Riassunto

"[The authors] have done an excellent job of bringing forth the power and the flexibility of this most useful framework in an easy to read and understand introduction. Although it has been written to be an introductory text in Opf, I found [it] also readily useable as a handbook for initial process definition, an accessible treatment of important issues in software process design, and a textbook in Opf." Houman Younessi Associate Professor of Computer Science, Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute The Open Process Framework provides a template for generating flexible, yet disciplined, processes for developing highquality software and system applications within a predictable schedule and budget. Using this framework as a starting point, you can create and tailor a process to meet the specific needs of the project.

The OPEN Process Framework: An Introduction

Donald Firesmith & Brian Henderson-Sellers

The OPEN Process Framework provides a template for generating flexible, yet disciplined, processes for developing high-quality software and system applications within a predictable schedule and budget. Using this framework as a starting point, you can create and tailor a process to meet the specific needs of the project.

If you are a project manager, process engineer or developer evaluating or thinking of adopting the OPEN Process Framework, this book is for you.

You will:

• Learn what the OPEN Process Framework is and how its use differs from specific development methods
• Master the basic concepts of the OPEN Process Framework and understand their structure and interrelationships
• Learn how to instantiate the OPEN Process Framework to construct a process that meets the needs of specific projects and organizations

 

 

"Are you involved with software development, requirements engineering, design, or domain modeling? Then you’ve used and no doubt modified a software engineering process. At last there’s a book with a comprehensive approach to creating S.E. processes. The OPEN Process Framework is a modern, object-oriented approach for creating and tuning a process perfectly suited to your particular job. This book lays out the whole OPF framework in a thorough, authoritative, and accessible way. I’ve been waiting for a book like this for a long time. Highly recommended!"

Principal Systems Engineer, Mitretek Systems
