So, what are we showing?
Well, asset reuse is an essential strategy for companies looking to create innovative solutions to solve complex software development problems. Searching for, identifying, updating, using, and deploying software assets can be a difficult challenge. An effective reuse strategy allows you to:
- Harvest existing artifacts and build and share assets to mitigate costs and productivity concerns for analysis, development, and testing.
- Coordinate and control assets and intellectual property, determining what is shared, versioned, and visible for others to use.
- Understand the relationships between and impact of assets, such as the relationship between development time assets and the relationship to infrastructure assets.
- Govern assets across communities -- for example, one community describing needs and another community realizing needs and submitting solutions to repository.
- Govern service development and publishing into a service registry.
- Track assets effectively across an organization.
The briefing provides a high level overview of RAM and RSA - tools that can help you address the components of a successful reuse strategy. Discussions and demos introduce key software asset management definitions, challenges and solutions, including strategies and tools that can be leveraged for a successful project.
