07 Implementation Issues

The document discusses key issues in implementing software systems. It covers developing programs in different languages, reusing existing components, managing configurations and versions, developing on a host system that is different from the target execution environment, and tools that support the implementation process like integrated development environments and configuration management tools.

IMPLEMENTATION ISSUES

• A critical stage of software development


process is system implementation where you
create an executable version of the software
• Implementation may involve developing
programs in high- or low-level programming
languages or
• Tailoring and adapting generic, off-the-shelf
systems to meet the specific requirements of
an organization;

IMPLEMENTATION ISSUES

• Reuse: Most modern software is


constructed by reusing existing
components or systems.
• Configuration management: keep track of
software components’ versions
• Host-target development: development
computer (the host system) vs execution
computer (the target system)

REUSE

• The abstraction level: At this level, you don’t reuse


software directly but rather use knowledge of
successful abstractions in the design of your software.
• The object level: At this level, you directly reuse objects
from a library rather than writing the code yourself.
• The component level: Components are collections of
objects and object classes that operate together to
provide related functions and services
• The system level: At this level, you reuse entire
application systems.

REUSE COSTS

• The costs of the time spent looking for


software to reuse
• The costs of buying the reusable software
• The costs of adapting and configuring the
reusable software components or systems
• The costs of integrating reusable software
elements with each other

CONFIGURATION
MANAGEMENT

• Configuration management is the general


process of managing a changing software
system
• The aim of configuration management is to
support developers:
– Access the project code and documents in a
controlled way
– Find out what changes have been made
– Compile and link components to create a system

CONFIGURATION
MANAGEMENT

• Version management: keep track of the


different versions
• System integration: define what versions of
components are used to create system
• Problem tracking: report bugs and other
problems
• Release management: plan the
functionality of new releases and
organizing the software for distribution

HOST-TARGET DEVELOPMENT

• Software is developed on one computer


(the host) but runs on a separate machine
(the target)
• It is more than just hardware
• It includes operating systems plus other
supporting software such as a database
management system

SOFTWARE DEVELOPMENT
PLATFORM

• An integrated compiler and syntax-directed editing


system
• A language debugging system
• Graphical editing tools, such as tools to edit UML
models
• Testing tools, such as Junit
• Tools to support refactoring and program
visualization
• Configuration management tools to manage source
code versions and to integrate and build systems.
July 30, 2020 502045 - Implementation Issues 12
TARGET PLATFORM

• The hardware and software requirements


of a component
• The availability requirements of the system
• Component communications
