aSPIRE - *A*dvanced *S*oftware *P*rocess *I*mprovement *Re*pository -
is a knowledge base of software development practices and
recommendations derived from empirical research carried out at Lero,
the Irish Software Engineering Research Centre.

## Components

aSPIRE comprises three components:

* The aSPIRE Knowledge Base, for which this page is the entry point;
* The [aSPIRE Advisor](Consult), that derives relevant
  recommendations from the Knowledge Base to address specific
  situations;
* The Aspire Process Generator, that creates process roadmaps from
  selected recommendations.

  
  
## Lero Research Projects

Lero has research projects investigating a wide range of issues and
domains related to software development:
Aspire aims to showcase the empirical software engineering research
carried out at Lero, by researchers in four Lero projects: 

* [ALPS](http://www.lero.ie/project/alps) Agile and Lean Project
  Management and Scaling.
* [OPS](http://www.lero.ie/project/ops) Open Software Engineering. 
* [PAISEAN](http://www.lero.ie/project/paisean0) Plan-driven, Agile,
  Inner-Source Environment Analysis Network.
* [SPRTMDRC](http://www.lero.ie/project/sprtmdrc0) Software Processes
  and Roadmaps for Medical Device Regulatory Compliance.

aSPIRE comprises three components:

* The [aSPIRE Wiki](index), for which this page is the entry point;
* The [aSPIRE Advisor](Consult), that derives relevant
  recommendations from the wiki's pattern library to address specific software
  development project situations;
* The [Aspire Process Generator](PMLCheck), that creates process roadmaps from
  selected recommendations.
