Library of predefined software process models as support for software factory design: the SFINX proposal

The Esprit Project 1262 Software Factory Integration and Experimentation (SFINX) has focused on software process models and software factories and has developed a design method based on four interrelated activities: strategic planning, tool selection, process modeling, and data modeling. The SFINX experience in process modeling, which has resulted in a tool prototype, is considered. The SFINX prototype allows a library of predefined software process models (SPMs) to be managed by means of model specification, customization, and validation mechanisms.<
