Abstract
Risk management is a continuous process that could endanger the objectives of a project or application. Risks are handled to reduce and avoid threats effects on the objectives of the project. The sources of risk are both internal and external to the project. This research will identify general measures for the specific goal and its specific practices of Risk Management Process Area (PA) in Capability Maturity Model Integration (CMMI). CMMI is developed by Software Engineering Institute (SEI) in Carnegie Mellon University in USA. CMMI is a framework for improvement and assessment of computer information systems. The method we used to define the measures is to apply the Goal Questions Metrics (GQM) paradigm to the specific goals and its specific practices of Risk Management Process Area in CMMI.
Highlights
Risk management is a continuous process that addresses issues that could endanger the objectives of a computer information system [10]
The remainder of the paper is organized as follows: section 2 describes related work in software measurement for the Capability Maturity Model Integration (CMMI), section 3 presents an overview of the CMMI, section 4 presents an overview of the GQM, section 5 describes the applying of the GQM to the CMMI, section 6 describes the validity and reliability of the defined measures, and section 7 presents conclusions
This paper presents a set of measures that are focused on a specific Process Area (PA), Risk Management PA of the CMMI-SW
Summary
Risk management is a continuous process that addresses issues that could endanger the objectives of a computer information system [10]. The reward of adoption of CMMI is the software process improvement and the product quality enhancement It defines a common language and a uniform standard for staff members in daily tasks, and provides quantitative indicators for work performance and consolidates management [26]. It covers several bodies of knowledge and defined many process areas, specific and generic goals, specific and generic practices, and a lot of typical work products. This paper defines a general measure for the three specific goals and its seven specific practices of Risk Management which is one of the PA in level 3 in CMMI-SW (Staged Representation) model. The measures will be defined by applying Goal Question Metrics (GQM) paradigm to the specific goal and its specific practices of Risk Management PA. The remainder of the paper is organized as follows: section 2 describes related work in software measurement for the CMMI, section 3 presents an overview of the CMMI, section 4 presents an overview of the GQM, section 5 describes the applying of the GQM to the CMMI, section 6 describes the validity and reliability of the defined measures, and section 7 presents conclusions
