Impact of MPP on System Development.

Abstract

This document presents the results of an evaluation of the impact of modern programming practices (MPP) applied to TRW's Ballistic Missile Defense (BMD) Systems Technology Program (STP) Software development. The report provides an overview of STP including a reconstructed chronology of significant events and a description of the STP software development environment. It also presents detailed results of: identification, selection and definition of appropriate STP practices to be evaluated; investigation of the impact of selected MPP on software development cost, schedule and quality; as well as definition and preliminary application of techniques and tools comprising methodology for comparing TRW practices with those used by other contractors on other projects.
