Hallo, I'm trying to figure out which objects are produced during the software development process using the Ada language. With this set of objects I'd like to figure out how far parallel work during the developement process will be possible. My view is that usually during the high-level design the developer defines subsystems and interactions between subsystems. During low level design the abstract data types are defined using at least a Ada-like notation. As a result the declaration parts of an Ada package can be completed during high level design. Finally the package bodies are implemented by programmers. During testing the compilation untis are tested according to the dependencies of them. What is your opinion about objects produced during the development process using Ada ?? If this development process is used basically, how does a company actually produce software (I mean which tasks are fulfilled or performed in parallel and which sequential?). Is it possible to get detailed information on the actual development process in Ada where all phases of the life cycle work highly parallel? Or is it usual to start the low-level design only after the high-level design is completely finished and so forth (which would be very time-consumimg as the developer has to deal to incomplete specifications). Thanks in advance for your help. Bye Sanjay Dewal University of Dortmund Department of Computer Science Software Technology Laboratory Postbox 500 500 D-4600 Dortmund 50 W.Germany
