Software Process Improvement Models Sample Clauses

Software Process Improvement Models. This section tries to describe some of the most well known process improvement practices models. It will focuses on Capability Maturity Model Integration (CMMI). It is a model for the improvement of the processes that provide to the organizations the necessary elements for efficient processes. Nowadays, there are two areas where CMMI focuses its interests: • CMMI for Development: it considers services and products development processes • CMMI for Acquisition: it considers supply chain management, acquisition and outsourcing processes in government and industry. Next releases will include CMMI for Services a guide for delivering services within organization and to external customers. Capability Maturity Model Integration (CMMI) for Development consists of best practices that address development and maintenance activities applied to products and services. Its practices cover the product’s lifecycle from conception through delivery and maintenance. CMMI works over every aspect that is necessary to build and maintain the total product. Considering the organizations as entities that are necessary to dissect in order to analyze their structure and behavior, there can be three dimensions which the study can be focused on: • People • Procedures and Methods • Tools and equipments People with skills, training, and motivation Figure 4-3 The Three Critical Dimensions Tools and equipment It is the processes used in most organizations. Processes allow aligning the way to do business. Through processes it is possible to address scalability and provide a way to incorporate knowledge of how to do things better [CMMI 2006]. The beginning of CMMI is located in the 1930s; Xxxxxx Xxxxxxxx began work in process improvement with his principles of statistical quality control [Shewhart 1931]. These principles were refined by X. Xxxxxxx Xxxxxx [Xxxxxx 1986], Xxxxxxx Xxxxxx [Xxxxxx 1979], and Xxxxxx Xxxxx [Xxxxx 1988]. Xxxxx Xxxxxxxx, Xxx Xxxxxx, and others extended these principles even further and began applying them to software in their work at IBM and the SEI [Xxxxxxxx 1989]. Xxxxxxxx’x book, Managing the Software Process, provides a description of the basic principles and concepts on which many of the capability maturity models (CMMs®) are based. The CMM IntegrationSM project came up because there were some CMMs that should be combined [CMMI 2006]: • The Capability Maturity Model for Software (SW-CMM) v2.0 draft C [SEI 1997b] • The Systems Engineering Capability Model (SECM) [E...

The Provider hereby grants to the Recipient a non-exclusive, non-transferable license to use, in object code form, any TSA-Licensed Software that is made available by the Provider pursuant to a Service Schedule. For the avoidance of doubt, the Provider that makes available any TSA-Licensed Software in connection with the provision of any Service retains the unrestricted right to enhance or otherwise modify such TSA-Licensed Software at any time, provided that such enhancements or other modifications do not disrupt the provision of such Service to the Recipient.

Some TSA-Licensed Software may require license keys or contain other technical protection measures. The Recipient acknowledges that the Provider may monitor the Recipient’s compliance with use restrictions and authorizations remotely, or otherwise. If the Provider makes a license management program available which records and reports license usage information, the Recipient agrees to appropriately install, configure and execute such license management program.

(f) The Recipient will not modify, reverse engineer, disassemble, decrypt, decompile, or make derivative works of the TSA-Licensed Software. Where the Recipient has other rights mandated under statute, the Recipient will provide the Provider with reasonably detailed information regarding any intended modifications, reverse engineering, disassembly, decryption, or decompilation and the purposes therefor. (g) The Recipient may permit a consultant or subcontractor to use TSA-Licensed Software at the licensed location for the sole purpose of providing services to the Recipient.
