Objectif
The potential of maintenance cost savings, release time reduction, better reuse of software artefacts, enhanced development productivity has motivated Infosys in proposing SCOUT experiment.
Through the experiment, the proposer intends to verify how software configuration management best practices can help in pursuing company objectives such as: software maintenance costs reduction, better control of the software development process, establishment of a measurement system, help in reusing software artefacts, diffusion throughout the company of a formalised way of working.
THE EXPERIMENT
The experiment named SCOUT intends to define a Configuration Management process suitable to the proposer's software development organisation. Then, by means of a selected CM tool, the process will be applied and experimented into a baseline project aimed to reengineer an off-the-shelf software package supporting civil engineers in CAD drawing and computations. The introduction of a measurement system will help in obtaining feedback on the achieved improvements as well as will establish a company metrics database.
EXPECTED IMPACT AND EXPERIENCE
Final product assembly and delivery will occur faster, thus allowing proposer software development organisation to lessen the gap between change request (bugs or new functionalities) and its implementation. Software maintenance will also be improved since a formalised control of each artefact (code, test case, design specification etc.) concurring to final product.
The major internal impact resulting by this PIE is expected to be the set-up of the Configuration Management process, supported by a suitable Configuration Management Environment, where the defined procedures, standards and templates have been experimented and validated during the PIE, and so, can be adopted in all the other company software development projects.
