“…that the implementation meets its specification. Most current quality standards, however, certify only that the software development process meets some certain criteria and do not certify the actual product since there exists certain limits to the verification of complex components (see also [23] for a discussion of process based quality standards). Technical and architectonical standards (e.g.…”

The idea of component based software systems has a long tradition in the field of software engineering. Component markets have been an integral part of this idea. However, such markets can be found only rarely in practice, i.e. markets for software components still need to evolve. The aim of this paper is to discuss the drivers and inhibitors to the development of a software component industry which we consider as an important prerequisite for software component markets. Based on an earlier path model from a different author we present a model that is targeted at but not limited to the software industry and that has the degree of modularity of an industry as it most important dependent variable. The degree of modularity as assumed by the model is influenced mainly by four factors, i.e. domain complexity, customer influence, pressure towards a modular design and standards. The factors and the dimensions of the factor are discussed in this paper. The model is discussed only theoretical. However, we plan to operationalize the factors and to test the model empirically in a later stage.

“…In the case of models and standards of processes, these have been studied individually (Gray, 1996;Garcia, 1998;Humphrey, 1998;Arnold & Lawson, 2004;Curtis, Phillips, & Weszka, 2001;Menezes, 2002) and comparatively (Sheard & Lake, 1998;Johnson & Dindo, 1998;Wright, 1998;Paulk, 1995Paulk, , 1998Paulk, , 1999Halvorsen & Conrado, 2000;Minnich, 2002;Boehm & Vasili, 2005). While both kinds of studies on standards and models of processes have been useful to describe the main categories of processes, contrast directly two or more schemes, identify their focus of application, strengths and weaknesses, similarities and differences, and their fitness with a particular SE or SwE development approach, all of them have not used a normative-generic systemic model of a worldwide organization to estimate their process completeness and process balance constructs, neither to estimate their inherent business process understanding complexity in practitioners.…”

-Software is increasing in size and complexity. As a direct implication, organizations nd it more difficult to achieve the desired product quality. Process improvement models are used to improve product quality. In recent years the combination of different improvement models is increasing. The main challenge in these environments is the interoperability of chosen models. An incorrect integration approach diminishes efficiency and effectiveness on applying these models. The general objective of this thesis is to identify principles and process characteristics for designing a system of processes at the architectural level. As a result of this research work, an improved understanding of improvement models interoperability is expected by identifying the technical and structural relationships between processes that will help architecting a system of processes.
