Abstract
Process tailoring is to make, alter, or adapt a process description for a particular end. Process tailoring is not a simple work because of the following difficulties. First, it should generate a project-specific software process each time that is executed, second, it can be considered as a reuse activity of the standard software process, third, it needs various experiences and involves an intimate knowledge of several aspects of software engineering. To resolve these difficulties, we proposed a software research and development (R&D) process framework that can make, alter, or adapt efficiently software process that will be applied to certain software projects by reusing software process assets constructed. We expect that R&D project tailors can efficiently establish software processes to apply reusable legacy software process assets to specific projects through the proposed process framework for process tailoring. If they make, alter, or adapt their own software processes founded on the proposed process framework, they can have an effect on reducing their efforts to reapplying software processes.
