Abstract:
Software engineers have been attempting for many decades to produce or assemble software in a more industrial way. Such an approach is currently often associated with concepts like Software Product Lines and Software Factories. The monitoring, management, and control of such factories is mainly based on a methodology called DevOps. Though current DevOps environments are quite advanced and highly automated, they are based on many different technologies and tools. In this contribution, it is argued that more integrated software manufacturing control systems are needed, similar to control systems in traditional manufacturing. This paper presents a scope, overall architecture and prototype implementation of such an integrated software manufacturing control system. Several detailed scenarios are elaborated that can leverage such integrated control systems to optimize the operations, and improve both the quality and output of modern software factories. The preliminary findings and results of this control system are presented and discussed.
