Project LEAP: Lightweight, Empirical, Anti-Measurement Dysfuntion, and Portable Software Developer Improvement

9804010 Project LEAP调查了轻量级、经验性、反度量功能障碍和可移植方法在软件开发人员改进中的使用。轻量级方法涉及最少的过程约束，相对容易学习，易于与现有方法和工具集成，并且只需要最少的管理投资和承诺。经验方法支持能够提高软件开发人员技能的度量。度量功能障碍指的是对程序员使用度量的可能性，因此该方法必须注意以“安全”的方式收集和操作度量。可移植方法是指开发人员在其职业生涯中可以跨项目、跨组织、跨公司应用的方法。项目LEAP通过为过程数据输入和分析创建符合LEAP标准的工具集和方法来评估这种方法的优点和缺点。该工具集和方法将在多个行业现场进行实验评估，并用于探索该工具包对个人软件过程收集的经验数据质量的影响。将使用该工具集部署经验软件工程远程教育的基于Web的材料。*

9804010 Project LEAP investigates the use of lightweight, empirical, anti-measurement dysfunction, and portable approaches to software developer improvement. A lightweight method involves a minimum of process constraints, is relatively easy to learn, is amenable to integration with existing methods and tools, and requires only minimal management investment and commitment. An empirical method supports measurements that can lead to improvements in the software developers skill. Measurement dysfunction refers to the possibility of measurements being used against the programmer, so the method must take care to collect and manipulate measurements in a ``safe'' manner. A portable method is one that can be applied by the developer across projects, organizations, and companies during her career. Project LEAP evaluates the strengths and weaknesses of this approach by creating a LEAP-compliant toolset and method for process data entry and analysis. The toolset and method will be experimentally evaluated at a number of industry sites, and used to explore the effects of the toolkit on the quality of empirical data collected by the Personal Software Process. Web- based materials for distance-based education on empirical software engineering will be deployed using the toolset.***
