Management of object oriented distributed development systems

Objetivo

OPENLAKE is a distributed software factory, with sites spread all over Italy and connected with phone lines and Internet links. Project management and quality assurance, are centralised, developers are distributed. This distributed organisation is not, today, completely successful, causing a waste of time and resources. On the other hand very limited industrial experience and practice is available about distributed software processes. This PIE aims to experiment a methodology and tools to establish efficient communication and work procedures among physically distant groups and improve this situation.

THE EXPERIMENT
The project will introduce a methodology for efficient production of software products in a wide area distributed environment, repeating the following steps:

definition of the distributed production process
definition of procedures and organisation for the distributed production process
survey, evaluation and experimentation of supporting tools

The main issues to be addressed with the above methodology are:

type and quantity of information to communicate to distributed developers for coding and unit test, allocation to developers of coding/testing units
definition and allocation of stub classes for test, definition and management of a stub class repository
distributed project tracking

EXPECTED IMPACT AND EXPERIENCE
The experiment will be considered successful if it will:

improve communication and co-ordination among distributed developers; discipline frequency and type of interaction between developers
reduce frequency and duration of meetings (therefore reduce cost of travel and subsistence)
reduce the need of relocating personnel (therefore reduce cost of relocation )
improve tractability (where and at which development stage is each distributed component)
improve integration test of distributed components
allow for iterative and prototyping development in a distributed environment.
