    An Investigation of Software Development Process Terminology

    The practice of software development has evolved considerably in recent decades, with new programming technologies, the affordability of hardware, pervasive internet access and mobile computing all contributing to the emergence of new software development processes. The newer process initiatives, which include those which are sometimes referred to as agile or lean methods, have brought with them new terms, which sometimes reflect the introduction of novel concepts. Other times, new terms correspond to long established concepts that have been repackaged. The net position is that we have a proliferation of language and term usage in the software development process domain, a problem which has implications for assessors and assessment frameworks, and for the broader community. In this paper, we explore this problem, finding that it is worthy of further research. Plus, we identify a technique suited to addressing this concern: the establishment of a canonical software process ontological model.

    Refactoring Software Development Process Terminology Through the Use of Ontology
    (Springer - Verlag, 2016) Clarke, Paul; Mesquida Calafat, Antoni Lluis; Ekert, Damjan; Ekstrom, Joseph J.; Gornostaja, Tatjana; Jovanovic, Milos; Johansen, Jorn; Mas, Antonia; Messnarz, Richard; Villar, Blanca Najera; O'Connor, Alexander; O'Connor, Rory V.; Reiner, Michael; Sauberer, Gabriele; Schmitz, Klaus-Dirk; Yılmaz, Murat
    In work that is ongoing, the authors are examining the extent of software development process terminology drift. Initial findings suggest there is a degree of term confusion, with the mapping of concepts to terms lacking precision in some instances. Ontologies are concerned with identifying the concepts of relevance to a field of endeavour and mapping those concepts to terms such that term confusion is reduced. In this paper, we discuss how ontologies are developed. We also identify various sources of software process terminology. Our work to date indicates that the systematic development of a software development process ontology would be of benefit to the entire software development community. The development of such an ontology would in effect represent a systematic refactoring of the terminology and concepts produced over four decades of software process innovation.
