A Computer Aided Tool for Software Managers.
Abstract
The majority of Air Force software development projects are mission critical and usually extremely complex, thus requiring careful management. However, the projects are difficult to efficiently manage due to the abundance of DOD documents governing software development, the DOD effort to standardize regulations for all services, and the lack of adequate tailoring guidelines. Research was conducted to determine the type of government document and tailoring information useful to a software project manager. Based on the research, a prototype was developed to provide the software manager with information about government documents governing software development. The prototype will provide the information based on the type of project, a given subject of area of interest, and on specific documents. The prototype will also provide tailoring information for the first two steps identified in DOD-HDBK-287. The prototype demonstrated the feasibility of developing a computer tool to assist the software project manager. This serves as a baseline for future research to determine the feasibility of automating the final two steps in the tailoring process. (Theses).
