Fusion GPS ExternalizationPilot Training 1/5/2011

Lydia M. NaylorResearch Lead

Project Concept: Fusion GPS Externalization Pilot

• Problem/Opportunity– Externalize our patterns and guidelines so that customers can use

them when extending their Oracle products – Before we do this we need to understand• How customers will use them• How useful they are to customers• What they will need to be successful• What we would have to provide to make this work

• Solution– Run a pilot with a customer who is in the process of extending their

Oracle products

• Charter– Observation, NOT Design

Fusion GPS Pilot: Research Objectives

• What’s the environment the patterns/guidelines are used in– LLNL’s design + development process, project goals, user roles

• What patterns/guidelines do you use• How do you use them• How useful are they

– Developers feedback– Our assessment of design– End user feedback on design

• What do you need to be successful– What information is missing?– What type of training/support do you need to use the information?– Would additional design or usability support be useful?

• What do we need to provide to make this work

Fusion GPS Pilot: Research Project Scope

• Support 3 LLNL development projects– Representing a mix of experienced and new JDev/ADF developers

• Timing– Start: early Jan 2011 (Today)– End: Determined by quality/quantity of data collected and

development project duration

• What we will provide LLNL– External secured pilot site of Fusion GPS (guidelines, patterns, and

standards)– GPS forum and support– GPS training– No design
