Software warehouse: its design management and application

To have an effective and efficient mechanism to store, manage and utilize software sources is essential to the automation of software engineering. The paper presents an innovative approach in managing software resources using software warehouse where software assets are systematically accumulated, deposited, retrieved, packaged, managed and utilized, driven by data-mining and OLAP technologies. The results lead to streamlined high efficient software development process and enhance the productivity in response to modern challenges of the design and development of software applications.
