摘要:
A system and method to perform planning and control/estimation for software modules within an automated development system are disclosed. The system has a software coding and testing module for defining and testing software applications, a software module database for maintaining software modules that may be part of software applications, and a software estimation module for estimating software development activity. The software estimation module comprises a release set estimation module and a function point analysis module. The software estimation module analyzes work request data for impact upon software module structure, generates work request dependency data using work request data, estimates size of software modules, estimates development effort needed for the software modules in the software, application, initiates modifications on a release plan for the software application using estimates for the size of the software modules and the estimate for the development effort needed, estimates manpower requirements using estimates for the size of the software modules and the estimate for the development effort needed, groups similar work requests into release sets, and develops release sets to be taken for development work.
摘要:
A method and system of a software development using visual action elements is disclosed. In one embodiment, the method includes providing a user interface with action elements, and providing a mechanism for specification and review of the action elements using the user interface. For example, providing a user interface includes providing a prototype of the user interface in a web browser and providing a mechanism for specification and review includes providing a toolbar with functionality to record user comments regarding the action elements. The method may also include providing a user interface to document the user interface. The method may further include providing an animated view of stimulus response behavior of the action elements.
摘要:
User interfaces created for software systems are used as the basis for gathering and/or disseminating requirements, behavioral specifications, review processes, and documentation. A computer readable medium is described, the medium having computer executable instruction to cause a system perform the method.
摘要:
A system and method for model driven software is disclosed. In one embodiment, the method of handling changes to a software system in a business environment includes capturing customer requirements of the software system in a schema, modeling business-software architecture of the software system in a first level of the schema, modeling design architecture of the software system in a second level of the schema, defining events that connect the first level and second level of the schema, defining links that represent interactions between the user interfaces, defining integration services for each of the events, mapping each element in the first level to a corresponding one of elements in the second level using the events, links and integration services, creating a knowledge repository with a traversable user interface representing the mappings, identifying changes to the software system, and analyzing impact of the changes using the knowledge repository.
摘要:
A software model is used to capture and store software system attributes resulting in a repository of system architecture elements. After creation of the model, changes may be proposed to the system, the impact of those changes analyzed using the repository, and a decision made based on the analysis whether to go forward with the proposed changes or take some alternative action.

摘要:
A method and apparatus to afford a technical application for gathering, storing, tracking, and using requirements, engineering software for those requirements, and releasing finished enterprise software. A method is described that gathers requirements into a constrained data structure designed to facilitate the engineering of pre-specified definitions of the work to be done. A data structure and schema are described that organizes the gathering of requirements, the engineering of software that meet those requirements, and the orderly release of the software components. A computer readable medium is described, the medium having computer executable instruction to cause a system perform the method.
