The software process

 A structured set of activities required to develop a


software system.
 Many different software processes but all involve:
 Specification – defining what the system should do;
 Design and implementation – defining the organization of the system
and implementing the system;
 Validation – checking that it does what the customer wants;
 Evolution – changing the system in response to changing customer
needs.
 A software process model is an abstract representation
of a process. It presents a description of a process from
some particular perspective.
Chapter 2 Software Processes 4
Software process descriptions

 When we describe and discuss processes, we usually


talk about the activities in these processes such as
specifying a data model, designing a user interface, etc.
and the ordering of these activities.
 Process descriptions may also include:
 Products, which are the outcomes of a process activity;
 Roles, which reflect the responsibilities of the people involved in
the process;
 Pre- and post-conditions, which are statements that are true
before and after a process activity has been enacted or a
product produced.

Chapter 2 Software Processes 5


Plan-driven and agile processes

 Plan-driven processes are processes where all of the


process activities are planned in advance and
progress is measured against this plan.
 In agile processes, planning is incremental and it is
easier to change the process to reflect changing
customer requirements.
 In practice, most practical processes include elements
of both plan-driven and agile approaches.
 There are no right or wrong software processes.
