- Abstract
- As many software development teams have started to adopt agile methods, a vast amount of valuable experiences can be found in both academia and industrial knowledge bases. This information has been used for the development of many approaches to guide and to help practitioners finding the most suitable practice. Nevertheless, not many of these approaches could gather these available experiences and make them systematically reusable to help agile practitioners understanding agile practices in depth. To the best of our knowledge, there is only one ontology which has been created to solve this problem. There are however some limitations related to the quality and the usability that make this ontology unqualified to serve the intended purpose. This paper presents some important improvements to overcome the limitations of the mentioned ontology. Firstly, we improve its concept-based and theoretically validate it using a large data-set collected by a Systematic Literature Review (SLR). Secondly, we create a tool with a friendly Graphical User Interface (GUI) to allow using the ontology as a concrete agile practice knowledge provider. Finally, we validate the enhanced ontology and supporting tool using a survey with agile experts. As a result, we furnish an efficient and effective tool providing the information that helps practitioners decide what practice to adopt in their specific context.
