The Application Engineering User's Guide describes these tasks in detail. From the application engineers' perspective, the structure of the Adaptable Components is determined by the tools with which they access the structure. These tools may or may not hide the actual structure. The Application Engineering Environment must facilitate application engineers being able to unambiguously locate, evaluate, and extract work products. All Adaptable Components produced during Component Implementation Activities are accessible.
Automated mechanisms contain no residual errors.
The Process Support Development Activity consists of all activities necessary to create appropriate Process Support for an application engineering work product family. You perform this activity for each work product family, augmenting the User's Guide and Application Engineering Environment, to support the new or revised work product families. In many respects, this activity involves work which is similar to that of a conventional software development project. The Process Support Development Activity consists of the two steps shown in Figure 3.2-1. Process Support Development Process Procedure Follow these steps for the Process Support Development Activity.
