Extreme Maintenance

چکیده
This paper examines some of the problems experienced by IONA Technology’s Orbix Generation 3 maintenance and enhancement team and how the adoption of Extreme Programming has further improved the team’s ability to deliver quality support and enhancements to the products they work on. The issues identified and discussed are common issues for companies moving from the start-up pressures of time to market to those related to supporting large numbers of customers with bug fixes and enhancements to existing applications in existing deployment scenarios. The paper briefly reviews the history of the team’s development and maintenance practices prior to the implementation of the Extreme Programming practices. It then focuses on how Extreme Programming was implemented and used to resolve some of the identified problems. Results are detailed as both a qualitative view on the Extreme Programming project and the impacts on morale along with some of the quantitative analysis related to productivity and customer satisfaction. This experience has shown that Extreme programming is a viable and very successful model for teams involved in pure maintenance and enhancement of a legacy code base.

Extremophile culture collection from extreme area of Iran
The number of studies on extremophilic organisms has grown exponentially in the last few years. These exotic organisms (extremoplilees) are adapted to living at 100 c. In volcanic springs, at low temperatures in the cold polar seas, at high pressure in the deep sea, at very low and high ph values (ph 0-1 or ph 10-11) or at hight salt concentration (35%). Recent developments clearly show that ce...

متن کاملA Heuristic Statistical Model for Lifetime Distribution Analysis of Complicated Systems in the Reliability Centered Maintenance
A heuristic conceptual model for to develop the Reliability Centered Maintenance (RCM), especially in preventive strategy, has been explored during this paper. In most real cases which complicity of system obligates high degree of reliability, this model proposes a more appropriate reliability function between life time distribution based and another which is based on relevant Extreme Value (EV...
متن کاملRestoring surface fire stabilizes forest carbon under extreme fire weather in the Sierra Nevada
Climate change in the western United States has increased the frequency of extreme fire weather events and is projected to increase the area burned by wildfire in the coming decades. This changing fire regime, coupled with increased high-severity fire risk from a legacy of fire exclusion, could destabilize forest carbon (C), decrease net ecosystem exchange (NEE), and consequently reduce the abi...
متن کاملNew Approaches in Software Development
In the last few years we can meet modern approaches and concepts like agile methodologies, extreme programming and model-driven development in software development. These new approaches use methods and technologies that allow us to deliver valuable software products matching all requirements in time as well as decrease the cost of system operation and maintenance. Paper deals with some of these...
