Abstract
During the last few years, many Software Process Improvement approaches have been presented to increase the quality of software development activities in software organizations. Current Software Process Improvement (SPI) approach is difficult to apply to Small and Medium-sized Enterprises (SMES) due to the financial, time, and resource costs, associated with their application. In the current marketplace, there are maturity models, standards, methodologies, and guidelines that can help an organization improve the way it does business. However, most available improvement approaches focus on a specific part of the business and do not take a systemic approach to the problems that most organizations are facing. Nowadays, Organizations that develop software recognize that controlling their software processes significantly affects their ability to be successful in business. However, organizations still struggle when trying to apply disciplined methods in the software process. Historically, this struggle has resulted from a lack of operational procedures for use by teams and individuals in developing software in a disciplined fashion. Organizations seem to know what they want their teams to be doing, but they struggle with how to do it. The Personal Software Process (PSP) was designed to provide both a strategy and a set of operational procedures for using disciplined software process methods at the individual and team levels. In this thesis, we are going to propose a description of the current followed Software Process Improvement (SPI) approach in a small sized software company certified with “Capability Maturity Model Integration” (CMMI)-level 1, and we will represent our suggested Personal Software Process (PSP) approach showing the results about the performance and productivity of the company after applying this approach and trying to analyze the output results to evaluate both approaches and conclude the best one.
