An A3AOs Method of Software Tools Integration in the Complex System Development
Marius Johanssen, YangYang Zhao · INCOSE International Symposium · 2019
Abstract Companies commonly face cost pressures due to the increasing industry rivalry and competition. Software tools in this regard has become more and more popular in assisting the complex systems development. However, the lack of a proper system development process that integrates the usage of software tools will hinder the company efficiency. This is especially visible as each engineer may use software tools differently. In the context of complex system developments, this research investigates the optimization of the system development process by integrating software tools. We propose an architecture of a new system development process using A3 Architectural Overviews. Based on a real‐life case study and quick‐prototyping techniques, the architecture evolves into an optimized system development process that can increase efficiency, quality and consistency for the case company.
