Maintainability versus CostSenior Management decision at outset:

Maintainability a requirement for the new system

OR

V1.0

Maintainability is not a problem: short system life,replaced before maintenance an issue

OR

Maintainability secondary to rapid delivery.The business will accept cost of re-engineering


Atern Maintainability Decision

In groups, decide which of the 3 maintainability

What is Configuration Management (2)?Configuration management is the process of:

Identifying and defining configuration items (CIs) of asystem

Controlling release and change of CIs throughout thelifecycle

V1.0

Recording and reporting status of CIs and changerequests

Verifying completeness and correctness of CIs ANSI/IEEE 729

Change Control : the set of formal procedures which recordand enable changes to c onfiguration items.


Configuration ManagementWhy is CM necessary?

Iteration implies change, which must be managed

Changes must be reversible - version control

V1.0

CM Champion Tech. Co-ordinator?

Within team Tool Support?


Configuration Management StrategyBaselining: a snapshot at a point in time

Continual integration

Baseline prototypes:

V1.0

Before demonstration After approval

Baseline: Daily? After each item unit-tested? End of development timebox (at minimum)

Metrics in Atern Immediate payback in an iterative environment

Why measure?

Keep it simple, make it easy

V1.0

What are we measuring?

Compare measures (need > 1!)

Measures drive behaviour


Atern Metrics

In groups, think of one simple (but imaginative!)metric which would measure the success of the case
