Long-standing standard practices in traditional manufacturing, the concept of production lines is relatively new in the software industry. A software product line is a set of systems that share a common set of core technical assets, with additions and planned changes to meet the needs of specific customers or market segments.
Software organizations of all types and sizes discover that when executed skillfully, the production line strategy can lead to enormous gains in productivity, quality and time to market. Software product lines are the culmination of extensive investigations by the Software Engineering Institute (SEI) at Carnegie Mellon University on how to "re-equip" leading software developers for production lines. Explaining the basic concepts that illuminate through real world experience, this book illustrates the technical issues involved in adopting a production line strategy, as well as organizational and managerial issues that are critical to success.
In presenting a comprehensive set of practices and patterns, this book identifies and explores key activities for the development of a software production line and explains specific practice areas in engineering, technical management and organizational management. Advantages include: Benefits of the software production line approach, including actual optimization data from industry success stories Ways to develop a reusable base for core assets and product development that use these fundamental core problems associated with concrete solutions in the form of a reusable software product Nine pine patterns Twenty areas of successful implementation, including the definition of architecture, component development, configuration management, market analysis and training.
Technical inquiry into the production line to identify technical and organizational weaknesses that may hamper success. Three detailed case studies from the industry lead you step by step through the process of developing and managing program production lines, demonstrating potential risks, creative solutions and ultimate rewards.
Discussion questions, side lists, and real tales from the trenches reveal the collective wisdom of those on the front line of software production lines. 0201703327B09102001.
