abstract = {Software intensive systems evolve during their
lifetime, which inevitably results in degrading
software quality. In order to extend the lifetime of
their products, organisations must adopt a more
mature ---evolutionary--- software development
approach that pays attention to quality aspects
during all phases of the product life cycle. In this
paper we list the achievements and lessons learned
that were obtained during the SERIOUS project, an
European research project that tested
state-of-the-art techniques, tools and processes on
numerous case studies in varying industrial contexts.
The application of evolutionary software development
resulted in changes in the state-of-practice,
yielding reduced total development costs and
increased product lifetimes for the participating
business units.},
