App Types, Verticals, and Scenarios

1 June 2008 4 Comments

I think application  types, verticals, and scenarios are a helpful backdrop for product-line engineering.  You can use it to organize policies and requirements.  It’s a way to increase precision.  For example, it’s one thing to build a Web application.  It’s another to build a Web application for a financial institution.  How you implement security, performance, and other quality attributes has a lot to do with the application type and the scenario or context you are in.
