Description
Process improvement is an essential requirement for any company involved in the production or maintainance of software which seeks to retain a competitive position. This book examines the improvement of software processes based on a software assessment. Software assessment aims at increasing the software product quality and process productivity. This book is the result of three years of research, development and experience within the ESPRIT project called "BOOTSTRAP". The authors have created an entirely new assessment methodology, specifically focused on the European software industry.
