Establishing a development process for composite applications in the work-based learning and competency management domain
Hilary Dexter, Jim Petch, Dan Powley · International Journal of Learning Technology · 2008
There are management issues surrounding the development process required for the creation of software components that are to be implemented in applications and offered as constituents of a component or service framework. We offer ways of ensuring capability in a development team to provide services that may be assembled into multiple composite applications. We identify the following interrelated factors as necessary to the move to successful service-based application development: model-driven development, process capability and maturity, system requirements traceability, facilitating collaboration between domain experts and the technical implementers and process-based support for the development team. The proposed development process provides a basis for development project management and for support for all the involved roles.
