Department of Defense Requirements for Ada Programming Support Environments. 'STONEMAN.'

Abstract

This document specifies the requirements for an Ada Programming Support Environment (APSE). It provides criteria for assessment and evaluation of APSE designs, and offers guidance for APSE designers and implementers. The purpose of an APSE is to support the development and maintenance of Ada applications software throughout its life cycle, with particular emphasis on software embedded computer applications. The three principal features of an APSE are the data base, the (users and system) interface and the toolset. The data base acts as the central repository for information associated with each project throughout the project life cycle. The interface includes the control language which presents an interface to the user as well as system interfaces to the data base and toolset. The toolset includes tools for program development, maintenance and configuration control supported by an APSE. A further goal of great importance in some areas of Ada usage, such as within the DoD, is that of portability both of user programs and of the software tools within the APSE.
