The OOSPICE Assessment Component: Customizing Software Process Assessment to CBD

  • Chapter
Business Component-Based Software Engineering

Abstract

OOSPICE is a collaborative EU project which is developing a CBD capability assessment approach along the lines of ISO 15504 together with a development methodology for CBD consistent with this assessment approach. There are several elements to this, one of which is the creation of a process assessment methodology specific to the needs of CBD. This chapter focuses on this assessment methodology component of the overall OOSPICE project. Based on the description of the underlying CBD Process Reference Model forming the common basis for the assessment as well as the CBD methodology, we provide details on the project’s CBD assessment model and show how this model is implemented in the assessment tool and how the application of these two elements to real world CBD projects is supported through an assessment method.
