Cmmi-based Small And Medium-sized Software Companies Software Process Improvement

It's well known that software enterprise cannot produce high quality product until available measurement and process standardization could be applied to software processes after decades of years' study. A majority of software enterprises in china is SME in which software are seldom developed repeat by successful software processes. Consequently, it's crucial to combine the practices of local firms with software process methods.CMMI, the most famous method among numerous software process improvement ones, can be applied to large-scaled enterprises, while many difficulties will be confronted as it is implemented to SME. This paper will bring out a software process improvement method targeting to local software enterprises. Based on CMMI principles and other software engineering theories, the method will be good for local enterprises that want to improve software process capability. The main contents are as follows:(1) Investigating software process and improvement theories.(2) Comparing current software process improvement standards.(3) Proposing the basic ideas for the process improvement of the small and medium-sized software enterprises.(4) Proposing a software process improvement framework based on CMMI as well as a specific implementation suggestion.
