Lessons Learned on the Road to a Modern Programming Environment.

Abstract

The problems of coping with increasing levels of automation in a large organization are formidable ones. Not the least of these is the organization's investment in the computer software needed to deliver its products. The environment in which the software is developed must be supportive, allowing rapid generation of error-free and maintainable computer code which meets user requirements. Defining the components which constitute this environment -- called a Modern Programming Environment (MPE) -- is merely a first step. Constructing the environment and then ensuring the proper interaction of personnel with it must also be accomplished. This paper discusses some of the steps that have already been taken by the Defense Mapping Agency to proceed to an MPE and the lessons learned along the way. (Author)
