Software process measuring model

In this paper the Software Process Measuring Model (SPMM) is described. SPMM is a method for software process assessment, quantitative measurement and improvement for software producing organizations (SPOs). It has been developed partly based on a renovation of the CMM/CMMI, Bootstrap and SPICE methods, standards ESA PSS 05, and ISO 90003. SPMM focuses on the software development process in software production enterprises. The article explains the central concept of gaining data about software engineering organizations with a thoroughly constructed questionnaire. It gives a ground to measure the quality maturity level of organization and its projects. The SPMM can be interpreted as a method for describing where an organization stands and what changes are to be recommended in the next steps. The main idea of the SPMM is to determine the process maturity profile of an SPO. The goals of a SPMM self- assessment are: a) to measure and develop an SPO maturity quality profile showing strengths and weaknesses of the SPO assessed, b) to derive the steps for improvement from the shown quality profile. The result of one day assessment in software production organization X (SPO X), and Project X within the SPO X which was held at the beginning of October 2010 is presented. The result of the assessment showed the total organization and methodology maturity levels of the Project X. The organization is on maturity level 2, 83. The methodology is on maturity level of 2, 48. The total maturity level of the organization of SPO X is on maturity level of 2, 42, and the methodology is on maturity level of 2, 57. The organization of the paper is as follows: after the introduction in section one, section two explains the reasons of the SPMM development. Section three depicts the SPMM development. The maturity level algorithm is explicated in the next section. Section five explains the evaluation of the SPO, the assessment results are in section six. The conclusion is given in section seven, and the list of literature in section eight.
