A process-modeling based approach to comparing and integrating software design methodologies

Experience in using a systematic approach to compare and integrate software design methodologies is reported. A comparison approach based on modeling the design methodologies and classifying their components is discussed. Six design methodologies were composed in the context of using this approach, and assessed in relation to comparable work of other researchers. Experiences with assessments of the comparison approach indicate that it is a powerful tool for analyzing software development methodologies.<
