Abstract

In this paper, we describe PSP-DROPS (PSF Data RepOsitory and Presentation System), an automated Web-based tool to support teaching the Personal Software Process (PSP) technique, at Embry-Riddle Aeronautical University. PSP is a disciplined personal software process used in software development. Last year, PSP was incorporated into our first two programming, courses (CS1 and CS2). Using PPS-DROPS, students can receive on-line instructions for recording, their data, which cuts down the work load of managing and analyzing process data. Most importantly, the analyzed result can be presented to the students graphically anywhere that has the World Wide Web, (WWW) access. The user friendly environment by PSP-DROPS facilitates and motivates the students to practice PSP for improving, their academic work
