A successful automated software quality process must occur throughout the development life cycle.
Its acquisition strategy succeeds where many others have failed; expect a new need for process in IT development units to keep it going through bad times.
Program corpus analysis is important in the optimization of runtime systems. Conventional linguistic analysis is static in nature and cannot reflect dynamic behaviors revealed by versatile object-oriented programming languages. The authors propose a pattern-based runtime profiler in Part 1 of this article.
When the architecture is designed from the get-go with future growth in mind, applications developed early in a dot.com's life may be both reusable and scalable.
Pattern-Oriented Software Architecture offers developers the means to consult with the successful architects who came before them, and whose best practices can point to solutions that have previously been applied successfully.
As corporate IT's integration activities continue to accelerate and consume an increasingly large piece of the budgetary pie, EJBs can offer a more rapid component-based integration solution for the J2EE environment.
A trustworthy, reusable component will clearly advertise the set of services it provides in its interface. More information can be gained about how to use a service by examining an operation's signature and accompanying comments.

For example, rummaging around in the implementation to discover whether or not a Video Rental Abstract Data Type (ADT) allows customers to rent more than 10 videos defeats the purpose of an interface. Design by Contract (DBC) promotes techniques for strengthening the semantics of classes and their properties right from their inception.
