Abstract
A crucial problem in modern software engineering is maturity assessment of organizations developing software. We propose utilizing a process model of RUP development methodology, as a pattern for comparing it with the examined process. Percent values of accordance coefficient determine the task accordance of the examined process with the pattern of activities flow. The above mentioned RUP model concept is based on a multi-agent based simulation (MABS). It presents goals and behaviors of agents as well as components of the agent system environment. To confirm the usefulness of the method for assessment of organization’s maturity, a two-fold experiment was undertaken. The results confirm the usefulness of the model in maturity assessment. First part consisted of tuning the simulation internal parameters to the development process. In the second part accordance coefficient values of the sample project were obtained by comparing it with the results of the simulated model.
