Abstract

This thesis started from the observation that there is a need among the existing software process models to adapt to the size and scope of the product being developed. Therefore, the thesis proposes the Layered Software Development Framework, which is a software development framework that recasts classical software development models in light of the architectural levels described in Helm's Scalability Model. It describes the development of software as a set of specific development activities limited to individual architectural levels and the interactions between them, rather than as a set of general development activities distributed across all architectural levels. The framework can be tailored to the specific product being developed and practices followed by a development organization. The applicability of the framework is demonstrated on the Key Word In Context case study.
