Towards taxonomy of software drift in software processes
Xiaoqun Pan · Computer Engineering and Applications Journal · 2007
In this paper,the basic definition,relevant concepts and forms of software drift are expatiated primarily.According to the effects on development processes,a taxonomy of negative drifts is studied so as to explain why these drifts are generated in different phases.Then,the relations between negative drifts and software quality attributes are summed up,and the evaluation of their impacts on software quality is qualitatively analyzed.At last,some key problems such as control strategies and metrics for software drift that need to be solved are introduced to guide the future work.
