The dominant trend in software development is the globalisation of the software industry itself. This software development is faced with diverse problems, which can be solved by the adoption of new processes and techniques.
From the global competitiveness perspective, a global software platform with security is the most important product for the software industry to develop. The development of such a SW platform saves the time and cost because customised software can then be developed onto an existing platform which already has the general programming matters implemented in advance. In order to develop an effective new software platform, it is also very important to consider and understand how the current software business environment has influenced and affected the design of the current commonly available components.
In the modern cloud integrated software environment, it is difficult to achieve a global market share on the basis of software developed just for the domestic market. For this reason, our software industry needs to adopt a globalized approach and strategy in its development of application and software components that are aimed at the global market. In addition we need to make efforts to secure an effective global software platform. One possibility lies with Agile software which allows generation of the applicable code through direct interaction with clients and repetitive development. This is popping now as an alternative route for SW development based on the existing plan.
Recently world renowned companies such as Google, HP and Sun are utilizing the concept of “Open Source” which opens the program source code to the public. Open source make it possible for a great number of technicians to develop improved software in a shorter time by developing software in unison. The success of Agile software development depends upon effective interaction amongst the diversified teams.
A “Distributed Pair System” is a way to provide an environment conducive to the development of a global platform and software by introducing the concept of globalization and open source.
“Extreme Programming” (known as XP) is a methodology which is now at the leading edge of software development. XP is designed to simply program, in order to overcome the problems and risks which are associated with the rapidly changing nature of software development.
Considering the development process in the recent XP trend, we need to have a development system in which all the group members can readily cooperate with each other, while avoiding the restrictions imposed by the current cooperation framework which is in place between the existing developers. The existing “Distributed Pair Programming(DPP)” support system was established between the majority of the developers. Currently, with the emphasis on the user’s experiences, designers are participating in the planning, UI design, and development with developers. The importance of the development scope is being expanded with active communication between these two groups. For this, we present the concept of collaboration distributed pair programming(DPP) system incorporating high expandability which can better enable designers and developers share, plan and design the system. We plan and implement the system for distributed pair programming using screen sharing(collaboration).
In this study, system design is embodied by detailing the system development requirements for collaboration distributed pair programming system, based on the previous study, and showing the results which meet all the requirements by comparison of the current tools and CDDP system ranked by importance. For testing this suggested system programming, 4 estimation teams are assembled, different development tools are then designated, compared and rated by each team. Each team aimed at 62 module realization for 8 weeks and measured the time for module realization and the defect rate. From the results, comparing the team''s average performance on the suggested system to the other team''s, the deficiency rate and the average time for repairing deficiency are established. Furthermore, this study acquired the necessary variables for providing a service which users can easily utilize from the beginning process of collaboration distributed pair programming. Finally the study concluded that a user friendly environment should be implemented ahead of collaboration distributed pair programming.
This study presents the enhancements for system development by analysing the application of the current DPP tool to the current fragmented development environments, and studies the efficiency and quality of the software upgrades achieved in relation to the development organization.
According to these findings, we should expect a revitalization of distributed pair programming activity furthermore, which is not currently domestically active compared to overseas markets. In addition, it is appropriate to apply four aspects of the Agile model such as the interaction between software developers, operating software, cooperation with customers and countermeasure for the required change.
