Abstract—This article presents the concept of script as the linchpin in managing the software process, the pattern is proposed as a script within the software process, is presented as a research result of the comparison of two software projects, which the radical difference is found in the script. All of these patterns, including traditional processes(Waterfall, Spiral, Big-bang, Prototype, etc.) and Agilists methodologies (XP, Scrum, FDD, ASD, Evo, and others), can be used as tool scripts using Colossus+ in which one component is supplied for this purpose. The aim of the component patterns of the process is to provide a tool to organize and customize the scripts, the script component coined the term as equivalent to the script. Finally it presents a software component that compiles a set of process patterns that can be used and generated automatically.

Index Terms—Software process, script, pattern, component,tools.
