While the big three make bloated and heavy-duty databases, Pervasive makes "ultra light" or tiny databases, which are included as features of a larger software product.
To show the benefits of the promotion technique, we calculate the reuse ratio of a feature in a large scale software product line.
The disruption opened the door to a more diversified economy based, in large degree, on software products and services, and a culture that celebrates collaboration and information-sharing.
It's hard to say in the middle of the transition, but one or both needs to figure out a way to get one or two of its large, higher-margin software products on double-digit growth trajectory, so that obsolescing cash flows become less of a threat to margins, and fade into being a more comfortable headache from the past.
The authors provide a rather large set of software products they claim were developed with the Butterfly model, but do not provide much detail about what this meant in practice.
Successful SPLs are possible both in large and small organisations and systems [15, 20], whereas agile methods are just one subset of the means to achieve and improve agility in large-scale software product development e.g. [5, 9, 14, 49, 50].
Last August Oracle, an American software giant, bought control of i-flex, India's largest exporter of software products—in its case, banking systems.
Kettunen and Laanti [P11] also have various pragmatic suggestions on how agile methods could be used in large-scale embedded software products based on industrial experience.
In large software organizations with a product line development approach, system test planning and scope selection is a complex task.
Software products, especially large applications, need to continuously evolve, in order to adapt to the changing environment and updated requirements.
