This document provides an executive summary of the Cleanroom Software Process Case Study. It can be used to understand the purpose of the case study and its relationship to other IBM STARS Software Process Case Study activities and artifacts. This Case Study was conceived of as an approach to study, in a controlled manner, the implementation of a software process model. The Case Study had two phases planned, namely: (1) The specification and implementation of the Cleanroom Engineering Process Assistant (CEPA) prototype system to support a portion of the Cleanroom Engineering Software Development Process; and (2) The validation of the CEPA prototype system through its use, by developing a well-known computer science problem, referred to as the Host-at-Sea Buoy problem specified in the Naval Research Laboratory's 1981 Software Engineering Principles Workshop handout.

The Cleanroom Software Process Case Study Problem describes the problem selected for evaluating software process enactment capabilities required of IBM STARS Task IS15. This document selects a portion of the process defined in The Cleanroom Engineering Software Development Process (IBM CDRL 7001-001) for use in planning the implementation of a well-defined process, in support of IBM's evaluation of the process enactment support tool, the Knowledge-based Integration Shell (KI Shell). The Cleanroom Software Process Case Study problem also provides the Host-at-Sea Buoy Problem, specified in box structure notation, for use in testing the implemented software processes. This document provides a comparison of the Cleanroom Software Process Case Study problem with the criteria established for examining process aspects, described in the paper entitled Comparisons of Software Process Descriptions, by Mark Kellner and Dieter Rombach, published in the Proceedings of the 6th International Software Process Workshop: Support for the Software Process.

This document describes the tools and technology examined on STARS task IS15. This report summarizes the IBM team's examination of software process representation tools and techniques. It also summarizes the examination of software process enactment tools, and techniques for implementing a process system from a well-defined system of processes such as the "Cleanroom Engineering Software Development Process". The software process definition tools and techniques sections of the document: (1) examines the feasibility of porting the Software Process Management System (SPMS) from the Apple Macintosh to the IBM STARS SEE, (2) provides a SPMS Port plan and (3) discusses the use of box structures as a notation for recording aspects of software processes. The software process enactment tools and techniques sections of the document: (1) describes the KI Shell tool selected for supporting the IBM STARS Cleanroom Software Process Case Study, (2) describes the specification, design and implementation of the Cleanroom Engineering Process Assistant prototype, and (3) provides lessons learned from performing the Cleanroom Software Process Case Study. Finally the document makes recommendations for the selection of software process definition and enactment support capabilities for the IBM STARS SEE.

This document provides the results of an evaluation of the levels of conformance of the Cleanroom Software Engineering (C SE) process with the Capability Maturity Model (SW-CMM) for Software, vl. 1, Goals. The Goals for each SW-CMM level and KPA are listed and the level of conformance is indicated as outlined in the following descriptions: High - CSE addresses the goal to a very high degree. Medium - CSE addresses the goal to a partial degree. Low - CSE addresses the goal in a very minimal fashion. None - CSE does not address the goal to any degree.

The purpose of this document is to identify the documents prepared on STARS Task IS-15 and provide a brief abstract for each. The Cleanroom Software Process Case Study was conducted to support the meaningful evaluation of the process, tools and techniques for taking a well-defined process and implementing it. The Cleanroom Software Process Case Study problem also provides the Host at Sea Buoy Problem, specified in box structure notation, for use in testing the implemented software processes.

STARS Task IA09 was conceived to examine the potential complementary nature of the Cleanroom Engineering software and a representative set of the popular object-oriented methods being used to specify, design and develop software systems. Both methods of software development support the software concepts of abstraction, encapsulation, modularity and hierarchy. However, object-orientation as practiced over the past few years has produced mixed results, whereas Cleanroom has a significant track record of producting highly reliable systems, with extremely low after-delivery defect rates. The study was based on the assumptions that (1) object-oriented methods support domain-specific architecture-based reuse, (2) Cleanroom software development emphasizes process-driven software development, and (3) object-oriented and Cleanroom ideas are both complementary and compatible. The purpose of this paper is to (1) discuss why object-oriented and Cleanroom software engineering techniques should be integrated, (2) outline the generic process for object-oriented software development that was derived on STARS Task IAO9, and comment on relevant aspects of the mapping from the studied methods to each generic process activity, and (3) discuss the shared leveraging of Cleanroom and object-oriented techniques, and how the integration of these techniques might be leveraged to produce software of greater reliability and reusability.
