“…An experimental study was planned and executed in 2004 to evaluate the software processes and the automated support provided by EOSDE [25] with respect to their relevance from the point of view of developers. As far as the EOSDE automated support is concerned, 10 organizations have been surveyed regarding developers perception in using this automated support.…”

In recent years, there has been an on‐going demand for better services and functionality in software products; as a consequence many models, techniques, and tools have been developed such as CMMI‐DEV v1.2, TSP, or Scrum. However, software products still suffer from excessive costs, delays in delivery, and low quality. Furthermore, there is a lack of educational material providing high levels of interaction between students and the software industry to learn about how enterprises adopt these models, techniques, and tools into their daily work. This article describes a web‐based Tool (EduSysProVAL) to support a graduate course in collaboration with the local software industry. The main goal of this research is to demonstrate that a Software Engineering course may use the EduSysProVAL tool to improve students' practical and professional skills, thus increasing their participation and effort in improvement initiatives, in comparison to traditional educational approaches which are only based on theory classes. This research uses a four‐category questionnaire and follow‐up interviews to evaluate a satisfactory level of tool effectiveness with undergraduate students and summarizes the industry's positive perceptions about its contribution to the course. © 2013 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.

“…International standards like ISO 12207 [3] and ISO 15504 [4] and software process quality models like CMMI (Capability Maturity Model Integration) [5] were developed aiming to define the requirements of an ideal organization, i.e., a reference model to be used in order to assess the maturity of the organization and their capability to develop software. Based on these standards and models, Brazilian industry and research institutions have worked together during the last two years aiming to define the Reference Model for Brazilian Software Process Improvement (MR-MPS.BR) [6,8,9]. This model has been deployed in many companies in Brazil and official appraisals were already conducted.…”

Abstract. Deployment of software processes based on reference models is a knowledge-intensive task, i.e., a great amount of technical knowledge must be applied in order to guarantee conformance and adherence of processes deployed to the reference models adopted. Moreover, software process deployers have to deal with organizational and individual cultural problems on a regular basis, for instance, resistances to organizational changes. Therefore, the success of software process deployment within an organization or organizational unit depends on both technical and social aspects of the software process deployment strategy definition and execution. This paper presents the Taba Workstation, an enterprise-oriented Process-centered Software Engineering Environment (PSEE) constituted of an integrated set of tools to support software process deployment based on the Capability Maturity Model Integration (CMMI) and the Reference Model for Brazilian Software Process Improvement (MR-MPS.BR). Software process appraisals demonstrated that the Taba Workstation constitutes one of the most important organizational assets to facilitate the success of software process deployment initiatives and to overcome the inherent difficulties.
