Overview: In order to investigate practitioners' opinions of software process and software process improvement, the authors have collected a large volume of qualitative evidence from 13 companies. At the same time, other researchers have reported investigations of practitioners, and the authors are interested in how their reports may relate to the authors evidence. Thus, other research publications can also be treated as a form of qualitative data. This paper reviews advice on a method, content analysis that is used to analyse qualitative data. Content analysis is used to describe and analyse discussions on software process and software process improvement. Preliminary findings are reported from an analysis of both the focus group evidence and four publications.
