Abstract
While software process improvement (SPI) aims at optimizing software processes to produce high-quality software, SPI efforts in software development are still inert in practice, especially in developing countries. In this work, we make an experimental investigation aiming at developing a model for applying SPI of CMMI level 2 practice based on the views and experiences of small and medium-sized software firms in Bangladesh. The primary goal of this study is to determine how commonly a given CMMI practice is adopted to build a new maturity model within specific exercises. We use questionnaire-based survey sessions as the main tool to collect data from 9 SMEs in Bangladesh. Practitioners were asked to choose and rank CMMI level 2 practices based on the five classes of evaluations. Afterward, based on CMMI Level 2 practices from the acquired data, we develop a maturity model for adopting SPI.The paper proposes a model to improve those particular practices to build successful CMMI-based SPI and increase the success rate of CMMI-based SPI initiatives.
