Use as starting point for DA of kits: Collect and analyze information about various kits, value of features etc.
GENERAL:
Kit Name: Style: Purpose: Application User: Features of Merit: (coherence, ease of use, evaluability of results, distance from problem space, ... "compression") Notes: Interoperability with other kits Sub-kits used
ANALYSIS: A two dimensional (matrix) model was chosen with kit elements on the vertical axis and element attributes on the horizontal axis.
"kit elements" (work products list:) components architecture framework domain specific language glue generator builder tests end user document maintenance document kit use documents domain model feature set rationale generic application glue language Element (workproduct) attributes: present? completeness openness (includes openness of applications and of the kit itself) domain specificity binding time source (provided in kit, created, written by user) Application Engineering Life Cycle stage (How/when this element is used? -- problem, solution, implementation)
