Abstract

This chapter discusses a comprehensive analysis model of the concurrent software industry which is a collection of different sub-models interacting and communicating objectively with a cause-effect relationship. This model is not merely process centric but it also deals with the resources, skills and methods with an entity model which forms an important factor of the comprehensive approach. Process is considered as an activity performed over the resources with a particular level of skill set transforming the input. In this comprehensive model, the factors associated with various sub models like process, technology, business, risk and multi domain are considered and integrated through communication links, threading all the models in transforming the system specification into the product within the cycle time with an active cost. The final model will be able to accept a spectrum of input from the industry, ranging from finances, human resources, business practices, technology and software production process and come out with metrics correlated to the observables of that particular company or group.
