Editor's Notes
- #11: SW development has changed profoundly Advent of the Internet, combined with FOSS licenses that facilitate sharing and cloud-available tools such as Subversion have fueled a whole generation of distributed, community based collaborative developmentAt same time, componentization and service based architectures, and code-specific search have made rapid prototyping and application assembly feasibleThis has enabled both Agile development methods, and multi-source: mixing own code, FOSS, 3rd party, Outsourced Economic of FOSS use/re-use are compellingAccelerate innovation, even in tough budget climate, by focusing scarce development resources on key value-add; assemble rest via multi-sourceLarge pool of proven, re-useable softwareOver 360,000 projects; 2M person-years; $400B value (COCOMO) Distributed, Multi-Source, Agile = new pragmatismCustomers have reduced new devel up to 80%, @ $10-$20 per LoC Market Need: Managing AbundanceMinority have defined policies; far fewer use tooling to automate/manage: Ad-HocOnce ready to accept Multi-source devel, dev shops overwhelmed w/ complexitySearch & select – need to make good choicesCompliance/Mgmt – make it easy, “designed in”, support Agile methodsAutomate policy, processes easily within existing ALM infrastructure
