Process Framework Activities

Software Process Framework
Framework is a Standard way to build and deploy applications. Software

Process Framework is a foundation of complete software engineering process.
Software process framework includes all set of umbrella activities. It also
includes number of framework activities that are applicable to all software
projects.
A generic process framework encompasses five activities which are given below
one by one:
1. Communication:
In this activity, heavy communication with customers and other stakeholders,
requirement gathering is done.
2. Planning:
In this activity, we discuss the technical related tasks, work schedule, risks,
required resources etc.
3. Modeling:
Modelling is about building representations of things in the ‘real world’.In
modelling activity, a product’s model is created in order to better
understanding and requirements.
4. Construction:
In software engineering, construction is the application of set of procedures
that are needed to assemble the product. In this activity, we generate the
code and test the product in order to make better product.
5. Deployment:
In this activity, a complete or non-complete products or software are
represented to the customers to evaluate and give feedback. on the basis of
their feedback we modify the products for supply better product.
Umbrella activities include:
• Risk management
• Software quality assurance(SQA)
• Software configuration management(SCM)
• Measurement
• Formal technical reviews(FTR)
Umbrella Activities:
Software engineering is a collection of co-related steps. These steps are presented or accessed
in different approaches in different software process models. Umbrella activities are a set of steps
or procedure that the software engineering team follows to maintain the progress, quality, change
and risks of the overall development tasks. These steps of umbrella activities will evolve through
the phases of generic view of software development.
Umbrella Activities are as follows:
1. Software Project Tracking and Control

2. Formal Technical Reviews
3. Software Quality Assurance
4. Software Configuration Management
5. Document Preparation and Production
6. Re-usability Management
7. Measurement and Metrics
8. Risk Management
Software Project Tracking and Control:

Before the actual development begins, a schedule for developing the software is created. Based
on that schedule the development will be done. However, after a certain period of time it is
required to review the progress of the development to find out actions which are in need to be
taken to complete the development, testing etc. in time. The outcome of the review might require
the development to be rescheduled.
Formal Technical Reviews:

Software engineering is done in clusters or modules, after completing each module, it is good
practice to review the completed module to find out and remove errors so their propagation to the
next module can be prevented.
Software Quality Assurance:

The quality of the software such user experience, performance, load handling capacity etc.
should be tested and confirmed after reaching predefined milestones. This reduces the task at
the end of the development process. It should be conducted by dedicated teams so that the
development can keep going on.
Software Configuration Management:

Software configuration management (SCM) is a set of activities designed to control change by
identifying the work products that are likely to change, establishing relationships among them,
defining mechanisms for managing different versions of these work products.
Document preparation and production:

All the project planning and other activities should be hardly copied and the production get started
here.
Re-usability Management:
This includes the backing up of each part of the software project they can be corrected or any
kind of support can be given to them later to update or upgrade the software at user/time demand.
Measurement & Metrics:
This will include all the measurement of every aspects of the software project.
Risk Management:
Risk management is a series of steps that help a software team to understand and manage
uncertainty. It’s a really good idea to identify it, assess its probability of occurrence, estimate its
impact, and establish a contingency plan that─ ‘should the problem actually occur’.
