Costaisa Overview

From 1968 an IT consulting firm…. Developing software Integral outsourcing From IBM 360 to zSeries Specialized in the IBM Mainframe Area (VM, VSE, z-LINUX, etc.) Specialized in the Insurance and healthcare business domain. Main outsourcer for a national Healthcare organization in Spain (5000 users, 200 facilities:

hospital, primary care, etc.) Around 230 FT employees.

Legacy IT House vs Web2.0

Legacy IT House

UML, XML,Relational DB, EGL, SOA, J2EE, Portal, HTTP, HTML, Javascript, CSS, Web2.0,…

Every project is similar

Everyone knows its place

Where is the ball?

Am I reinventing the wheel?

Who is who?

11


The Paradigm Shift

For several decades, the software industry has created software systems to support the needs of its customers, but... Despite all that experience, however, quality and productivity are not improving quickly.

We realize about the same level of productivity today as we did 10 years agoStandish group

Confront a group of developers or project managers, and ask them if they think they are successful in building software today. They almost always tend to laugh a little

Few teams regularly reuse solutions created in the past

We can see that we have a predictable problem on every new project

12


Software Factory /Product Line

Production mechanism and process: the means for composing and configuring products from the software asset inputs. Product decisions are used during production to determine which software asset inputs to use and how to configure the variation points within those assets.

Software asset inputs: a collection of software assets – such as requirements, source code components, test cases, architecture, and documentation – that can be configured and composed in different ways to create all of the products in a product line

Decision model and product decisions: The decision model describes optional and variable features for the products in the product line. Each product in the product line is uniquely defined by its product decisions - choices for each of the optional and variable features in the decision model.

Software product outputs: the collection of all products that can be produced for the product line. The scope of the product line is determined by the set of software product outputs that can be produced from the software assets and decision model.

Summary RBD (egl)

Productive, easier than Java J2EE

Your “legacy” people will be grateful

Don’t worry about how will be j2ee in the future (IBM will do for you)

But..You must invest in a software factory framework (or adopt one as AMC).

Invest on adapting tooling for MDA (RSM, RDA) and you will have EGL3.

46


COSTAISA AMC, How can we help you?

There are a variety of approaches for transitioning to, or adopting, a new software product line approach , but we recommend… Use an incremental transition strategy

Lifecycle strategy, product strategy, subsytem, people.

Create a Pilot as a catalyst for change

The pilot helps to build momentum by demonstrating to managers and engineers a practical, operational example of software product line practice and the tangible benefits it delivers.

Choose an expert to help define your best approach for getting started (and become one)

By leveraging our technology, pragmatic methods and proven expertise you can reduce your effort transition.

Combining the right tooling (IBM) and an intense, accelerated, hands-on program that brings leading-edge software product line development methods, knowledge and experience into your organization (AMC).
