Process patterns

Process patterns can be defined as the set of activities, actions, work tasks or work products and similar related behaviour followed in a software development life cycle. Process patterns can be more easily understood by dividing it into terms: "Process", which means the steps followed to achieve a task and "patterns", which means the recurrence of same basic features during the lifecycle of a process. Thus in a more universal term process patterns are common or general solution for a complexity. Typical examples are: # Customer communication (a process activity). # Analysis (an action). # Requirements gathering (a process task). # Reviewing a work product (a process task). # Design model (a work product). Process patterns can be best seen in software design cycle which involves the common stages of development. For example, a generic software design life cycles has following steps: # Communication. # Planning. # Modeling which involves requirement gathering, analysis and design from business perspective. # Development which involves code generation and testing. # Deployment includes the code deployment and testing in the production environment.
