Software Engineering Template (SET)

Implementing software engineering best practices is desirable for any software development or maintenance organization regardless of its size. However, small organizations often do not have the financial and human resources required to automate a process like the IBM Rational Unified Process (RUP) using sophisticated software engineering tools. Hence, small organizations often rely on standard office automation tools like the Microsoft Office suite. It is exactly for these types of organizations that the Software Engineering Template (SET) was created.

Key Benefits

  • Set of software engineering templates for Microsoft Office tools: Microsoft Excel and Microsoft FrontPage
  • Provides a convenient way to implement a software development process like the IBM Rational Unified Process (RUP) without having to invest in sophisticated software engineering tools
  • Provides out-of-the-box templates for the following disciplines of the RUP: Business Modeling, Requirements, Analysis & Design, Test, Project Management, and Configuration & Change Management
  • Can be tailored to the specific needs of any software organization using any software development process
  • Ideal for small software development and maintenance teams
