Quality software products fulfilling the combined expectations of the customer are essential for success in the market, particularly for small software enterprises. The quality of a complex software product can only be based on performing a mature development process. The assessment of the software processes helps to determine the capability of an organization and to initiate a process improvement. For the assessment of organizations, several methodologies have been proposed. Examples include the CMM (Capability Maturity Model), BOOTSTRAP and the new standard ISO 15504, formerly called SPICE (Software Process Improvement Capability dEtermination). For small enterprises, however, high-priced and sophisticated assessment methods depending on several external consultants are inviable. This paper reports on the experiences of an assessment and improvement process in a small software company. The process is based on an initial self-evaluation and following structured interviews in the company. A first application of the approach has revealed very promising results.

The context of software quality movement determines the boundaries of "change" for software development organizations. In this paper, we analyze the context of software quality movement in terms of its assumptions and difficulties. In the light of research in software quality movement and analogous research in the business management field, we outline a complementary approach to resolve some of these difficulties.

The microcomputer model is a system which simulates the operation of a relatively simple microcomputer. The simulation program runs on a Tandberg EC 10 Intelligent Terminal equipped with a floppy disc. The diagram of the computer is displayed on the terminal screen. The display indicates how data and instructions are entered, stored and manipulated during the execution of a program. The model has its own instruction set which makes it possible to demonstrate simple programs. Programs may be executed automatically or under manual speed control. This makes it possible to study the action caused by either each single clock pulse, or by each single instruction.
