摘要： A computer-implemented method, system, and computer-readable medium for inducting a software project into a software factory is presented, wherein an induction process identifies what processes and sub-processes are needed to create the software factory, and wherein the induction process identifies potential risks to the software factory. In a preferred embodiment, the computer-implemented method comprises the steps of: submitting a factory project proposal to a service definition process; creating a service definition template from a compilation of selected checklists; scoring and classifying the service definition template to determine if the candidate project may be executed in the software factory; in response to the service definition template scoring above a pre-determined acceptable score, transmitting the factory project proposal to a service induction process; and in response to the candidate project passing a final review process, transmitting the candidate project to the software factory for execution.

摘要： Security for a software factory is provided by detecting a request by a user to utilize the software factory. Upon being authenticated, the user is granted permission to access specific areas of the software factory. A log is created of locations in software factory that have been accessed by the user. This log is then utilized in an audit that describes how effective the software factory is in creating deliverable software.

摘要： Within the context of a software factory, process sensors detect time consuming activities that extend beyond an estimated predetermined completion timeline for a project. These process sensors also detect wait states that are caused by processes and activities of tasks that are not critical to completing the project. A process analysis is used to determine if defined added value processes and activities identified in a value stream analysis are interdependent to a critical path for executing the project. If the defined added value processes and activities identified in the value stream analysis are determined to not be interdependent to the critical path for executing the project, then a determination is made that performance of the defined added value processes and activities identified in the value stream analysis is wasteful and such processes and activities are eliminated from the process.

摘要： A System to Maintain Balance of Factory Quality Attributes with Software Factory Operating Environment provides the means to determine if a deliverable will meet the needs of a client's project. The process includes the identification and measurement of different parameters of a software factory, including specified architectural features, and compares these parameters with the factory's strategic artifacts and client's critical project needs to qualify attributes within the software factory environment. This process provides a means to monitor and maintain an optimal balance of desirable quality attributes. Thus, quality attributes are analyzed before design time and before delivery of a software product, such that an analysis can be performed before any considerable amount of time and efforts have been spent on a project.
