Features: With the development and maturity of the software engineering profession, the Personal Software Process (PSP) has gained widespread recognition and practical application. This book systematically describes the Personal Software Process (PSP) and explains the practices and methods for delivering high-quality products on predictable schedules. Readers will learn the specific contents of a standardized software engineering process. The book introduces the PSP method in a step-by-step manner through 14 chapters. Chapter 1 describes the overall principles and introduction strategy of PSP. Chapters 2 and 3 explain how to follow a defined process and how to collect and use data for managing software development tasks. Chapters 4 to 7 cover estimation and planning. Chapters 8 to 12 elaborate on quality management and design. Chapter 13 describes how to apply the PSP method to various tasks. Chapter 14 explains how to apply the PSP method to the TSP process, as well as how TSP guides PSP-trained software engineers to use these methods in a project. This book is highly practical and readable, making it suitable as a textbook for computer software engineering courses in higher education institutions. It can also serve as a self-study guide for engineering professionals learning the Personal Software Process. Additionally, it is an important reference for software process improvement and SW-CMM (Software Process Capability Maturity Model) assessment. As a study guide for the SEI's PSP Body of Knowledge (BOK), this book provides essential assistance for mastering the PSP knowledge base. It is also suitable for software process improvement personnel, software development project managers, and programmers to read and reference.
