Assessing 3-D Integrated Software Development Processes: A New Benchmark

The increasing complexity and dynamic of software development have become the most critical challenges for large projects. As one of the new emerged methodologies to these problems, TRISO-Model uses an integrated three-dimensional structure to classify and organize the essential elements in software development. In order to simulate and evaluate the modeling ability of TRISO-Model, a new benchmark is created in this paper, called SPW-2006 Example, by extending the ISPW-6 Example. It may be used to evaluate other software process models, and/or to evaluate software organizations, software projects and also software development processes, particularly 3-D integrated software development processes. With the SPW-2006 Example and its evolution for quantitative evaluation to 3-D integrated software development processes, a new approach of TRISO-Model based assessment and improvement is enabled.
