Small to medium-sized enterprises take advantage of the strengths and opportunities of cloud computing. These enterprises require a well-defined software process model to produce reliable and quality cloud software, given their limited resources. Existing related work is surveyed, and the needed missing features are determined. A cloud software life cycle process model is proposed, validated, and verified to handle the shortcomings of existing cloud software process models. A case study is used to illustrate all the activities required throughout the software life cycle of the proposed model. The proposed cloud software life cycle process model is a cyclic iterative prototyping model. It is compatible with levels two and three of the capability maturity model integration and extends the Egyptian software process improvement model to fit the cloud environment. The model helps small enterprises develop quality, maintainable, and sustainable cloud software at a reasonable cost.

中小型企业利用云计算的优势和机遇。鉴于资源有限，这些企业需要一个定义明确的软件过程模型来生产可靠和优质的云软件。调查现有的相关工作，并确定所需的缺失特征。提出、验证并验证了云软件生命周期过程模型，以解决现有云软件过程模型的不足。案例研究用于说明在建议模型的整个软件生命周期中所需的所有活动。所提出的云软件生命周期过程模型是一个循环迭代原型模型。兼容能力成熟度模型集成的二级和三级，扩展埃及软件过程改进模型以适应云环境。该模型帮助小型企业以合理的成本开发高质量、可维护和可持续的云软件。
