As representative international software process models, ISO/IEC 15504(Software Process Improvement and Capability determination) and CMMI(Capability Maturity Model Integration) can be considered. In this paper we present the Korea software process certification mode (K-model) that can be easily applied on small and medium sized business to process improvement and certification in Korea. This study also compares the practices of K-model with practices of CMMI and ISO/IEC 15504. We expect that the small and light nature of Kmodel will improve the software process for Korea enterprises.

Application lifecycle management (ALM) integrates the lifecycle workflows such as, requirements management, architecture, coding, testing, tracking, and release management. Process automation and seamless traceability across the process are so important. But, different terminology and different model were used to implement the tool for specific workflow so that it is not possible to communicate between the tools. In this paper, we suggest new approach to achieve the seamless traceability and process automation. For these features, knowledge formalization is critical. Evidence-based medicine is good reference architecture to ALM2. Software Engineering ontology is powerful solution to semantic gap between tools and guidelinebased process execution environment can be practical solution to process automation. In this paper, we suggest the architecture for automating the ALM using process management technology and guideline-based engineering

SUMMARYIn order to make high-quality software and high-performance software, systematic development management and organizational support should be essentially considered. Since the 1990s software process models such as ISO/IEC 15504 and CMMI have been used to improve and evaluate an organization's capability. However, these models have problems that are used to apply on large-scale organizations or large projects and hence many practices are actually required that eventually do not supply systematic metrics for process measuring. In this paper, we present the characteristics of the K-model which can easily be applied to small-and medium-sized businesses or projects, and propose the standard metrics based on the K-model for measuring quantitative quality values. We also formally define a K-model-based certificate procedure.
