Organizing the Software Development Process Knowledge: An Approach Based on Patterns
Francisco M. de Vasconcelos, Cláudia Maria Lima Werner · International Journal of Software Engineering and Knowledge Engineering · 1998
This paper describes an approach to support software development process descriptions in the context of the Memphis Environment (a Reuse Based Software Development Environment), allowing the organization of a software development asset, i.e., the process knowledge. The approach uses software patterns to organize the information, and provides a tool that handles the process descriptions as a source of solutions to problems detected by project management. It enhances the environment features in terms of project management support, process modeling capability, and process evolution support.
