Objective
The objective of this PIE is to introduce software configuration management practices and measurements for faster delivery of products and for faster customer responses, to give good support for parallel development, for geographically distributed teams and for multiplatform environment. The customers will be satisfied with the much better product support that can be given to the old releases of products. Other objective is to measure our maturity level by applying the ISO-SPICE which is being developed within the ISO framework. The quantitative target of the project objectives is to increase the efficiency of the software configuration methods by reducing the costs 30 %.
THE EXPERIMENT
Achieving the objective above requires the improvement of software configuration management practices supported by tools as follows:
a) Configuration management using ClearCase.
b) Geographically distributed software development using ClearCase Multisite.
These tools make it possible to develop the product together with parallel projects. Projects' members can also be located in different regions. The product can be developed for different platforms.
The experiment will be performed around Damatic XD (Distributed Control System developed by Valmet Automation). Valmet Automation employs 1800 people.
The results will be measured comparing the new methods with the current methods.
EXPECTED IMPACT AND EXPERIENCE
Valmet Automation expects to gain know-how in the efficient usage of ClearCase and Multisite in software configuration management. With this knowledge it is possible to raise the product quality and speed time to market for Valmet Automation's products.
