Abstract

Hybrid software processes that combine agile and traditional practices are currently the most frequently used in industry. Most of the time, development is addressed with agile practices while management activities apply more traditional methods. However, the best combination of practices does not only depend on project attributes like project of team size, but also the characteristics that need to be emphasized, e.g. time to market or early value added. DynaTail has been proposed as a method that combines hybrid process tailoring and evaluation according to an intended characteristic to be optimized. It was evaluation in industry and, although it was well received, they highlighted the need for a supporting tool so that software developers only need to deal with elements of their processes and not technicalities of the method. In this paper we present DynaTool, a model-based tool to support the DynaTail method. We formalize it and illustrate its application by replicating the same case. We found that DynaTool can fully support DynaTail. Nevertheless, we still need to go back to industry to confirm its potential adoption.
