Abstract

Have you ever tried to specify an accurate development process for your organization and later faced difficulties with the complexity of the description? Instead of describing a specific process, it might help to describe a process framework and reuse it by creating specific processes for specific needs. This paper describes the object-oriented framework of a development process, which considers software development artifacts as objects and evolution as collaborations between the objects. Such an object-oriented process definition can deal with the complexity of a development process in a better way than a traditional description based on workflow. This paper discusses features of such a process framework with an eye towards approaches such as Fusion, OPEN and the Rational Unified Process.
