ABSTRACT
During the last decades several trends have been recognized. An important one is the success of agile development methods. Another one is the increased importance of modeling. Specification languages like UML, BPMN or S-BPM gained a lot of attention and are applied in most projects currently. Additionally, a shifting focus from Technology-Driven Design to Human-Centered Design can be recognized. The paper discusses the existing idea of Continuous Software Engineering that extends traditional software engineering methods by business-administration approaches. It provides the idea of including maintenance into the life-cycle development. Business strategies and software development have to be integrated and have to be supported as a continuous process.
Based on the analysis of the literature an even broader view of Continuous Software Engineering is provided. It includes now Business-Process Modeling and Human-Centered Design.
