Scorpus
Repository (SR) provides visibility into existing software
assets, their interrelationship, and the impact of any change. SR
conforms to OMG-RAS (Reusable asset specification) standard. Using
SR Software organizations can manage a collection of related software
artifacts as an asset for direct usage or variation by capturing
the complete knowledge associated with the asset as MetaData. The
Asset MetaData covers the solution description, context, usage rules,
inter asset relationship and variability points.
This helps the software organization retain knowledge by creating
assets in a standard form and further, during the usage or variation
time, helps find and recover the required knowledge. The Assets
in complete form provides visual inter asset relationship and allows
the users to drill down to the contents and access physical artifacts,
helping the users to analyze the impact of change.
SR equips the asset creators with the capability to harvest, create
and qualify assets by providing the required interfaces, harvesters
and workflows to make it available in a central repository for consumers
to use it directly or by varying them. SR provides a portal where
the users can perform keyword search or browse by the taxonomy and
asset type, once the assets are found they can be downloaded into
the design time environment for usage or variation.
The asset harvester (Miner) is part of SR, currently suitable for
harvesting .net/J2EE assets. The approval, qualification, requisition
and feedback workflows are customizable to suit the organization
structure and process.
Scorpus asset profiler is a facility provided by
Scorpus to ensure that the software organization 'will leave no asset
behind'. The profiler helps model the type of asset that needs to
be created or just profiled as relevant to the software organization.
The asset type can be profiled and used during the asset creation
stage. It is possible to create multiple profiles together to represent
a complete domain/solution.
