在规划软件过程改进活动时，确定对软件项目成功影响最大的因素至关重要。在本文中，我们提出了一个基于目标/问题/指标 (GQM) 范式的用于评估软件过程因素的调查和分析框架。我们构建了软件流程、缺陷和成本的描述性模型。这些模型被用作研究中定量分析的共同基础。我们还开发了评估模型，阐明基本指标、分析方法和分析目标之间的关系。我们通过将分析框架应用到日本松下通信工业公司的实际开发环境中，研究了四个通信软件项目，证实了分析框架的实用性。本文报告了我们在数据中注意到的模式，并根据这些发现建议了流程改进活动。
In planning software process improvement activities, it is essential to determine the factors that most influence the success of a software project. In this article, we present an investigative and analytical framework for evaluating software process factors based on the Goal/Question/Metric (GQM) paradigm. We built descriptive models of the software process, defects, and cost. These models were used as a common basis of quantitative analysis in the study. We also developed evaluative models that clarify the relationship between the basic metrics, the analysis method, and the goals of the analysis. We confirmed the usefulness of our analytical framework, by applying it in an actual development environment at Matsushita Communication Industrial Company in Japan, where we studied four communications-software projects. This article reports the patterns we noted in the data and suggests process improvement activities based on those findings.
