SUNNYVALE, Calif. -- Applied Signal Technology, Inc. (Nasdaq:APSG) announced today that it was recently appraised and rated at Maturity Level 3 of the Capability Maturity ModelR for Software (CMMR) of the Software Engineering Institute SEI. The announcement was made October 26, 2005 during the findings meeting at the company's Sunnyvale,...
There is a widespread demand for factual information about the impact and benefits of process improvement based on Capability Maturity Model Integration CMMI models. Much has been learned since the Software Engineering Institute SEI published a special report on this topic over two years ago. There now is evidence that...
The phenomenon of organisations concurrently implementing multiple process frameworks was highlighted in a survey conducted at the Australian Information Tech Technology Service Management Forum. While the survey gathered insights on the status, issues and expectations of organisations implementing the IT Infrastructure Library ITIL, it was evident from the data co...
NATICK, Mass. & BANGALORE, India -- Trigent, a provider of software services and solutions for enterprise and ISV clients, announced that it has been independently assessed by KPMG against the Capability Maturity ModelR for Software (CMM or SW-CMM) and has been rated at CMM Level 4. It is currently one...
Organizations that endeavor to improve their processes often find themselves juggling many approaches to achieve that improvement. To be most effective, all improvement initiatives selected should be implemented in an integrated fashion, not as layered or stovepiped efforts. This paper focuses on the joint use of two popular improvement initiatives:...
NEW YORK -- L-3 Communications (NYSE: LLL) announced today that its ComCept (L-3 ComCept) division has been recognized by process experts as utilizing industry best practices mandated by the Capability Maturity Model Integration (CMMIR) certification.
Lithuanian IT companies have a growing interest in the software quality assurance and software process improvement. However, specialized software process models, such as CMM Capability Maturity Model or ISO 15504 SPICE, are not widely known. The object of this paper is a case study of the software process improvement effort...
In this paper issues of creating case tools, implementing capability maturity models, for software process improvement are analyzed. A range of aspects of using the maturity models were analyzed to this end; these aspects were taken into consideration when designing the case tools structure. The group of existing case tools...
This paper presents an integrated framework for software process improvement according to CMM. The framework is double-integrated. First, it is based on the systematic integration of dynamic modules to build a dynamic model to model each maturity level proposed in the reference model. As a consequence, a hierarchical set of...
One of the main problems with software engineering is due to the difficulties in evaluating and improving the software processes, especially in the light of the fact that reuse depends on a process which supports it. Generally used approaches to the evaluation and improvement of software processes are based on...
Much of the work on process maturity takes inspiration from the Software Engineering Institute's Capability Maturity Model (SEI CMM.). CMM was developed for software engineering disciplines before the advent of BPM systems. Frameworks based on CMM concepts can incorrectly conflate the maturity of business processes with the maturity with which...
With CIOs increasingly dependent on outside service providers to help with software projects, some have come to view Capability Maturity Model CMM (and its new, more comprehensive successor, CMM Integration, or CMMI) as the USDA seal of approval for software providers. Yet CIOs who buy the services of a provider...
The last decade has been nothing but tumultuous for Russians who have seen their linear cultural history - which dwarfs an American timeline - politically reborn yet again. Visit the museums here and it will feel cyclical. There are winners and losers, the marginalized and the radically rewarded. The Russian...
Producers of the co-ordinate measuring machines CMM deliver many additional measuring programs for the special purposes. There are programs for the measurement of the gears. It is of great importance to carry out the accurate metrological analysis of the measuring process and the final error of the gears' measurement with...
An attempt to formal description of the procedure of optimization of measuring strategy on CMM was made and is being discussed briefly in this paper. A set of feasible solutions, constrains and objective function were defined. Chosen steps of optimization were described. An example of documenting of measuring strategy was...
People using the Software Engineering Institute's Capability Maturity Model for Software CMM often struggle with the apparent paradigm shift as they transition from levels 2 and 3 to levels 4 and 5. At levels 1 and 2, the measures are primarily status mPeople using the Software Engineering Institute's Capability Maturity...
This whitepaper focuses on Capability Maturity Model Integration CMMI, which is a process improvement framework. CMMI is an integrated approach to process improvement. The same methodology and framework is used to improve processes related to software engineering, system engineering, product development and supplier sourcing. CMMI was formed to combine multiple...
This paper provides the author's personal views and perspectives on software process improvement. Starting with his first work on technology assessment in IBM few years ago, Watts Humphrey describes the process improvement work he has been directly involved in. This includes the development of the early process assessment methods, the...
