Objective
Real problems encountered in the currently applied development methodology, better quality of the delivered software and the emerging need for ISO 9001 standardisation are the major firing elements of this experiment.
The formalization of the software development methodology is expected to let the company solve some of the problems encountered so far, like reduced quality of the produced software, poor estimation of forthcoming projects and difficulties in new versions and support of existing products..
This formalization, consisting of the definition of a complete lifecycle model, description of the format of deliverables of each phase and the use of the software tools used to support the model, along with the use of object oriented techniques for the analysis and the design phase of the development, are the tangible objectives of this project.
THE EXPERIMENT
The definition and application of a software lifecycle model, based on object orientation, in the current context of the company's activities. Appropriate documentation forms will be generated, software development tools will be used and sufficient training will be provided, so as to deliver a well defined procedure for the development process.
The proposed model will be checked against a baseline project, is expected to deliver applausive results and be appropriately documented and disseminated, so as to be used as the core methodology inside the co-ordinating and other, with similar characteristics, companies.
EXPECTED IMPACT AND EXPERIENCE
The first target is the improvement of the quality of the delivered software. Restricted control on the development process is essential to guarantee that quality.
Apart from that, the metrics collection process is expected to provide better insight both on the cost of the process, as well as on a better estimation on the capabilities of the development team.
The experience gathered by this project and by the use of the methodology introduced is expected to improve the position of the company in the software development market.
