Product-Focused Software Process Improvement (PROFES 2018)

Part of the book series: Lecture Notes in Computer Science ((LNPSE,volume 11271))

Abstract

In this paper, we present experiences from eight years of developing a financial transaction engine, using what can be described as an integration-test-centric software development process. We discuss the product and the relation between three different categories of its software and how the relative weight of these artifacts has varied over the years. In addition to the presentation, some challenges and future research directions are discussed.

Research supported by Ericsson AB and PLEng School.
