TLDR
The different constructs in a SimSE process model are described, the associated model-builder tool is introduced, how to built an initial model of a waterfall process is described, and the underlying trade-offs and issues involved are discussed.Abstract:
SimSE is an educational software engineering simulation game that uses a unique software process modeling approach. This approach combines both predictive and prescriptive aspects to support the creation of dynamic, interactive, graphical models for software engineering process education. This article describes the different constructs in a SimSE process model, introduces the associated model-builder tool, describes how we built an initial model of a waterfall process, and discusses the underlying trade-offs and issues involved in our approach.
