Process performance model for predicting Delivered Defect Density in a software scrum project

Journal Title: IOSR Journals (IOSR Journal of Computer Engineering) - Year 2016, Vol 18, Issue 5

Abstract

Abstract: Agile scrum projects are gaining popularity for software development and delivery, due to its inherent attributes of flexibility in execution and quicker time to market. However, the critics of Agile have been raising questions on the predictability of success of Agile execution as the emphasis given to quantitative managementusing predictive techniques for an Agile project may not be to the extent of large mission critical projects which uses in-process leading indicators to predict outcomes. One possible solution to this challenge is to use the best practices from industry adopted models like the Capability Maturity Model Integration® for planning and managing Agile software delivery. In this paper, we present a study were a prediction model was developed for use in Agile projects for systematic in-process monitoring and decision making. The purpose of this paper is to propose a predictive model as a driver for continuous improvement of Delivered Defect Density in the context ofa Scrum project.Our findings show that using the prediction model, the success of Agile project could be forecasted and controlled during its planning and execution phases as against waiting for the final release to determine success of delivery.
