Title
BOOTSTRAP: A Software Process Assessment and Improvement Methodology
Abstract
The BOOTSTRAP approach to software process assessment and improvement offers a methodology which can be suitably used with different types of the software process and products, and with different software producing organisation structures and sizes. The approach is supported by cumulative data about the software industry as a whole as well as its individual sectors. At the same time BOOTSTRAP is based on the ISO 9000 series quality standards and appropriately general software project management standards (ESA-PSS-OB), as well as is related to such defacto maturity standards as SEI's CMM. More granularity in expressing capability (in terms of scale and multidimensionality) makes BOOTSTRAP particularly suitable for process improvement. While having established position in Europe and participating in such wider standardization efforts as ISO/SPICE, it is important for BOOTSTRAP to look for comparisons of assumptions and results elsewhere. This paper presents the BOOTSTRAP methodology and and in conclusions brings forward some topics that may constitute a cultural interface orspecific boundary conditions between different software process assessment and improvement approaches.
