Amalgamation of Personal Software Process in Software Development Practice

Abstract

Today, concern for quality has become an international movement. Even
though most industrial organizations have now adopted modern quality
principles, the software community has continued to rely on testing as the
principal quality management method. Different decades have different trends in software engineering. The Personal Software Process (PSP) is an
evolutionary series of personal software engineering techniques that an engineer learns and practices. A software process is nothing without the
individual programmer. PSP a data driven process customized to teaching individuals about their programming styles, helping software engineers  further develop their skills in developing quality software. Apart from  discussing about PSP as a framework of techniques to help engineers and their organizations to improve their performance while simultaneously increasing product quality, in this paper, the Personal Software Process definition, principles, design, advantages and opportunities are explained focusing on the incorporation of PSP concepts in software development practice.
