软件过程指的是软件生命周期中的一系列相关过程,并且提供了一个框架来组织软件开发活动中不同的元素.软件开发的产品(程序、文档、数据)是作为软件过程定义的活动的结果.过程技术扮演日益重要的角色,而可重用性和可适应性成为其广泛应用的主要障碍.提出过程继承来解决这2个问题,讨论了什么是过程继承,以及用过程描述语言SPDL来描述过程继承.
Software processes denote a set of interrelated processes in the software life cycle and provide a frame to organize the different factors and issues related to software development activities. The software development' s work products (programs, documentation and data) are produced as consequences of the activities defined by the software processes. Process technologies play an increasingly important role. The major obstacles to their massive deployment include reusability and adaptability. It is addressed the two crucial problems with one solution:process inheritance. It is discussed what process inheritance is. The ideas and mechanisms are implemented in a process description language named SPDL.
