	Software Development Process
		For experienced software developers, the component-level process is often less conspicuous, involving well-established and automated patterns of thinking.
		As software developers work through a disciplined process, they are developing a complex mental roadmap of the values of the client, the concepts that are important to the client, software patterns for achieving the desired behavior, and implementation methods.
		Software development firms will often impose a more stringent process than is needed to just get the job done.

	Software Development Methodology: Development Process
		Sometimes the development process is referred to as a “spiral”, where the spiral’s circular aspect is the repetition of the steps of the development process and its vertical aspect is progress toward completion of the software application.
		The goal of risk-analysis is to eliminate as many of these unknown factors as early in the development process as possible in order to avoid the waste of time and resources on efforts that are ultimately unsuccessful or ineffective.
		Each developer is responsible for effective unit-testing of his/her components and for initial integrated testing of the component when it is added to the running core application.

	State-Based Software Development Process (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-21)
		The State-Based Process: The process was enacted within the framework of an evolutionary, incremental approach derived from the Ada Process Model and the Cleanroom methodology.
		Some of the objectives that drove our approach to this process definition were to tie the management process directly to the technical process; fuse OO and Cleanroom methodologies; maximize the use of inspections and state-of-the-art process methodology; and emphasize simplicity in all aspects of the definition and enactment.
		Metrics are collected throughout the process to capture the return on investment in terms of the resources required to conduct the walk- throughs and the number of defects uncovered.

	Software Development Life Cycle (SDLC), Process & Business Models
		As software is always of a large system (or business), work begins by establishing requirements for all system elements and then allocating some subset of these requirements to software.
		In this phase, the software development process, the software's overall structure and its nuances are defined.
		The RAD software model is a "high speed" adaptation of the linear sequential model in which rapid development is achieved by using a component-based construction approach.

	Software development and process panel at ECOOP 1998 - AC
		The software development process, as actually performed, is so complex that we cannot write it down accurately, and if we could, no one could read that description and learn to perform it.
		This means that the challenge of software development is to provide a large freedom of movement to individuals, and to set into place certain "pinch-points", where control happens.
		Deliverables in the development process inform by acting as reminders of things the reader already knows.

	Software Development Process Assessments Results - CMM
		In the changing software engineering industry, training is needed to keep pace with the release of new tools and techniques, to get the right skills to handle promotions in the project management track or simply to get the most out of the new release of a software development environment.
		This affirmation is based on software process evaluations performed in recent years with 63 medium to large software development units, mainly in Europe and North America.
		As we see on the first chart, organisations giving less than 1 week of training each year to their software developers achieve a quality level that is only half of the level achieved by organisations that give their software developer more than two weeks of training.

	Unified Software Development Process (Addison-Wesley Object Technology Series)
		The process builder has to adapt the process to today's realities--the facts of virtual organization; working at a distance through high-speed lines; the mix of partial owners (in small start-ups), salaried employees, contract workers, and outsourcing subcontractors; and the continuing shortage of software developers.
		Development of the Objectory process proceeded in a series of releases, from Objectory 1.0 in 1988 to the first on-line version, Objectory 3.8, in 1995 (an overview of Objectory is presented in [2]).
		The process was also expanded with a new workflow for business modeling, based on [3], that is used to derive requirements from the business processes the software was to serve.

	Personal Software Process Summary
		The software tools that form the PSP are varied and are intended to enhance a software designers abilities in accurately predicting the time required to produce a product of stellar quality, to seek ways to improve the quality of the software being designed, and to improve their ability to evaluate technologies and methods.
		Because much of the research and development cost of software is directly related to personnel costs, the experience, skills, and work habits of engineers mainly determine the results of the software development process.
		Because software engineers are generally not taught to plan and track processes, and to measure quality, they usually do not record their work, and rarely measure software quality.
