Project GIPSY: Facing the challenge of future integrated software engineering environments
Tobias Murer · 1997
The goal of a software process is the development and maintenance of a software product. A software engineering environment (SEE) integrates a combination of tools to a cohesive environment to support the software process. Emerging technologies such as software components and the Internet will change the way software is produced and marketed. Component suppliers need to co-operate tightly within virtual organizations and share their software processes to produce properly interoperating components. The support of such a virtual organization that is managed decentralized and involves various cultures and methods challenges the social, technical and organizational aspects of traditional SEE concepts. The goal of the GIPSY (Generating Integrated Process support SYstems) project was the development of a SEE framework prototype capable to support a virtual organization's software process aimed to produce high quality software. The prototype allows for the generation of a SEE based on proces...
