Propose System Objects

Tracer Bullet

Development

Inspired by Ship It! (Richardson/Gwaltney), page 127

Propose System Objects

Identify application layers/modules

e.g. Client, Server, Database

Must be able to stand alone

Keep as coarse grained as possible

Must be able to justify isolated developer/team

Propose System Objects

Propose Interfaces

Tracer Bullet

Development

Inspired by Ship It! (Richardson/Gwaltney), page 127

Propose InterfacesDefine contract between system objects

Collaborative effort

Agree on method names, signatures

Stub out implementations (canned data)

Define how layers will talk (e.g. direct API calls, RMI, SOAP, OSGi, JMS)

System architecture “emerges”

Propose System Objects

Propose Interfaces

Connect Interfaces

Development

Inspired by Ship It! (Richardson/Gwaltney), page 127

Connect Interfaces

Implement interobject communication

Many issues will emerge - resolve them!

Now the tracer bullet can be fired!

Add Functions

Finally time to add real production code!

Developers/teams can work in isolation now

Work from high priority/high risk to low priority/low risk

Start to address performance problems

Interfaces will evolve

Add/change at any time, but...

No broken windows!!!

Within module, refactor mercilessly!

Between modules, must communicate!

TBD BenefitsTeams can work in parallel, independently

Can demonstrate “working” system earlier, providing feedback to you sooner

New features can be demonstrated immediately

Loosely coupled, highly cohesive modules

Encapsulation of module details

Enables automated integration testing

Enables interteam communication

Enables staff reallocation

OSGi Implementations

Equinox

PAX Tools for OSGi

PaxConstruct

Script-oriented toolkit for OSGi development

Similar to Rails/Grails development model

Built on Maven 2

PaxRunner

OSGi framework launcher

Facilitates quick start OSGi exploration

Facilitates swapping OSGi platforms (works with all major open source implementations)

Facilitates provisioning OSGi bundles from multiple sources

Magic behind “pax-provision” and PaxExam

PaxExamTesting toolkit for OSGi

Facilitates in-container integration testing of bundles

Flow:

Starts OSGi container of choice

Provisions and starts selected bundles

Injects OSGi BundleContext to your JUnit test

Executes a test method

Rinse and repeat until done!

Case Study

As a customer I can browse for speakers and select one so that I can reserve him/her.

As a customer I can reserve my chosen speakers at any Fluffbox location at which he/she is available so that I can pick him/her up.

As a kiosk, I can notify the reservation system when speakers are picked up/returned so that customers will have an up-to-date view of what speakers are available.

Refactor, Refine, RepeatMaybe change out plain JMS for Spring Integration solution

Maybe track spatial data on locations to enable mapping

Still need to add a payment system - another system object?

Our TBD system puts us in great position to address any of these and more!

Please fill out your evaluations!
