SOFTWARE FACTORY Bersabe, Toni Rose Castañeda, Karen Rose Loreto, Jeremy Ong, Glenn Richmond EM-TECH – S15
HISTORY • Michael A. Cusumano of M.I.T. – major historian of Software Factory • Late 1960s – term ‘factory’ had arrived in software engineering; associated with computer-aided tools, management-control systems, modularization, and reusability • Hitachi – first company in the world to adopt the term ‘factory’ to label a software facility • Steve Cook and Stuart Kent of Microsoft – proposed the Software Factory method
DEFINITION Jack Greenfield and Keith Short A software product line that configures extensible tools, processes, and content using a software factory template based on a software factory schema to automate the development and maintenance of variants of an archetypical product by adapting, assembling, and configuring framework-based components
DEFINITION Microsoft Patterns & Practices Team A software factory is a structured collection of related software assets. When a software factory is installed in a development environment, it helps architects and developers efficiently create high-quality of specific types of applications
Designers Developers Focused tool with specific instructions targeted at solving small and specific business problems Business Analysts Testers Project Managers Architects Software Development Tool
HOW IT WORKS • Development – component assembly, involving customization, adaptation, and extension • Outputs multiple product instances – each one different from the previous one based on the unique configuration of it
COMPONENTS • Design Patterns • A general reusable solution to common problems in software design • Description or template of solving problems in many different situations • Is not a finished design that can be transformed directly into code
SOFTWARE FACTORY MODEL • Utilizes a set of industrialization patterns that hastens rapid development of software products (MSDN, 2004).
MASS CUSTOMIZATION • Modular Customization -uses the “building blocks” principle • Adjustable Customization - reversible type of customization • Dimensional Customization - permanent customization procedures - e.g. mixing, tailoring or even cutting-to-fix
MANUFACTURER’S PERSPECTIVE Advantages Disadvantages • Reduction of costs • Earns customer loyalty • Competitive advantage • Thorough analysis of the customer’s needs • Higher incomes • Competitive position • Process-feasibility technology • High chances for business improvement • Organizational readiness • Considered as an expensive IT investment • Requires training • Probable risks for failure
CUSTOMER’S PERSPECTIVE Advantages Disadvantages • Customer convenience • Products are designed according to the customer’s preferences • Purchases may be done in spite of differences of time and location between the manufacturer and the customer • Customized according to the individual needs of a client • Takes longer time to be delivered • Procurement is much complicated than what we know • Difficulty to get hold of the final product before it gets to be purchased
CUSTOMER’S PERSPECTIVE Advantages Disadvantages • Customers will be able to tell the manufacturer what exactly they need • Encourages clients to invest ample amount of time to design their products which in turn creates an atmosphere of loyalty • Customized products are usually priced much higher than the usual ones
