Abstract
This paper reports on the experiences of integrating several Software Engineering techniques by the Rapid Prototyping group of Siemens Corporate Research. This experience was gained during our recent project that involved developing a web-based, workflow-driven information system. The techniques integrated for this project included agile and iterative processes, user centered design, requirements discovery and maturation, and test-driven development. These techniques were integrated and supported by a proprietary process entitled “Siemens Rapid Prototyping” (S-RaP), a software architecture, and project management techniques. This paper will detail the specific characteristics of S-RaP, the software architecture, and the project management techniques that supported the integration of the above listed software engineering techniques. We will also report on our experience with their effectiveness and our thoughts on future enhancements in all three areas.
