A Tool to Create Process-Agents for OEC-SPM from Historical Project Data

摘要

Software processes are highly people-dependent and they relay on the capabilities of a group of developers and their creative works. Therefore an Organization-Entity capability based software process modeling method OEC-SPM was proposed to modeling the software process by adopting Process-Agent (PA) as key element. Since the OEC-SPM needs a mass of PAs to perform precise modeling but then the current process of creating PAs is inefficient and people-dependent, this paper presents a tool to create the PAs for OEC-SPM automatically from the Historical Project Data (HPD). The paper makes an overview of the PA's structure in OEC-SPM then gives the definition of HPD. After that the paper introduces to the process of creating PAs in the tool and illustrates the application of the tool with an example on a software quality management system SoftPM. Finally the paper illustrates the tool's result and then presents the future works.
