The SMART approach for software process engineering

Describes a methodology for software process engineering and an environment, SMART, that supports it. SMART supports a process life-cycle that includes the modeling, analysis, and execution of software processes. SMARTs process monitoring capabilities can be used to provide feedback from the process execution to the process model. SMART represents the integration of three separately developed process mechanisms, and it uses two modeling formalisms (object-oriented data representation and imperative-style programming language) to bridge the gap between process modeling, analysis, and execution. SMART demonstrates the meta-environment concept, using a process modeling formalism as input specification to a generator that produces process-centered software engineering environments (PSEEs). Furthermore, SMART supports a team-oriented approach for process modeling, analysis, and execution.<<ETX>>

Supporting Task Management & Process Automation In The Softbench Development Environment

The word process is used in this document to mean the software development process, which includes the total set of software engineering activities needed to transform a users requirements into software wumphrey881. Process automation within the computer aided software engineering (CASE) environment, then, is to make the act of following this process more automatic; to reduce the amount of human intervention necessary to adhere to the process. A task is a thread of execution within the process; an instantiation of a portion of the process. Because the scope of the process is over the entire organization, so the scope of tasks encompass the entire organization. It is the execution of tasks within an organization which is the focus of this paper.
