Crosstalk : The Journal of Defense Software Engineering, June 2007; Volume 20, Issue 6 : Cots Integration: COTS Integration

By Johnstun, Kase

Summary
Summary: CrossTalk, The Journal of Defense Software Engineering, is an approved U.S. Department of Defense journal. CrossTalk's mission is to encourage the engineering development of software in order to improve the reliability, sustainability, and responsiveness of our warfighting capability and to inform and educate readers on up-to-date policy decisions and new software engineering technologies.

Description
Description: The authors use anecdotal evidence from interviews to discuss source of hidden costs of COTS-based systems and strategies to manage these; this article discusses some basic, but often-neglected factors, affecting COTS selection and use; in this article, the author briefly describes the Avionics Integration Support Facility and then discusses several examples of how it is using COTS to reduce maintenance costs and improve performance; this article presents the success story of the selection of a new COTS product for testing operational flight programs; this article discusses the use of Java in mission-critical, real-time systems; this article addresses the amount spent on verification with a quantitative cost analysis model; this author outlines four software exploitation categories that should be considered before a software product is released.
