Where academic tradition
meets the exciting future

Development andExperimentation in an Academic Environment: The Gaudí Factory

Ralph-Johan Back, Luka Milovanov, Ivan Porres, Development andExperimentation in an Academic Environment: The Gaudí Factory. Systems and Software. Elsevier. , 2007.

Abstract:

In this article, we describe an approach to empirical software engineering based on a combined
software factory and software laboratory. The software factory develops software
required by an external customer while the software laboratory monitors and improves the
processes and methods used in the factory. We have used this approach during a period of
five years to define and evaluate an agile software process. This process combines practices from
Extreme Programming with architectural design and improved documentation
in order to find a balance between agility, maintainability and reliability.
