Abstract

Computer software and the software development process belong to the class of complex systems. As a consequence software development process can be analysed by techniques and concepts used in the chaos theory. It is the aim of this paper to present how we can use the chaos theory (in particular the Logistic map concept) to identify the state of the software development process.
