An integrated approach to formulate a value-based software process tailoring framework
Noor Azura Zakaria1, Suhaimi Ibrahim2, Mohd Naz’ri Mahrin3.
Software process tailoring is an approach to customise the existing software
development process or model that able to meet the software project’s
needs. Software development project is unique and identical from one and
another whereby the practices and decision should not be equally treated.
Software process tailoring requires knowledge and intuition to make
decision such as factors involved in the software project, selection of the
suitable software process elements and tailoring operations. Software
process tailoring practices focusing more on project characteristics factors
and employs ad hoc approach in making the decision. In the absent of
value-based factors and systematic method in software process tailoring,
subjectivity is embedded in decision making process and the software
development project suffers from satisfying the stakeholder. This study
presents an integrated approach to formulate a Value-Based Software
Process Tailoring Framework (VBSPTF) to overcome this problem. The
framework is a combination of value-based factors, MoSCoW rules, Quality
Functional Deployment (QFD), Activity-Based Costing (ABC), Priority Map,
Value Index and Value Graph. This study perhaps can contribute to the
software process tailoring practitioners to be exposed with a systematic
method to conduct software process tailoring as well as improving the
practices and reducing subjectivity in decision making.
