Abstract: It is a critical issue to mine the real enacted software process (not experiential process).Due to the characte-ristics of software process event data,i.e.,many records,no specific activity and its unique features,the existing business process mining methods can’t support them effectively.Firstly,the atomic activities of event log were gained.Then,activity patterns were mined from the software project development instances by folding method,the software process was got,and the software development activities in different periods were analyzed.Finally,this method was verfied through a case of open source projects.

Key words: Process mining,Atomic activity,Activity pattern,Folding,Software process
