Objective
Delivering competitive software solutions requires increasingly efficient use of resources. One key way of achieving this is to apply re-use in as many areas as possible. With the effective application of re-use similarities between projects can be exploited to avoid re-working. In addition, complex projects can be simplified by breaking them down and identifying where previously tried and tested components can be applied to provide rapid and high quality solutions.
The key objective of this experiment is to build a framework in which BYG is better able to deliver customers quality solutions in a cost effective and efficient manner.
THE EXPERIMENT
To achieve the objective the experiment will investigate the creation, maintenance and use of different resource libraries to include software modules (applying Object Orientation, C++ and Java), application code (authored multimedia scripts), multimedia resources (video, sound, images etc.) and documentation (specifications, user documentation, training materials etc.). The various library management tools/techniques investigated will be complemented by developing effective management of re-use. The baseline application is the development of the next generation of PC-based multimedia authoring tools, involving approximately 12 of BYG's 35 total staff.
EXPECTED IMPACT AND EXPERIENCE
BYG's staff will gain valuable practical exposure to concepts of re-use and how to apply them in their work, be it software development, testing, application programming or generation of documentation. The small trials using various library management techniques will be extended throughout the company, including into its other core business in 3D simulation technology. The appointment of a formal Quality Assurance Management function in the company will ensure future consolidation of results.
