Tete-a-tete project: software engineering tools supporting understanding

V.P. Hrytsay, L.M. Zakhariya

Abstract


Software Understanding is necessary and the most important condition of essential reducing of software development cost. In this paper Tete-A-Tete Project is described which offers a radical rethinking of Software Development process and focuses on creating Understanding-Oriented Automated Software Engineering Tools. The project is based algebraic approach to the presentation of programs, which opens up the possibility of transformation and optimization programs. Implementation of the Tete-A-Tete Project will make it possible to build high quality software more quickly and with lower cost, than previously possible; will have essential impact on Software Reengineering and will lead to rethinking and rein-vention of the Chief Programmer Team in the form of the Software Director Team.
Познаваемость методов и средств разработки программного обеспечения является необходимым и наиболее важным условием сущест-венного снижения стоимости программных систем. В этой работе описывается проект Tete-A-Tete, который предлагает радикальное переосмысление процесса разработки программного обеспечения и направлен на создание ориентированных на познаваемость авто-матизированных средств разработки программных систем. В основе проекта лежит алгебраический подход к представлению программ, который открывает возможности трансформации и оптимизации программ. Реализация проекта Tete-A-Tete позволит создавать про-граммное обеспечение более высокого качества , быстрее и с меньшими затратами, чем это было возможно ранее; окажет влияние на Реинжининг Программного Обеспечения и приведет к переосмыслению и возврату к использованию Бригады Главного Программиста в виде Бригады Программного Режисера.
