“…Although prescriptive descriptions of software development methodologies exist, in practice software development methodologies are often times adjusted or tailored according to the needs for the project being implemented [36] [37] [38]. According to [36] it is unusual for a software method to be used completely in its textbook form, instead adjustments are made, tailoring to suit the project being executed.…”

“…According to [36] it is unusual for a software method to be used completely in its textbook form, instead adjustments are made, tailoring to suit the project being executed. Even quality models like CMMI and ISO/IEC 12007 consider tailoring of the process as a requirement for software development companies [38]. Yet there is little evidence to show tailoring done to specifically address the shortcomings of the agile process.…”

Agile methods have the potential for cost effective and efficient software development thereby facilitating economic sustainability. A well-defined process is associated with a better quality software product and a sustainable production flow. However, agile processes have their shortcomings such as inadequately detailed user stories and lack of overall (architectural) design. Such shortcomings can affect the effectiveness of the agile process. Using principles of process tailoring, three agile processes are tailored by adding steps that address their weaknesses. The tailored processes once derived were implemented and tested. The results of the controlled case study show that the altered extreme programming resulted in better cost effectiveness and may be a useful angle for enhancing economic sustainability.

“…A diferencia de una revisión de conformidad, el objetivo es directamente mejorar el proceso, en vez de medir la diferencia con el proceso idealizado. Esta información puede ser utilizada por los gestores de proyectos e ingenieros de proceso que deben determinar qué variaciones se incluirán en el proceso final (Santos & Oliveira, 2015).…”

Resumen: La minería de procesos es un campo que utiliza elementos de la minería de datos y el modelamiento de procesos para realizar tareas de descubrimiento, evaluación de conformidad y mejora de procesos. El objetivo de este artículo es mostrar la aplicación y utilidad de la minería de procesos en la ingeniería de software. Se presenta una serie de casos de estudio que ilustran aplicaciones sobre el proceso y el producto. Además, se muestran los desafíos a los que se enfrenta la minería de procesos en la ingeniería de software. El principal resultado de esta investigación corresponde a que el uso de minería de procesos facilita la evaluación y auditoría de procesos de software. Se propone como trabajo futuro el desarrollo de una metodología para la aplicación de la minería de procesos en la ingeniería de software. Palabras-clave: minería de procesos; desarrollo de software; evaluación de procesos; mejora de procesos.

A software company can define a software process line (SPrL) to deal with projects with different characteristics. This entails defining a base process and its variation points; the SPrL is then tailored to each project. This approach avoids the co-evolution problems but is expensive to set up. In companies that register project events, this information could be used to discover the SPrL. However, traditional discovery algorithms focus on extracting a single process, which can be overly complex and would not be useful for managing future projects. Filtering out less frequent behavior leads to the discovery of simpler models, but these may not include relevant behavior. To address these issues, we propose the v-algorithm, which discovers a SPrL from process logs. Two thresholds split the log into three clusters based on relation frequency. The first one is used to generate the base process, the second one is used to identify variable elements, and the last one is discarded. We used the v-algorithm to discover the SPrL of Mobius, a small Chilean software company. We also discuss how the values of the thresholds affect the process discovery quality dimensions, extending existing metrics to the SPrL case.
