Content and Skills for Teaching Software Process Improvement in the Computer Science Course: A Mapping of ACM / IEEE, SBC, SWEBOK, CMMI and MR-MPS-SW Assets

This Research to Practice Full Paper seeks to map the assets of ACM / IEEE, SBC and SWEBOK guide specifically in the knowledge area of Software Process Improvement (SPI) to create a set of contents and competences to be addressed in the classroom, aligned with international and Brazilian references using the good practices of CMMI DEV v2.0 and MR-MPS-SW 2023. The teacher is the main gear for conducting teaching, research, and extension, being responsible for selecting the methods to be used to improve the teaching-learning process. SPI is a set of partially ordered steps with the intention of achieving a goal within the context of software development and involves understanding existing processes and changing them to increase product quality and / or reduce costs and development time. Thus, teaching SPI needs to be addressed in computing courses to meet the wishes of the software industry.
