This book was released on 1996-03-01 with total page 134 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Software continues to be the single greatest challenge facing DoD systems developers. The criticality of software as a integral component of system design, continues to grow in importance as DoD moves into the 21st Century. To meet this ever increasing challenge, software development organizations are incorporating new design requirements and practices into their development processes. These new requirements/practices, properly implemented into the development process, can reduce software development and maintenance costs and increase software quality and development productivity. This thesis investigates the impact of three management-selected software development requirements/practices--CASE tools, Ada, and software reuse--on the progress of a particular DoD software development project, known as Project X. After a brief introduction the thesis presents background literature on the three development requirements of Project X. The background literature is used to support the Project X case study. Information required for the case study is obtained through interviews with Project X affiliated development personnel. Interview results are analyzed and interpreted through a comparison with information found in the background literature. Results of the case study identify several problems with management's plan to implement the three development requirements into Project X. The thesis identifies specific root causes for the implementation problems, and makes recommendations to reduce the impact of these problems on Project X and other present and future DoD software development projects.

Download or read book Ada and Beyond written by National Research Council and published by National Academies Press. This book was released on 1997-03-03 with total page 114 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Ada programming language was created by the U.S. Department of Defense (DOD) nearly two decades ago to provide a general-purpose programming language for defense and commercial use, but has evolved into a niche solution for safety-critical systems, primarily in defense applications. Ada and Beyond presents an approach for the DOD to move beyond the debate over its policy that requires the use of Ada for all new software development. It describes the importance of the software engineering process and recommends to DOD mechanisms for more effective review of software development and improved collection of data on software project outcomes. The volume also analyzes the technical, empirical, and business cases for using Ada and other programming languages, makes recommendations regarding the appropriate conditions under which DOD should continue to require the use of Ada, and details activities that require funding by DOD in order for Ada to remain a viable programming language.

Download or read book CASE is Software Automation written by Carma L. McClure and published by Pearson. This book was released on 1989 with total page 312 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Computer Aided Software Engineering (CASE) is the technology for automating software development and maintenance. This book, by one of the acknowledged experts on the subject, offers a very practical answer to the 25-year-old software crisis. Case technology is not at all that new, as it builds upon the structured techniques developed by Ed Yourdon, James Martin, Tom DeMarco and others in the 1970s. Many of the structured methodologies they fostered are enabled by CASE.
