An integrated method for rapid software development and effective process management

Abstract

An integrated method for rapid software development and effective process management is presented in this chapter. The method follows the guidelines suggested by extreme programming that asks less design work for speeding software development. Further, for effective guidance on the development, it directs the construction of system components by imposing a layered specification and construction of these components through its process of development activities where Petri net techniques and Java annotation features are imposed to support such management issues as SCM, traceability, and progress monitoring. Since the method directs a layered development of system components and the management of its development activities is featured in an integrated manner, team productivities can be greatly enhanced by intimate collaborations between development and management staff. For illustration, an example application is presented that directs the development of a software system with business-oriented services. © 2013 Springer-Verlag.
