Towards a Tool Support for a Living Software Development Process

Overview Change and evolution of business and technology imply change and evolution of development processes. Besides that for a certain enterprise or a project it will usually integrate elements from a variety of existing process models, comprising generic standards as well as specific development methods. This paper proposes a process model framework which is modularly structured on the basis of the concept of Process Patterns. This framework allows describing development processes in a way such that change, evolution, and integration of processes are facilitated. This paper discusses and proposes the approaches and requirements to fulfill the user's specific needs of a sophisticated tool support for a Living Software Development Process.
