Seminar in Software Process - 9 units 17-690
Seminar in Software Process is offered in Spring semesters.
The Seminar in Software Process course is a self-study and discussion course. Students will begin with a discussion of the Capability Maturity Model (CMM) for Software and go from there in directed readings.
The focus of the seminar is on systematic approaches to doing software development and maintenance better. Other approaches to process and quality management that are discussed include Total Quality Management, Malcolm Baldrige Award, ISO 9001, ISO 15504 (SPICE), and others, but the course is primarily structured around the material contained in the CMM. Specific topics that are covered included software project management, configuration management, quality assurance, process definition, training, peer reviews, team-building, change management, and statistical process control.
