Identifying criteria for multimodel software process improvement solutions – based on a review of current problems and initiatives
@article{Kelemen2012IdentifyingCF, title={Identifying criteria for multimodel software process improvement solutions – based on a review of current problems and initiatives}, author={Z{\'a}dor D{\'a}niel Kelemen and Rob J. Kusters and Jos J. M. Trienekens}, journal={Journal of Software: Evolution and Process}, year={2012}, volume={24} }
In this article, we analyze current initiatives in multimodel software process improvement and identify criteria for multimodel solutions. With multimodel, we mean the simultaneous usage of more than one quality approach (e.g. standards, methods, techniques to improve software processes). This paper discusses first the current problems regarding the use of multiple software quality approaches. Subsequently, multimodel initiatives are categorized into three different groups, respectively…
