SaaS - Ch 1 - Introduction

Indenpendent Products vs. Continuous Improvement

 

HW

-HW designs must be finished before manufactured and shipped

 

SW 

- long lasting

- Expect SW gets better over time

- bugs: wait for upgrade

 

Legacy Code 

(continues to meet customers' needs, but difficult to evolve)

- add new functionality to legacy SW

- bug fixing

 

Beautiful Code

(Meet customers' need, and easy to evolve)

 

Waterfall vs. Agile

Earlier catch bugs, cheaper it is

Continuous improvement vs. Phases

Deliver working incomplete prototype undtil customers happy

 

Testing

Unit test -> Single method does what was expected

Module or functional test -> across individual units

Integration test -> interfaces between units have consistent assumptions, communicate correctly

System or acceptance test - integrated program meets its specifications

Coverage -> precentage of code paths

Regression Testing -> automatically rerun old tests

Continuous Integration Testing -> 

 

Formal Methods -> extremely expensive

 

Productivity

Raise the level of abstraction

- High level programming language

- automatic memory management (java vs c)

- scripting languages (reflection, metaprogramming)

 

Reuse

- procedures and functions

- standardized libraries

- object oriented programming

- Design patterns - reuse general strategy

 

Automation and Tools

- New tool (e.g. make)

- concerns with new tools (dependability, UI quality)

 

DRY

"Every peice of knowledge must have a single, unambiguous, authoritative, representation with in a system." - Andy Hunt & Dava Thomas

Dont repeat yourself

Dont copy and paste code

 

Software as a Service

Traditional SW: binary code installed and runs wholly on client device

SaaS delivers SW & data as service over Internet vis thin program (e.g. browser) running on client device (socil networking, search)

 

SaaS version of traditional SW (MS Office 365)

 

SaaS Architecture

- All components are designed to be services

- Apps composed of interoperable services

 

SaaS Infrastructure

Clusters -> commodity computers connected by commodity Ethernet switches

            -> more scalable than conventional servers

            -> Virtual Machine Monitors simplity operation
