[2]  An experiment measuring the effects of personal software process (PSP) training
Authors: Prechelt, L.; Unger, B.

[3]  Critical factors affecting personal software processes
Authors: Zhong, X.; Madhavji, N.H.; El Emam, K.
Reference: IEEE Software , Volume: 17 Issue: 6
Page(s): 76-83
Date/Year: Nov.-Dec. 2000
Although encouraging, previous studies treated the Personal Software Process approach as a black-box tool for personal process improvement. We dig deeper into the factors affecting personal processes. It is concluded that A/FR (appraisal to failure ratio) and Yield (percentage of defects removed before first compile) are two critical factors affecting personal software processes

[4]  The personal software process: status and trends

[5]  A case study of open source software development: the Apache server
Authors: Mockus, A.; Fielding, R.T.; Herbsleb, J.
Reference: Software Engineering, 2000. Proceedings of the 2000 International Conference on
Page(s): 263-272
Date/Year: 2000
According to its proponents, open source style software development has the capacity to compete successfully, and perhaps in many cases displace, traditional commercial development methods. In order to begin investigating such claims, we examine the development process of a major open source application, the Apache web server.

[6]  Evolution in open source software: a case study
Authors: Godfrey, M.W.; Qiang Tu
Reference: Software Maintenance, 2000. Proceedings. International Conference on
Page(s): 131-142
Date/Year: 2000
The paper summarizes our preliminary investigations into the evolution of the best known open source system: the Linux operating system kernel.

[7]  From VSC attributes and characteristics to SCM challenges
Authors: Rahikkala, T.; Seppanen, V.
Reference: Euromicro Conference, 2000. Proceedings of the 26th , Volume: 2
Page(s): 308-316 vol.2
Date/Year: 2000
The paper describes a SCM process analysis conducted in three virtual software production organisations. One of the main results that is presented is a framework for practical SCM process improvement, consisting of SCM challenges defined on the basis of key VSC characteristics and attributes.

[8]  A Critical Analysis of PSP Data Quality: Results from a Case Study
Authors: Philip M. Johnson
Reference: Empirical Software Engineering 4(4)
Page(s): 317-349
Date/Year: Dec 1999
However, our experience using PSP led us to question the quality of data both during collection and its later analysis. We hypothesized that data quality problems can make a significant impact upon the value of PSP measures—significant enough to lead to incorrect conclusions regarding process improvement. To test this hypothesis, we built a tool to automate the PSP and then examined 89 projects completed by ten subjects using the PSP manually in an educational setting.

[9]  Cost-effective analysis of in-place software processes
Authors: Cook, J.E.; Votta, L.G.; Wolf, A.L.
Reference: Software Engineering, IEEE Transactions on , Volume: 24 Issue: 8
Page(s): 650-663
Date/Year: Aug. 1998
We present a case study that analyzes an in-place industrial process and takes advantage of existing data sources. In doing this, we also illustrate and propose a methodology for such exploratory empirical studies. The case study makes use of several readily-available repositories of process data in the industrial organization.

[10]  Software reliability modeling: an approach to early reliability prediction
Authors: Smidts, C.; Stutzke, M.; Stoddard, R.W.
Reference: Reliability, IEEE Transactions on , Volume: 47 Issue: 3 Part: 1
Page(s): 268-278
Date/Year: Sept. 1998
This paper presents an approach to predicting software reliability based on a systematic identification of software process failure modes and their likelihoods.

[11]  A metric suite for a team PSP
Authors: Escala, D.; Morisio, M.
Reference: Software Metrics Symposium, 1998. Metrics 1998. Proceedings. Fifth International
Page(s): 89-92
Date/Year: 1998
We have modified the PSP to be used in a consistent way by a team, introducing the personal and the team level and defining their interactions. This paper presents the team PSP as far as the metrics and the tool are concerned.

[12]  A survey on the Software Maintenance Process
Authors: Sousa, M.J.C.; Moreira, H.M.
Reference: Software Maintenance, 1998. Proceedings., International Conference on
Page(s): 265-274
Date/Year: 1998
This research paper presents the results of a field survey for the characterisation of Software Maintenance Process in Portugal. It was concluded that the three biggest problems related to the Software Maintenance Process are: the lack of software maintenance process models, the lack of documentation of applications and the lack of time to satisfy the requests.

[13]  Results of applying the Personal Software Process
Authors: Ferguson, P.; Humphrey, W.S.; Khajenoori, S.; Macke, S.; Matvya, A.
Reference: Computer , Volume: 30 Issue: 5
Page(s): 24-31
Date/Year: May 1997
The value of PSP has been shown in three case studies-three industrial software groups have used PSP and have collected data to show its effectiveness. They are: Advanced Information Services, Inc., Motorola Paging Products Group, and Union Switch and Signal Inc.

[14]  A develop, subcontract or buy process for sourcing software
Authors: Gardiner, G.; Rushton, P.
Reference: Innovation in Technology Management-The Key to Global Leadership. PICMET '97: Portland International Conference on Management and Technology
Page(s): 158-161
Date/Year: 1997
A study in a telecommunications company revealed its current ad-hoc process, and enabled the creation of a new tactical make-or-buy process for software.

[15]  Implementing concepts from the Personal Software Process in an industrial setting
Authors: El Emam, K.; Shostak, B.; Madhavji, N.H.
Reference: Software Process, 1996. Proceedings., Fourth International Conference on the
Page(s): 117-130
Date/Year: 1996
The empirical enquiry method that we employed was action research. Our results identify the problems that were encountered during the four major activities of an implementation of PSP: planning, training, evaluation, and leveraging. We describe how these problems were addressed, and the general lessons learned from the implementation.
