Process Documentation Standardization: An Initial Evaluation

Massimo Cossentino, Alma Gómez-Rodríguez, Juan Carlos González-Moreno, Ambra Molesini, Andrea Omicini

The creation of new ad-hoc methodologies through the Situational Method Engineering needs the process fragments to be defined and available. That means it is necessary to previously define and extract such fragments from the global development process. So, it is important to provide the means of documenting the whole process from which fragments will be obtained. This paper presents an experimental evaluation of the methodologies documentation template proposed by the IEEE FIPA Design Process Documentation and Fragmentation working group. The template will be used for documenting three different agent-oriented methodologies in order to evaluate the template's strengths and weakness.
