Objective
INDRA DTD has a great concern to improve quality related to systems design and development concerning its business area, through reduction of Maintenance cost and increased levels of Reliability and Reusability. It is also the aim of the Company to keep to date with modern software development practices, whenever these new practices have revealed to improve the quality and productivity of the developments in the software areas of our concern. The frequent commitment of the Company in international projects recommends to be aware of the modern development methodologies followed by the wider community, and not to stay behind of the current trends.
One of the software engineering practices internally identified as needing such an updating is the analysis and design methodology. The objective of the project is to learn about Object Oriented Methodologies and to gain experience through its application them to an actual software project.
THE EXPERIMENT
With the above goal, the Experiment will consist of three main phases. The first one will concentrate on technically preparing the participants in Object Oriented Methodologies, and make them ready to apply their knowledge to a real development. Next, the selected OO Methodology and Tool will be applied to a tool intended to support the development of Test Programs. Finally, the experience gained in the application of the methodology as well as in the usage of the CASE tool supporting it, will take form of written guidelines, recommendations and technical notes.
The Automatic Test Systems Department of INDRA DTD employs 130 persons, 10 of which are partially or totally devoted to engineering supporting.
EXPECTED IMPACT AND EXPERIENCE
The immediate results expected with the realisation of the Experiment will be, by the one side, to gain experience in software development using OO Methodology, both in the use of that technique as well as a CASE tool supporting it. It is anticipated that the new methodology will lead to better rates in software reliability and maintainability, and will promote software reusability.
It would also assess about the cost and effort of introducing the new technique in other projects and departments, having in mind its future expansion throughout the Department and the Company as an internal development standard.
