Abstract
We propose the use of fine-grain process modelling as an aid to software development. We suggest the use of two levels of granularity, one at the level of the individual developer and another at the level of the representation scheme used by that developer. The advantages of modelling the software development process at these two levels, we argue, include respectively: the production of models that better reflect actual development processes because they are oriented towards the actors who enact them; and models that are vehicles for providing guidance because they may be expressed in terms of the actual representation schemes employed by those actors. We suggest that the previously published approach (A. Finkelstein et al., 1990; 1992) of using multiple "ViewPoints" to model software development participants, the perspectives that they hold, the representation schemes that they deploy and the process models that they maintain, is one way of supporting the fine-grain modelling we advocate. We point to some simple, tool-based experiments we have performed that support this proposition.<>
我们建议使用细粒度过程建模来辅助软件开发。我们建议使用两个粒度级别,一个在开发人员个人级别,另一个在开发人员使用的表示方案级别。我们认为,在这两个层次上对软件开发过程进行建模的优点分别包括:模型的产生更好地反映了实际的开发过程,因为它们面向制定它们的参与者;模型是提供指导的工具因为它们可以用这些参与者使用的实际代表方案来表达。我们建议之前发表的方法(A. Finkelstein et al., 1990;1992)使用多个“视点”来建模软件开发参与者,他们持有的透视图,他们部署的表示方案和他们维护的过程模型,是支持我们提倡的细粒度建模的一种方法。我们提出了一些简单的、基于工具的实验来支持这一观点。
