7. Introduction  A UI to monitor and visualize the health of a project  Calculate the health of the project using JBoss Rules  UI built using an RIA(Rich Internet Application) development environment, FLEX. 7Health of a Software Project.

8. Project Abstract  Animation of the process flow.  The system uses the existing database to collect data for the rules.  Calculating the health of a project.  System alerts may be generated. 88Health of a Software Project.

9. System Architecture 9 Health of a Software Project.

10. Previous work  UI built using Scalable Vector Graphics(SVG).  Displays status of process based on simple metrics.  Doesn’t compute health of project. 10Health of a Software Project.

11. 11 Health of a Software Project.

12. Requirements  Animation of a software process flow diagram.  Identify the set of rules that calculates the Health of the project.  Alerts. 12Health of a Software Project.

15. Technologies Used  FLEX :- Framework to build Rich Internet Application.  Papervision3d.:- An open source realtime 3d engine.  JBoss Rules :- A rule based inference engine.  MS SQL Server :- A relational Database Management System.  Tomcat Web Server:- A Web Container.  XML:- Flexible text format to carry data  Java Server Pages:-To trigger rules and generate XML. 15Health of a Software Project.

16. Rule Based Inference Engine  What is a rule based inference engine?  Why use a rule based inference engine? oDeclarative: what you want it to do, not how oLogic and data separation oScalability and Flexibility oUnderstandable Rules 16 Health of a Software Project.

17. What is production Rule system? Manages execution order of rules Conflict Resolution strategy Matches facts and data, against Production Rules to infer conclusions which result in actions. process of matching the new or existing facts against Production Rules 17 Health of a Software Project.

18. Steps to develop Rules 18 List the attributes Build rules in English, based on those attributes Define classes to represent facts Write rules in drl files to work with those facts 18Health of a Software Project.

19. Example: if-then-else equivalent Example: if-then-else equivalent If process status = active then Status = 1.0 Time elapsed so far in hours = (today – planned start) % complete so far = (value from the database) Planned % complete so far = (Time elapsed so far in hours / Adjusted total hours to work) If planned % complete so far > 10 then Status = (%complete / planned %complete so far) End if 19 Health of a Software Project.

20. Example: JBoss Rules equivalent Example: JBoss Rules equivalent rule "calculate status when activity active" salience 11 when act : Activity( activityState == "active", plannedPercentComplete > 10.0 ) then modify (act) { act.activityStatusValue = act.percentComplete / act.plannedPercentComplete } modify (act) { act.plannedPercentComplete = -1.0 } act.runQuery("update Capstone_workflow..ActivityData_1202484213721 set activityStatusValue = " + act.activityStatusValue + " where packageName ='" + act.packageName + "' and processName = " + act.processName + " and version = " + act.version + " and processInstanceName = " + act.processInstance + " and activityName = "+ act.activityName ) System.out.println (" :: Status Value = " + act.activityStatusValue); end 20 Health of a Software Project.
