Titel
Towards an agile development method for software process simulation
Abstract
Process simulation modeling has been used for various purposes in software engineering. To become even more widely used, in particular in industrial environments, an effective and efficient modeling method is required. IMMoS (Integrated Measurement, Modeling, and Simulation) offers such a method. Once a valid software process simulation model has been developed, it is important to maintain the model, i.e., to keep it up-to-date with the current software development process. This requires a simulation modeling process that shortens delivery time and is responsive to changes of the modeled process. One way to achieve this is to make simulation modeling agile. This paper describes our work on enhancing IMMoS to make it an agile method, and by adopting the practices of a suitable agile software development method.
