Summary
This paper summarises important issues and experiences encountered during object-oriented activities carried out in business divisions (switching systems, mobile systems). These activities considered re-engineering and evolution of large software, and were driven by three major requirements:
-
Enforce existing object-oriented methods and notations, to help the definition and implementation of traceable development and maintenance processes.
-
Define a documentation process which reflects the major decisions (enrichment, new design, performance issues, ...), to help understanding the system before subsequent re-engineering/evolution.
-
Define the responsibilities involved in the object-oriented process, and the necessary synchronisation points to master iterations during development or evolution.
