Four case studies were conducted in support of an Ada |
|
Joint Program Office (AJPO) effort to assist key managers |
|
in the evaluation of Ada's appropriateness as az |
|
technology for developing management information systems |
|
(MIS). This report describes the allocations studied as |
|
well as some of the dynamics involved with their |
|
development. The report seeks to qualitatively describe |
|
the costs, risks, and benefits present in these |
|
applications. The descriptive method provides sufficient |
|
detail for the manager to better relate the studies to |
|
his or her own situation and experience. Our research |
|
builds on a comprehensive independent study to develop |
|
accurate methods of quantifying the costs, benefits, and |
|
risks of an Ada project. Even though this comprehensive |
|
study was based on non-MIS applications, our case study |
|
questions were designed to test the correlation of their |
|
conclusions with our results. Applications were selected |
|
which would contribute important areas of understanding |
|
to the consideration of ADA for MIS. One case study was a |
|
complete branch banking system, including data base, |
|
office automation, and communications software. Another, |
|
a relational data base system complete with application |
|
generator and related tools, gave insights into |
|
portability, reliability, and maintainability issues. A |
|
third imposed the performance, reliability, and failure |
|
recovery requirements of a financial transaction system. |
|
The fourth integrated off-the-shelf components into |
|
reusable Ada subsystems. |
