The Experimental Validation and Packaging of Software Technologies

该项目正在研究软件开发方法，以开发可用于将这些方法的特定实例参数化为通用方法的通用技术。这些一般方法将在一系列实验中进行评估，以建立此类知识的经验基础。未来的软件开发将基于以各种形式重用现有产品。这项工作对阅读和写作、分析和构建之间的关系提供了洞察力。研究的重点是：1.基于对软件开发中使用的各种文档的理解来开发技术系列，以便(A)评估文档本身，例如，报告文档中的缺陷，以及(B)使用原始文档作为基线来构建其他文档，例如，使用先前的文档作为新开发的指南，基于对先前产品的重用来开发新产品。2.开发一套可用于在实验室和工业环境中评估技术的评估方法。3.建立技术评估的体验库，其他人可以访问，他们可以将自己的经验附加到这些技术中。

This project is studying software development methods to develop general techniques that can be used to parameterize specific instances of these methods into general methods. These general methods will be evaluated in a series of experiments in order to develop an experience base of such knowledge. Software development in the future will be based upon reuse of existing products in a variety of forms. This work provides insight into the relationships between reading and writing, analysis and construction. The research focuses on: 1. Developing families of techniques based upon understanding the various documents used in a software development in order to (a) evaluate the document itself, e.g., to report defects in the document, and (b) construct other documents using an original document as a baseline, e.g., to develop a new product based upon reuse of prior products using the earlier documentation as a guide to the new development. 2. Developing a set of evaluation methods that can be used to assess technologies in the laboratory and in industrial settings. 3. Building an Experience Base of technique evaluations that can be accessed by others, who can append their own experiences with those techniques.
