Study Of Personal Software Process And Its Support Tools

It is verified that in order to develop high-quality software products consistently and efficiently, software professionals should focus on improving software development process and execute scientific software engineering management. Capability maturity model(CMM), Team software process(TSP) and Personal software process (PSP) are considered the best software process currently by academic researchers and industry. CMM/TSP/PSP are laid particular emphasis respectively, and complement each other. The paper focuses on the study of PSP and combines the theory with practice. It includes two aspects, which are the study of the principles and methods of the PSP, the study of how to design and implementation of PSP supporting tools.Firstly, the paper elaborated in keeping with our working method and experience in the PSP, be the theories foundation that this topic practices. It gives the definition of software process and personal software process, introduces the PSP framework and the baseline process, and then analyzes the PSP methods about data gathering, size and resource, estimating, and defect management.Secondly, according to the above theory, based on the software engineering, A PSP supporting tools is designed and applied. The tools are designed based on the B/S(Browser/Server) net structure, and the Windows 2000+ASP+SQL server 2000 is its development environment, the paper are illustrate the design thinking and realize machine, which is support the definition, execute and metric of PSP, and can used for PSP training.Thirdly, the paper reflects the result of the PSP and its support tools, and summarizes the practice and defect, which will be improved in the next work.
