Excerpt from Nec: Standardization Strategy for a Distributed "Software Factory" Structure
As they made progress in process standardization, nec managers gradually changed emphasis to quality control and reusability of code as key ways to improve overall productivity. This shift in thinking can be seen in a 1986 interview, where Mizuno discussed the two components of his strategy for achieving continuous increases in productivity: (1) a rigorous quality control program to prevent errors, which become difficult and expensive to fix after a program is released to the customer; and (2) accumulation of knowledge about software engineering and passing this on to others through (a) reusable software modules, (b) reusable program patterns, and (c) bug or failure analysis and the development of better test rules and check points. Sea/i (alternately known as Software Engineer's Arms and System Engineering Architecture Mizuno considered a first step in the development of an automatic programming tool using this accumulation of knowledge concept.19 Thus, building upon process standardization and control as the foundation of a factory approach, Mizuno now explained the software factory as a concept for maximizing the accumulation of experience and capturing this experience in control systems, tools, and process inputs (reusable code or designs)

Paperback. Condición: New. Print on Demand. This book explores the history and evolution of software engineering practices at Japan's NEC Corporation, beginning in the 1950s. The author examines NEC's efforts to implement a "software factory" strategy, aiming to standardize and streamline software development processes for greater efficiency and quality. The book discusses the concept of distributed, product-centered factory systems, tracing their development and implementation at NEC, and highlighting the roles of key individuals and committees in shaping the company's approach. It also analyzes the tools, methodologies, and management systems developed and employed by NEC to support its software factory strategy, including STEPS (Standard Technology and Engineering for Programming Support) for applications software and SEA/l (System Engineering Architecture) for automated program generation. The book concludes by assessing the significance of NEC's software factory approach within the context of software engineering practices and its impact on the company's success as a major player in the global computer industry.
