Abstract

This paper deals with the programming in the large part and the integration with related activities (programming in the small, variant control, support of technical documentation, responsibility and access control) of the software development and maintenance process. It is pointed out how these tasks are supported with an integrated and incremental software project support environment (IPSEN).

Snapshots of a working session are used to demonstrate the user interface and the functionality of the tools for the above mentioned topics. The main concern of this paper is to show how an incremental and integrated tool set, regarding the consistency of software documents can support software development.

Reviews

Reviewer: Michael W. Whitelaw

One way in which programming in the small differs from programming in the large is that many tasks that can be left to the programmer's own discipline in the former have to be formalized in the latter. For effective use, both programming in the large and programming in the small tools should be unified. One such unified system is the incremental software project support environment (IPSEN), which provides a set of integrated tools for programming in the large. This paper provides a user's view of the documentation and management support tools in IPSEN. Lewerentz discusses five tool areas. The editor for software architecture provides both textual and graphical views of the relationship between software components and provides checks for consistency. Each individual component may be available in differing revisions or variants. The variant editor provides the means for mapping the logical software components to their current realizations. The implementation support derives from the software architecture the initial textual implementation frame for the development of the module using programming in the small tools. The frame has to be dynamically linked to the software architecture description so that changes can be automatically propagated. The integrated documentation editor is a syntax-oriented text editor with the ability to relate portions of the text with other documents in the system. The responsibility and access control module provides a user with only those commands that she or he is entitled to use. The paper is a good introduction for someone interested in the “user feel” of a support system for programming in the large.
