Software development evaluation process using CMMI-Dev on limited resources company

Abstract

The quality of products is very important for a software development industry. The product quality is strongly influenced by the software development process. Software development company with limited resources is hard to improve the quality of the software produced. The method to be taken is to improve the software development process to achieve maturity level 2. In this study, CMMI-Dev (CMMI for Development) version 1.3 with continuous representation is used as a reference. SCAMPI-C with PST Tool was used to conduct the assessment of the 5 (five) process areas of CMMI level 2. Data were collected by interviews and observations of project documentation and the process of software development. Unapplied practice from assesment then be analyzed using Ishikawa Analysis to find root of the problem refers to the SPF (Software Process Framework) and subsequently use Pareto Analysis to determine the improvements priority. The process which have already good are in the process area PP (Project Planning), CM (Configuration Management), and most of the processes in the area of PMC (Project Monitoring and Control). Software development processes which are need to be improved in the process area with priority PPQA (Process and Product Quality Assurance), REQM (Requirements Management), then PMC (Project Monitoring and Control). The prior improvement from the SPF category were in the order of procedure category and then process category.
