Architectures

Abstract: Version and configuration control are mechanisms
for managing source code and system builds. In the
development of very large systems, built by large teams,
development management is the dominant factor. In this
paper we examine management support for development
through integrated environments and investigate the
implications for environment architectures. We do so by
defining a project scenario that is to be performed with
integrated project support environments. The scenario has
been carefully designed to not only determine the scope of
management functionality provided by a particular
environment, but also to probe implications for the
architecture of environments. The implications discussed in
this paper are: focus on user activities; the integration of
project management and development support concepts; the
ability to reinforce and avoid conflict with particular
organizational models; the ability to support evolution and
change of the product, environment, and organization; and
the capability for adaptation and insertion into a work
environment. The scenario is part of a methodology for
evaluation of environments currently used at the Software
Engineering Institute.
