The RMT (Recursive Multi-threaded) Tool: A Computer Adied Software Engineering Tool for monitoring and Predicting Software Development Prgoress

摘要

A number of software life-cycles for object-oriented software development (Fountain Model, Recursive/Parallel Model, McGregor &Sykes Model, and Chaos Model Life Cycle) exist today. However, these existing life-cycles have little or no support for estimating and monitoring progress during the development of the software. The ability to measure progress during the development is significant because it allows both the managers and the developers to determine whether a project is on schedule or not. Identifying that a project is behind schedule allows managers and developers to notify appropriate individuals of any scheduling and/or budgetary impacts at an early stage during the development and to determine appropriate course of action.
