Unified modelling language for component design

Obiettivo

CAS is a software house, developing Mapware and Groupware products for the mass market. With Map&Guide we are the European market leader for professional route planning. It was a strategic decision of the top management of CAS, to adopt the component approach and appropriate methods, to deal with reusability of our modules. Though object oriented design methods are well established and well tested, their successful application in small companies for component design and development is not yet proved. Therefore, we want to measure the efficiency of such techniques on a baseline project taken from our key business line, before promoting them in the whole company. Our goals in UNCODE are:
to improve reusability and quality of our source code,
to increase the efficiency of our software development
to achieve full commitment of the participating staff members,
to improve the maturity of our development process

THE EXPERIMENT
Within UNCODE we will apply the Unified Modelling Language (UML) to Map&Guide, an in-house continuously developed geographic information system, involving basic system, map kernel and application developers. Map&Guide will be restructured in 1997 to become the first fully component- and service-oriented geographic information system in Europe. This significant evolution stage will be the baseline project for this experiment. The integration of the UML in our development process and it's correct application/use for component design & development will be supported by the Forschungszentrum Informatik (FZI) with teaching and consultancy.

EXPECTED IMPACT AND EXPERIENCE
From the software engineering point of view we expect after a successful completion of UNCODE:
Design improvement: more flexible, adaptable, maintainable and compatible products
Quality improvement: measured in error reports per month from the application development to the basic development department. Immediately after completion we expect 20% less reports, 50% one year later.

From the commercial point of view we expect:
Faster time-to-market response: about 20% for Map&Guide and 60% for tailored versions, establishing CAS as technology leader
Cost reduction: due to the shorter development cycles and reduced maintenance costs
New markets: for CAS as a leading component provider.

Furthermore we expect significant social benefits from UNCODE. The job satisfaction of the staff members will increase by the application/use of sophisticated methods and tools, by:

increase of productivity
increase of creativity, as boring parts will be fulfilled by the purchased tool
increase of the market value of the trained staff members
