MPS.BR: Promoting the adoption of best software engineering practices by the Brazilian industry [MPS.BR: Promovendo a adoção de boas práticas de engenharia de software pela indústria Brasileira] [pdf]Author version  abstract   bibtex   
The MPS model has been developed in the context of the MPS.BR Program in order to address the business needs of the Brazilian software industry. In this paper we present the current version of the MPS model, quantitative results of its adoption, and qualitative performance results obtained by software organizations that adopted the model, gathered through an experimental strategy based on surveys applied during two consecutive years. The quantitative results (174 organizations appraised until September 2009) point to an increasing adoption of the MPS model by Brazilian software organizations and to its capacity in promoting good software engineering practices. The qualitative results, on the other hand, show an increase of customer satisfaction and productivity, and capacity to deal with bigger projects for organizations that adopted the MPS model. © 2010 by CIbSE 2010.
