Software Development Information Supported by the SEI Contractor Assessment Questionnaire

Abstract

The information presented in this report was acquired as part of the Distributed Computing Design System (DCDS) evaluation project, AIRMICS Report ASQB-GI-91-009, Evaluation of DCDS for Meeting the Data Collection Requirements for Software Specification, Development, and Support . The DCDS evaluation is outlined in the succeeding paragraph. This report augments the DCDS report by comparing the data requirements for a fully flexible CASE environment with the data requirements suggested by the Software Engineering Institute (SEI) contractor Assessment Questionnaire. The DCDS evaluation technical report consists of five separate but related reports which evaluate the Distributed Computing Design System (DCDS). DCDS was developed by TRW as a software development environment for real-time, distributed systems. The principal investigator evaluated DCDS in terms of: (1) its data collection requirements, (2) its software development information completeness, (3) its usability, (4) how it compares to five commercially available CASE tools, and (5) its suitability as an Ada Programming Support Environment (APSE)....
