Adopting New Software Development Techniques to Reduce Obsolescence

Abstract

This paper reports on the advanced techniques employed in the specification of software requirements and the subsequent software development for an E-Scan demonstrator Radar Data Processor. This involves the Rapid Object-oriented Process for Embedded Systems (ROPES), UML syntax object-oriented design and automatic code generation and test. The COTS technology reported is in terms of commercially available state of the art method and tool support for the software analysis and design. The resulting software product contains a significant proportion of COTS code refuting from the code-generation. We are also using automation in development of our MMI a COTS GUI-builder and COTS hardware and operating system. In this paper we also report on the object-oriented method using the ROPES process together with information about how in practice we are implementing the theory. We present the structure of the software and how it relates to the application under development.
