Thursday, June 19, 2008 Software Factories, Why Should I Care?

This session will present current work done in the area of Software Factories. We will discuss the approach our team took to the new paradigm, including our struggles and successes implementing a thin slice of a Software Factory for one of our customers. The session will provide valuable insight into issues such as how and when to use tools like Visual Studio, MS DSL Toolkit, and the Guidance and Automation Toolkit and how they fit into the context of a large enterprise development project. We will also discuss the do’s and don’ts of using the Software Factories approach that we learned the hard way. This talk mainly aims at making system architects and application developers aware of advantages and pitfalls of implementing the Software Factories approach in a product development environment. We’ll also review quantitative results we collected during the project to show the business case. The presentation concludes with a look into the crystal ball to see where the Software Factory paradigm is heading and what tool support to expect in the near future.
