Better Software Conference 2005: Software Production Line Automation with Concurrent Development

[presentation]
by
C Thomas Tyler, The Go To Group Inc
Summary: 

In some contexts, the software development process can be optimized when it is thought of-and run-like a highly automated manufacturing production line. Rather than producing many identical widgets like a manufacturing plant, software organizations produce many programming changes. These changes may not be identical like manufactured widgets, but programming changes can start looking a lot like widgets when you look at the big picture. In this session, Tom Tyler describes how to bring the processes and benefits normally associated with manufacturing to software development-efficiency, reliability, and extensive automation. Manufacturing organizations invest heavily in tooling and infrastructure to automate production lines, and they reap great rewards in efficiency. Find out what a software production line looks like, how it supports concurrent development, and when it can help you make better use of your limited development resources.
