Adaptive Guidance based on Context Profile for Software Process Modeling

Abstract

International audience—This paper aims to define an adaptive guidance for software process modeling. The proposed guidance approach is based on development's profile context (actor's role in the process, actor's qualification and related activities in progress). We introduce new guidance concepts through adaptive guidance meta-model (AGM) allowing specific assistance interventions (corrective, constructive and automatic guidance). We illustrate our guidance approach using SPEM formalism extended with these new guidance concepts

Study of Context Modelling Criteria in Information Retrieval

“…To evaluate a model means to assess its quality properties, such as accuracy... Effectively, the quality criteria of a context model are [34][35][36][37][38][39][40][41][42][43][44]:…”

Quality Assessment Model of the Adaptive Guidance

“…This trend seems interesting, however, it only poses a problem in the ability and quality adaptation to the possible variations of the development context (Garcia and Pacheco, 2009;kirk et al, 2009). For this, it is necessary to assist developers and ensure the plasticity of the adaptive guidance systems (Calvary et al, 2002;Coutaz, 2010;Khemissa et al, 2012;Khemissa et al, 2014) with their ability to adapt to the current development context, defined by the triplet (material platform, developer profile, activity context), in respect of their usefulness. Usefulness refers rigorously to quality services offered to developers.…”

“…Therefore, the system quality is estimated as a set of protocols and principles to be applied during the use of the guidance system to meet those needs. In a first stage, our work is rather focused on the study and synthesis of the limits of the existing software process modeling environments (Calvary et al, 2002;Coutaz, 2010;Khemissa et al, 2012). Taking into account specific factors for an adaptive guidance, we have classified these limits through retained factors describing explicitly the basic concepts linked to the adaptive guidance aspect (Khemissa et al, 2012;Khemissa et al, 2014).…”

Plasticity of a Guidance System for Software Process Modeling

“…Taking into account specific criteria for an adaptive guidance, we have classified these limits through several criteria describing explicitly the basic concepts linked to the adaptive guidance [5,6,12]. To realize the effectiveness of plasticity concept of the guidance system supported by its adaptation ability to current development context, we refer to the studied meta-models and modeling environments [12,13]. The selected criteria are defined by:…”
