Abstract

Currently, information systems are mainly built by integrating or customizing commercial off-the-shelf (COTS) components acquired or licensed from the marketplace. The processes necessary to steer a suitable acquisition are different from traditional software development processes. Among them, we are interested in the process of selection of COTS components. COTS selection requires discipline to coordinate the selection team and the set of new activities that are necessary to support a successful selection. The Capability Maturity Model (CMM) contains important guidelines for process improvement, and specifies "what" we must have into account to achieve the disciplined processes (among others things). On the other hand, agile methods are playing nowadays an important role in software engineering practices, because they are specifying "how" the software practices must be addressed to attain agility and improvement in the software processes. The contribution of this work is to propose a framework to reconcile agile and discipline-based approaches in the COTS selection domain, by including agile practices into the 5 levels of CMMI for COTS acquisition

协调COTS选择过程中的敏捷性和纪律性

目前，信息系统主要是通过集成或定制从市场获得或许可的商业现货(COTS)组件来构建的。引导合适的收购所需的过程不同于传统的软件开发过程。其中，我们感兴趣的是COTS组件的选择过程。COTS选择需要规程来协调选择团队和支持成功选择所必需的一组新活动。能力成熟度模型(Capability Maturity Model, CMM)包含了过程改进的重要指导方针，并指定了我们必须考虑的“什么”来实现规范的过程(以及其他事情)。另一方面，敏捷方法如今在软件工程实践中扮演着重要的角色，因为它们规定了软件实践必须“如何”处理才能在软件过程中获得敏捷性和改进。这项工作的贡献是提出了一个框架，通过将敏捷实践纳入COTS获取的CMMI的5个级别，来协调COTS选择领域中的敏捷方法和基于规程的方法
