Apparatus and method for recommending software process improvement

摘要

An apparatus and method for recommending software process improvement are disclosed. The method includes generating improvement packages from correlated findings by analyzing correlations between findings identified from different processes, refining the improvement packages by performing an additional correlation analysis on the improvement packages, and providing an action plan for process improvement by building recommendations from the refined improvement packages.

主权项

1. A method for recommending software process improvement using at least one processor, the method comprising:
generating improvement packages from correlated findings by analyzing correlations between findings identified from different processes, the improvement packages generated by at least:
receiving findings identified by process assessment;calculating correlation weights for the findings by determining input and output between the findings using a symmetrical matrix having the findings in rows and columns; andgrouping a predetermined number of findings into the improvement packages in a descending order of the correlation weights; refining the improvement packages by performing an additional correlation analysis on the improvement packages from at least one of an organizational view, a software life cycle view, an assessment model view, and a business value view; and providing an action plan for process improvement by building recommendations from the refined improvement packages.
