The Roadmap to Software Factories
Tools, Patterns and Frameworks
Roadmap to Software Factories
What is a Software Factory?“Models are used not only for analysis and design, but to support many varied types of computation across the entire software life cycle – even at run time”
“Software Factories are really just the logical next step in the continuing evolution of software development methods and practices”
Roadmap to Software Factories
ContextPast Adhoc tools and
personal styles Exploration of best practices
Present
Disparate tools and patterns
Emerging best practices
Future Integrated tools and patterns
Consolidation and adoption of best practices

Deploying
Release build by hand or usingsimple install project
For manual release, developer contextoften required
Roadmap to Software Factories
Deploying
Components assembled byautomated build scripts
Release packaging automated
Developer context still required for manual release
Roadmap to Software Factories
Deploying
Release, associated release notesand status reports automated
Strong context linking issues, change-sets and builds
Environments modelled (e.g. DSI)
Roadmap to Software Factories
Conclusion
Progression from disparate approaches, to distillation of best practice into patterns and toolsBetter end to end tools and frameworks (e.g. Visual Studio Team System)Focus on discipline and maturity
