STARS (Software Technology for Adaptable and Reliable Systems) Methodology Area Summary. Volume 2. Preliminary Views on the Software Life Cycle and Methodology Selection.

Abstract

Initially, the Ada Joint Program Office (AJPO) sponsored Professors Peter Freeman and Anthony Wasserman to identify requirements for software development methodologies that would allow the Department of Defense (DoD) to realize the full potential of Ada. Since that time, the work on methodologies to support Ada has been transferred to the DoD Joint Program Office for the program entitled Software Technology for Adaptable and Reliable Systems (STARS). The STARS Joint Program Office (SJPO) objective is to improve the productivity level of software system development and support as well as the resulting quality of deployed software systems. This report consists of two volumes: Volume I presents the organization and plans of the STARS Methodology Coordination Team. Volume II is a technical report concerned with the development of methodology classification, evaluation and selection technologies and a framework of characteristics that can be used to support these technologies.
