Keyword(s): Software Process Context, Taxonomy, Evidence Accumulation.

Abstract: When developing software intensive products, practitioners adapt software practices to suit their specific environment. In order to evaluate and compare practices in an evidence based way, researchers must report the context in which the practice was enacted. This is problematic, as the discipline lacks an agreed classification structure for software context. In this paper, we re-position earlier investigations into software context for the purpose of practice evaluation by mapping the evolved framework as a taxonomy. The purpose of the taxonomy is to support discussions about situated software practices with a view to guiding researchers in the specification of context. We conducted an initial evaluation by classifying existing context structures into the taxonomy, and by implementing a small trial study. In future work, we will refine the taxonomy in conjunction with software researchers and practitioners, and use the taxonomy for evidence accumulation.
