Objective
The German aerospace research establishment (DLR) co-ordinates large aerospace projects, encompassing the integration of highly sophisticated, innovative software systems and their technology transfer into an industrial environment.
In this context, it is the task of DLR to perform quality evaluations and reengineering of third party prototype software in order to enable the integration of this externally developed software prototypes into large operational software systems.
THE EXPERIMENT
The objective of this process improvement experiment is to introduce a strategy and process for reengineering software prototypes developed by industrial research departments, small and medium size enterprises, research organisations, and universities.
This reengineering process, based on state-of -the-art process and product metrics, supported by an underlying reengineering environment, comprises the evaluation of a software prototype, its redocumentation, redesign, recoding and regression testing, and thus provide the base for the integration of these software prototypes in operational software systems.
EXPECTED IMPACT AND EXPERIENCE
The anticipated impact and experience of this process improvement experiment, focusing on the definition and introduction of a best practice reengineering and integration process, include a significant reduction of the effort needed for the assessment and reengineering of internally and externally developed software prototypes. In addition, the ability to predict more precisely the integration and maintenance effort necessary is envisaged. Finally, it is anticipated, that the planned reengineering and integration process ensures the quality and maintainability of the software packages integrated into the operational software systems.
By the achievement of these more technically and process oriented goals, it is anticipated to provide the basis for major commercial advantages. These advantages comprise the improved efficiency of software prototyping, reengineering and integration as well as more accurate estimation and project planning based on the introduced process and product metrics. Thus, the successful process improvement experiment is expected to improve the competitiveness of DLR as an integrator of highly innovative software systems.
