Abstract :
The main objective of teaching the personal software process (PSP) is to develop in students a professional attitude towards producing software. PSP improves performance in size and effort estimation accuracy, software reusability, product quality while maintaining or increasing overall productivity. This work presents the experience of the first author in teaching PSP at graduate level for three years, and a tool, PSP-EAT, the authors have built to reduce both student and instructor clerical work in learning and teaching PSP. The tool helps also in increasing the students´ data collection accuracy and their receptability to the PSP principles
