Comparative Study of Software Engineering Processes in Egyptian Cmmi Companies
Alaa Hamouda, Mohammad Abdrabo Elwahsh · 2010
The Egyptian government has paid special attention to the software industry as Egypt to provide it with a competitive advantage that makes this emerging industry promising. Thus, the State has supported the Egyptian companies to make use of the Capability Maturity Model Integration (CMMI). Since 2009, more than thirty companies obtained the CMMI at different levels. However, these companies suffer from lack of a mechanism to exchange experience and information among themselves although they could be similar in the culture of their engineers and perhaps in the nature and size of their software projects. So, we provide in this research a survey to gauge the quality of methods, tools and processes used in these Egyptian companies winning the CMMI. Then we analyzed the results to reach the recommendations aimed at enriching the software industry in Egypt. (Journal of American Science. 2010;6(11):258-263). (ISSN: 1545-1003).
