Software Process Architecture, QFD, SQFD, Software Process ImprovementAbstract
Different Quality Function Deployment (QFD) models have been proposed as a requirements management technique for software industry. Although these models describe the activities and work products of the technique, they don’t detail how to apply QFD in a defined process for a given software production environment. The aim of this paper is to present a method for integrating QFD in a software process architecture based on the Capability Maturity Model Integration for Development (CMMIDEV). Applying this method, the requirements management of process objects was updated according to the procedural elements of QFD.
