Practice Section

In their own ways, both I S 0 9001 and the Capability Maturity Model (CMM) have provided guidance and urgency to the improvement of software processes. However, there is a point where each calls for sfatistical analysis of the performance of the processes in use, treating software development as a manufacturing activity. This paper argues that this is an unhelpful demand that should be reconsidered by the writers of standards. 0 1996 by John Wiley &
