Software as a Product
Paolo Ciancarini
Agenda • Software products • The software industry • Architectural and engineering issues
Why is software important?
• Software is a key component in the modern industry, especially in the innovative, emerging technologies
• In the next few slides we report the Gartner hype cycle for the emerging technologies from 2005 to 2010
Hype Cycle of emerging technologies (according to Gartner)

Discuss
Identify in the Gartner diagrams the technologies which are software-intensive
Software is an industrial product The world sw industry increased its volume at 10% rates yearly
during the ‘90, and at 3% in 2001, now is back at 10% Several technological innovations are based on software (eg. Cellular telephones, Mp3 devices and iTunes, etc.) A cellular telephone includes 5+ MLOC (source Nokia) Windows XP includes 40+ MLOC (Windows 95: 11 MLOC) The developments costs of a software increases with the square of
its dimension in LOC [Berra-Meo 2001]
The software industry
• According to DataMonitor, the size of the worldwide software industry in 2008 was US$ 303.8 billion, an increase of 6.5% compared to 2007
• Americas account for 42.6% of the global software market's value
• In 2013, the global software market will have a value of US$ 457 billion, an increase of 50% since 2008
Software
• Good: product invisible, intangible, easily duplicated, very expensive to build
• Component of a computer system: can be widely (re)used (off the shelf) or commissioned by a specific user
• Abstract machine based on an abstract architecture
• Service invoked via a well defined interface and based on a communication infrastructure
Software components
• COTS: “component off the shelf” • Component based software
architectures • Building software by integration • Software component markets
– Enterprise Java Beans – Microsoft .NET
Software: the product of a process
• Many kinds of software products, many kinds of development processes
• Study the process to improve the product
• Examples of processes: waterfall, iterative, agile, extreme,…
• Software development processes are software too
Many kinds of software
• Middleware • Embedded • Open source • Web Services • Mobile (eg. applet) • Data mining (eg. Search engine) • Agents • Social software (eg. Web 2.0) • Software Ecosystems • …
Embedded software • Within only 30 years the amount of software in
cars went from 0 to more than 10,000,000 lines of code
• More than 2000 individual functions are realized or controlled by software in premium cars, today
• 50-70% of the development costs of the software/hardware systems are software costs

Software as a service Service: the immaterial equivalent of a good • Software is a service at heart, albeit an automated
one, but it is sold much like a manufactured good. Customers have to pay large sums of money up front, bear much of the risk that a program may not work as promised, and cannot readily switch vendors.
The Economist, 2003
Service oriented architectures • SOA compose different
services for complementary domains
• They are often base on stacks of service layers
• SOA services feature loose coupling that can be “orchestrated” according to some rules of “choreography”
Software ecosystems
• A software ecosystem is a set of businesses functioning as a unit and interacting with a shared market for software and services, together with relationships supported by a common technological platform
• Eg: Apple Application Store
Software architecture and engineering
Software architecture • The discipline of software architecture is centered on
the idea of reducing the design complexity of software systems through abstraction and separation of concerns
• The discipline has developed a number of design styles and patterns that help in designing or integrating software intensive systems
• However, it is hard to find sw architects who agree on the right way to architect a software system
• Wrong decisions in crafting the software architecture are a major cause of project cancellation
Software engineering
• Software Engineering is a discipline studying the methods to produce software, the theories at their basis, and the tools effective to develop and measure the qualities of software systems
• Software engineering deals with limited resources • It is a discipline strongly empirical, that is based
on experience and past projects (“Coloro che non conoscono la storia, sono condannati a ripeterla”)
Main problems
• Methods to analyze and design a software product • Architectural and design patterns • Software development processes and their models • Software development tools and environments • Economic issues • Products and process standards
Producing software is difficult • Complexity derives from
– Very fast technical innovation – Strong international competition – Psychological issues – Organizational issues – Professionals not trained on sw design and
development • Typical failures: bad project management, wrong
requirements, mediocre design • Stakeholders with contrasting interests • New projects start with high risks, scarcely
analyzed
Standish Report 2003
Productivity is low
• Analyzing 13.522 sw development projects in USA: – 66% out all projects fail (no useful result) – 82% out all projects need more time than
initially planned – 48% out all projects produce products
lacking some function required by the customers
– 55 G$ wasted in one year
Standish : 2004 vs 2009
Caper Jones on sw project failures
• As to project cancellations, we cover a wider range than Standish Group because they show only IT projects. We include embedded, systems software, web applications, IT, etc. There are some gaps because have no data from the game industry. Our data resembles Standish for IT cancellations, but the embedded and systems worlds are a bit better than the IT world due to more effective quality controls
• 10 function points = 1.86% cancels 100 function points = 3.21% 1000 function points = 10.14% 10000 function points = 31.27% 100000 function points = 47.57%
• The canceled projects are usually late and over budget when the plug is pulled. On average a canceled project is about 10% more expensive than a successful project of the same size and type
The software process
Stakeholders
Typical stakeholders in a sw process – Designers – Management – Technicians – Decisors – Users – Funding people – …
Each stakeholder has a specific viewpoint on the product and its development process
Process • Development processes are created and
adapted to different project situations • Both products and processes can be
evaluated for their quality • Software needs several different layers of
development process: – Industrial lifecycle – Design lifecycle (reqs, build, test) – Module lifecycle – Operational lifecycle (eg.: portal)
A history of software processes
The software process • Software process: set of roles,
activities, and artifacts necessary to create a software product
• Possible roles: designer, developer, tester, maintenance, ecc.
• Possible artifacts: source code, executables, specifications, comments, test suite, etc.
Models for the software process
• Waterfall model (planned, linear) • Spiral model (planned, iterative) • Agile model (unplanned, user driven)
4+2 views SCM: sw configuration management, ALM: application lifecycle management
Activities
• Each organization differs in products it builds and the way it develops them; however, most development processes include: – Specification – Design – Verification and validation – Evolution
• The development activities must be modeled to be managed and supported by automatic tools

Summary • Software is a business, but it is not like other
businesses • Software products are both the programs and
their documentation, included process documentation
• A software process is a set of roles and activities to develop a software product
• Software engineers should use effective tools and methods based on principles scientifically and ethically correct
Self test questions
• What categories of “software” you know”? • What are they differences? • What are the main problems in the
production of software? • Where can I find a specific paper on a
specific software architecture topic?
