Abstract:

Software process modeling has evolved fast during the past few years. New dedicated modeling standards and process-based tools have been introduced. Emerging trends of the process modeling could bring even more radical changes. These changes have affected the work of common software industry practitioners. Results of a qualitative survey, which was conducted amongst Finnish software practitioners, are presented in this paper. The goal of the survey was to map the attitudes of the practitioners towards the use of software methodologies and software process modeling in their own work. In addition the practitioners provide expert analysis on the emerging modeling trends. The answers of the practitioners are analyzed in this paper and conclusions are given on how the practitioners see the current state and the near future of the software process modeling.
