Software Measurement Process Capability Maturity Model

Abstract

Both software organizations and the academic community are aware that the software measurement process is in need of future support. Academic community has a lot of research in the software measurement theory, methods, tools, etc. Software organizations are also implement measurement activity with various ways. However, there is a problem: how about their measurement process in the end? It addresses this problem by creating a specialized software measurement process capability maturity model (SMP-CMM). SMP-CMM including five maturity levels: initial, tentatively, defined, compesive and optimized. The model focus on the basic practice areas which should be implementing of every level, it helps the originations to assess their measurement process and provides guidance for them to a higher maturity level.
