After purchasing togethersoft, Starbase, and Boldsoft, Borland started the first acquisition of the first two years since the beginning of 2005: teraquest. Chris Barbin, senior vice president of Borland, said that Teraquest has chosen from many companies, mainly considering the company's CMM experience. Borland intends to integrate Teraquest expertise in its application lifecycle management tool, process, and service, such as change management, project planning, and demand collection. The acquisition also means that Borland has the CMM's authors: Bill Curtis and Charlie Webber. Curtis has been appointed the chief processor of Borland, which is responsible for helping Borland's software and services towards the CMM / CMMI model. On February 7, Borland announced the release of Borland Core SDP (Software Delivery Platform, software delivery platform), ie "themis". Boz Elloy, Senior Vice President, believes that this is another milestone that Borland moves toward SDO (Software Delivery Optimization, software delivery optimization), providing customers with truly valuable software, must removing "not" failing " Collaboration "Factors, Borland Core SDP is a role-based collaborative development platform. It seems that development tools are gradually transforming from "machine-oriented" to "customer-oriented". Just as Bill Curtis said for last month's acquisition, "Not because we are fine from CMM, but we are refined to assist people's implementation processes that can achieve full business interests." Microsoft reaffirmed that Visual Studio 2005 Beta 2 will be in the first The quarter completed and disclosed version of the CTP (Community Technology Preview), promised to provide "More Team System Components", which is worth noting that Microsoft's ISV partner product: Versant's Open Access .NET, an object Relationship Mapping Tool Seamlessly integrated into Visual Studio and SQL Server; Eiffel Software's Eiffel Studio, based on simplified version of UML and Eiffel language, as a Plugin for Visual Studio 2005. Recently, the Forrester Research Center also released two reports named: "The 'model driver' than MDA is more useful" and "the appeal based on mode development". This report is based on survey results of 389 IT organizations. The report pointed out that many IT organizations are very interested in OMG MDA, but they tend to choose more practical methods, such as model drive development MDD. MDD reduces the strict requirements of MDA and provides more practical value for model-driven conversions - MDA is still on the road. The report "Attractivity Based on Mode Development" is pointed out that the mode encapsulates the support of "best practice", and the model is based on the model development model to solve some particular problems in the vertical field. Compuware, which has been playing the MDA flag, continues to publish the new version of Optimalj 3.3. On January 24, Compuware also announced alliances with demand tool manufacturers SteelTrace, integrated with both products Optimalj and Catalyze, overwriting the entire application development life cycle. Catalyze uses various needs to organize use cases, and this is another Optimalj model driver, based on the starting point of mode development.
On February 4, THOUGHTWORKS's management director MURRAY WHITE wrote a 2005 software development trend, including: Software organization continued to rise on agile development; SOA and custom development became popular; open source became the entrance of "global innovation network" The outsourcing will benefit from agile development and open sources. The final number of finalists in the 15th Jolt Award has been announced that this award has become a wind direction of the introduction of books since it is known from the domestic understanding. In the Software book of this book class, Steve Cook et al. "Software Factories" in a bunch of "agile" old faces, this book expounds the DSL-based software factory ideas, as well as model automation, production Application of new technologies such as AOP, CBD, SOA in software factories.
