Abstract

Active consideration of software support during acquisition, or development, is tantamount to successful software support. A key objective of the Air Force's new Integrated Weapon System Management (IWSM) philosophy is to ensure software supportability by making the same organization responsible for both software development and software support. A thesis effort performed at the Air Force Institute of Technology (AFIT) in 1993 assessed whether IWSM could meet this objective and what practices would result in improved software supportability. A literature review and survey of several programs designated as IWSM pilot programs concluded that the IWSM concept is indeed superior for software supportability, and that several practices used by the organizations surveyed can enhance supportability. Furthermore, the surveys and literature review suggested several additional practices that can further enhance the effectiveness of IWSM. A product of the AFIT study is a set of guidelines for ensuring supportability of software for IWSM systems. Although these guidelines were written specifically for IWSM, they will help all software managers more effectively consider software support during acquisition.<>

确保采办期间的软件可支持性:空军案例研究

在获取或开发过程中积极考虑软件支持等同于成功的软件支持。空军新的综合武器系统管理(IWSM)理念的一个关键目标是通过使同一组织负责软件开发和软件支持来确保软件的可保障性。1993年在空军技术学院(AFIT)进行的一项论文工作评估了IWSM是否能够满足这一目标，以及哪些实践将导致改进的软件可支持性。对指定为IWSM试点项目的几个项目的文献回顾和调查得出结论，IWSM概念确实优于软件可支持性，并且被调查的组织使用的一些实践可以增强可支持性。此外，调查和文献综述提出了一些额外的做法，可以进一步提高IWSM的有效性。AFIT研究的一个产品是一套指导方针，用于确保IWSM系统的软件可支持性。尽管这些指导方针是专门为IWSM编写的，但它们将帮助所有软件经理在获取过程中更有效地考虑软件支持。
