Framework for Evaluating the Version Management Capabilities of a Class of UML Modeling Tools from the Viewpoint of Multi-site, Multi-partner Product…

2009

UML models are widely used in software product line engineering for activities such as modeling the software product line reference architecture, detailed design, and automation of software code generation and testing. But in high-tech companies, modeling activities are typically distributed across multiple sites and involve multiple partners in different countries, thus complicating model management. Today’s UML modeling tools support sophisticated version management for managing parallel and distributed modeling. However, the literature does not provide a comprehensive set of industrial-level criteria to evaluate the version management capabilities of UML tools. This article’s contributio…

An Information Systems Design Theory for Integrated Requirements and Release Management Systems

2009

High-tech companies need to collect and analyze requirements and allocate them to appropriate product releases in market-driven product development. Development activities are typically scattered across multiple sites and involve multiple partners in different countries, complicating requirements and release management. Flexible, scalable, and secure groupware-based support for the activities provides substantial payoffs. Yet, the extant literature provides little theoretical guidance for designing and using requirements and release management systems in multi-site, multi-partner environments. This article develops the meta-requirements and a meta-design of an information systems design the…
