Objective
Increase in cross-project reusability, enabling Sunsoft to be more productive and more effective in addressing new vertical markets, without sacrificing product quality and reliability. Production of modular software, thus increasing the flexibility to incorporate new technologies in user interface and database management systems, which will keep the company in the edge of technology.
Improvement of test procedures by introducing test plans for the whole product and automating the test phase, thus increasing software reliability and robustness and reducing maintenance costs.
THE EXPERIMENT
The main task of the experiment is to produce a pattern or a set of guidelines, that will be used to clearly identify each component. The concepts behind the CORBA guidelines will be used to strictly define the term "Component" as it is perceived by it's intended use in the Sunsoft development environment. Subsequent tasks are to identify components in the targeted baseline applications and evaluate the efficiency of these identification guidelines. A repository of basic "Components" will be build so that reusability issues will be addressed and properly measured.
EXPECTED IMPACT AND EXPERIENCE
The use of Object Oriented techniques in analysis, design and coding, the introduction of Business Components in the software production process and the use of automated testing procedures are expected to increase cross-project reusability, reduction of development and maintenance time and effort, increase of product quality and robustness and provide the company with a mechanism to capture and reuse the experience gained from each finished project. The clear separation of the Application, User Interface and Data Base domains is considered of prime importance as it will result in the effective incorporation of technology innovations in the last two domains.
The overall experience that will be gained in the application of object oriented methods and automated testing procedures is considered of great value, both for the development and the management and marketing people.
