Software Development Process Improvement Framework (SDPIF) for Small Software Development Firms (SSDFs)

Most of the software development organizations all over the world are Small Software Development Firms (SSDFs).These firms have realized that it is necessary to organize and improve their software development and management activities. Traditional software process improvement (SPI) models and stand...
