Tour de Force: A Software Process Model for Academics

Abstract

Software engineering functions on divergent models. Models play the most significant role in the triumph of a project. Models can be considered as skeleton of the software. The development models are the innumerable processes and methodologies that are being tabbed for development of the project reliant upon the aims and goals of the project. A software process model is a standardized format for planning, running and organizing a development project. Out there exists many software process models for the industry but they fail to apply at academics. While students are in the process of becoming software engineers, it is essential to give them a taste of the professional world and this could be accomplished by facilitating them with a process model applicable for Final Year Project and by ensuring the constant support of Supervisor throughout the project. For fulfilling this need, a customized process model is designed and evaluated. The results of evaluation portray the successful achievement of the goal.
