Abstract

Software product quality has always been the most desired thing in the field of software engineering. Software quality is directly related to the software development process. Various models of quality improvement proposed by SEI have been serving as great guides in this direction but recently the whole area of Software Process Improvement has got wide attention of software engineers and researchers alike. Though there are many models proposed in the literature for the implementation of knowledge based SPI, there is dearth of consensus on what makes the SPI effort a success. The present paper explores the critical factors of success as prescribed in literature for the successful implementation of knowledge based SPI.
