Smalltalk-Specific Needs

Satisfy intent, not letter of corporate "in the waynesses":
- Archive your Smalltalk repository as a whole, rather than adhering
tightly to an
archive policy that mandates control of each "file".
- A simple interface to stdin
can allow your Smalltalk system to be constructed from within a central
make file,
if that is a dictate.
- Synchronize your iterative process with the major milestones of
corporate waterfall
processes.
- This will be difficult early, when the traditional process expects
reams of requirements/design
documents. Satisfy them (in the short term) with reams of automatically
generated
templates, while continuously improving your internal documentation.
- This will be trivial later, when your documentation is realistic and
synchronized
with your code, and when your implementation is far ahead of normal
waterfall expectations.
"...but reality dictates that we must evolve a means
of interacting successfully with
them." [panel
93.3] Isolate legacy systems, by:
- Minimizing coupling -- make extensive use of lazy caching, so that
your system can
change independently of the legacy system.
- Keeping legacy interface narrow and shallow: a minimum number of
methods that are
relatively independent of specific legacy state.
- Providing a pluggable "legacy isolation" layer that
encapsulates the legacy system
and transforms it to the object system.
Maintain accountability of code that you assume is stable. Don't let
"cowboy coders"
into your base image!
