Process-oriented Small And Medium-sized Software Companies To Improve The Research And Design Of The Model

Information technology and information industry have become the symbols of the new productivity since the last 20 years. Particularly, as the core of the information industry, software industry has been developed unprecedentedly. However, software crisis has still handicapped the development of software line from the last 70s'. At present, software enterprises in our country are facing the challenge of the volume-produce of software. Medium and small-sized software firms in software industry accounts for more 60%, and such kinds of enterprises have inferior ability to produce with the lower quality products due to their miniature scales, lack of capital and talented employees.Through the learning and studying in the Capability Maturity Model, and also based on the capacity standard of CMM2, this paper proposes a set of model for software processing improvement (Simplified Software Process Improvement, SSPI), which improved and epurated the key processing areas in CMM2. SSPI is aimed to the true situation of the software industry in our country with the features, such as easy operation and low-cost. The model is process model, which is between CMM model public standard and the firm specific criteria. SSPI is easier to understand and accept than the others. With the model, corporations can make out the recognizing criteria and project development easily. A supporting tool ?SSPI Manager is developed to help the implementation of SSPI.The purpose of the paper is to standardize software development process in Medium and small-sized firms, and to improve their abilities in software process productivity.
