3. Integration Issues Delay Projects Lots of tools and practices focus on application development and testing, few focus on Integration We find three major issues:  Incomplete integration specs  Poor team communication  Late integration testing DefineConstructTestDeployManage Governance Productivity Technology Implementation, Training & Support Runtime Components Development GovernanceRuntime Governance Authoring Tools Professional Services Development Tools Testing Tools Need integration across the software development lifecycle

4. Challenges of Distributed Development Isolated teams operating on discrete requirements Inter-dependencies drive serialized development Consensus on specifications more difficult to accomplish Conformance to specifications difficult to monitor Integration Defects Discovered later

9. Reduce Design Cost and Time  Contributors more finely targeted  Fewer Re-designs for missed Requirements  Contribute deliverable components eliminated Improve Quality  Incremental Approach  Less Ambiguity in Specifications  Changes more Visible to relevant Stakeholders Solution Value Distributed Interface Specs Interface Spec Pt. 1Pt. 2Pt. 3Pt. 4

10. Solutions - Reduce Communication Errors Project Document Management  Centralized repository for synchronization, versioning  Ensures teams work from the same specs, receive updates  Provides project history & audit trail Bug Tracking  Logs and tracks defects from design to testing  Means of communicating audit results to development teams  Drives project dashboard Integration Dashboard  Ensures success criteria is understood and monitored  Exposes false assumptions, eliminates surprises  All stakeholders can see status of inter-system testing

13. Solution - Accelerating Testing Traditional Integration Testing  Parallel development in isolation  Integration defects discovered in Test -Must “assemble” app to discover flaws -Occurs late in project cycle  Time Consuming Discovery Process -Tends to discover defects serially -Defective Elements must be returned to Development Traditional Integration Testing  Parallel development in isolation  Integration defects discovered in Test -Must “assemble” app to discover flaws -Occurs late in project cycle  Time Consuming Discovery Process -Tends to discover defects serially -Defective Elements must be returned to Development Artix Certification Kits  Interface Simulators -Generated form Interface Spec -Consumers and Providers  Parallel Test during Development -Centrally Defined Tests Cases -Distributed to Developers Artix Certification Kits  Interface Simulators -Generated form Interface Spec -Consumers and Providers  Parallel Test during Development -Centrally Defined Tests Cases -Distributed to Developers Spec Develop & Unit Test Test App Spec Develop & Unit Test Test App Generate Kits

14. Solution Value - Certification Kits Reduce Rework  Early validation of IDD’s integrity  Defects discovered before code delivery Reduce Overruns and Delays  Integration Problems Identified and Resolved earlier Improve Quality  Subsequent Tests may focus on more complex scenarios Spec Develop & Unit Test Test App Generate Kits

15. The Federated Development and Certification Environment Example The Federated Development and Certification Environment (FDCE) is the set of processes and supporting infrastructure that is needed to support the conduct of net-centric Capability Provisioning Operations
