  2. Dissertation | Stephan Krusche | Rugby - A Process Model

    for Continuous Software Engineering “In reality, software development is a complex, continuous, iterative, and repetitive process” — Carolyn Wong, 1984 2 Defined Process 
 Control Model Empirical Process 
 Control Model “When the process is too complicated for the defined approach, the empirical approach is the appropriate choice” — Babatunde Ogunnaike, 1994 • Entirely planned • Follows strict rules • Treats deviations as
 problems that need 
 to be resolved • Not entirely planned • Inspect and adapt • Treats deviations as 
 opportunities that 
 lead to improvements

  5. Dissertation | Stephan Krusche | Rugby - A Process Model

    for Continuous Software Engineering • Process Model for Continuous Software Engineering that addresses the delay in software projects • Extensible to address the delay in education —> Continuous Education • Frequent event based interactions can reduce difficulty and complexity • Hypotheses: H1) Rugby allows to reduce the delay between development and usage in software projects H2) Rugby allows to reduce the delay between lectures and exercises in education Rugby: a new Process Model 5
  6. Dissertation | Stephan Krusche | Rugby - A Process Model

    for Continuous Software Engineering Continuous Software Engineering • Develop and release small changes to software in fast, parallel cycles 
 in order to obtain user feedback and incrementally improve software [Bosch 2014] • Event based releases allow to reduce the delay between
 development and usage to minutes / hours • Multiple, parallel, small iterations in one Sprint • Each release leads to a potential software increment 6 User Usage Release Feedback Development Adaption
  7. Dissertation | Stephan Krusche | Rugby - A Process Model

    for Continuous Software Engineering Continuous Education • Teach and exercise small content in fast cycles so that students reflect about it immediately and increase their knowledge incrementally • Combine lectures and exercises into an interactive session
 to increase the knowledge retention • Multiple, small iterations in one session • Each exercise leads to a potential knowledge increment 7 Exercise Example Solution Student Reflection Theory
  8. Dissertation | Stephan Krusche | Rugby - A Process Model

    for Continuous Software Engineering Rugby’s Process Meta Model • Rugby is based on a process meta model that treats changes as events in parallel running workflows • Changes can occur at any time in the development process 8
