Design • Software Detailed Design • Software Coding and Testing • Software Integration • Software Qualification Testing • System Integration • System Qualification Testing • Software Installation • Software Acceptance Support
U Level Software Life Cycle Models • Examples of Models: • Code-and-Fix • Waterfall • Incremental, Design to Sched • Spiral • Evolutionary Proto, Delivery • Life-cycle: A project-specific, sequenced mapping of activities. May be a “standard” model adapted for your specific project. • Choose Right One for project and Tailor it • Table 7-1 (Rapid Development) Choosing a life cycle model
Issues in Selecting Life Cycle • How well are requirements understood? • How “firm” are requirements? • How long can you go without “something”? • How much risk is there? • How hard is it to use the model? • How much overhead is required? • Do I have an artificial schedule?
