  6. Infrastructure

  7. SOA MigrationRe-Architecture Approach • Perform “black-box” conversion • Preserve existing functionality, look and feel on top of new infrastructure • No loss of functionality • Deployed system current with deployed AWIPS capability (i.e., OB9) • Thorough field validation and acceptance before deployment • Use open source projects - No proprietary code • JAVA and open source projects enable AWIPS II to be platform and OS independent • ADE enables collaborative development • OS, Platform independence allows non-Linux based research to be easily integrated into AWIPS II

  9. Government Activities

  10. SOA MigrationTesting Approach • Purpose: • Provide feedback to Raytheon on TO software deliverables • Improve software quality in support of OT&E and Deployment • Layered Approach • IV&V (Independent Verification & Validation) • Testing Objective: Push the system; Test to break • Testing based on TO contents • Includes “menu mapping” exercise • UFE (User Functional Evaluation) • Testing Objective: Provide operational look at TO deliverables • Testing based on TO contents • Heavily focused on implementation variances of end-user functionality • OT&E (Operational Testing & Evaluation) • Testing Objective: Verify AWIPS-II operationally ready for deployment • Controlled testing environment at operational sites • Follows evaluation of TO11 http://www.nws.noaa.gov/ost/SEC/AE/Testing.htm

  11. AWIPS IITesting Status • IV&V • Continue to evaluate TO deliveries • Focusing on operational performance metrics • UFE • Conducted Forecaster Initial Testing • Evaluated software along side AWIPS • Assisted in developing operational scenarios • Continue to evaluate TO deliveries • Working side-by-side plan for TO11 testing • OT&E • Working OT&E plan • Signature Coordination, May 2009 • Expected to begin around November 30

  12. SOA MigrationTraining Approach • Purpose: • Ensure that developers able to utilize migrated software • Ensure that end-users able to configure, monitor, and administer system • Approach: • Development Organizations (GSD, MDL, OHD, SEC) planning and executing training • NWSTD involved in planning and executing operational training • Focus Areas: • Local Application Developer • Application Focal Point • System Administration http://www.nws.noaa.gov/ost/SEC/AE/Training.htm

  13. SOA MigrationTraining Status • Operational Training • Requirements Identified • Mechanism • Training for Trainers via Technical Interchange Meetings • Initial focus on preparing OT&E sites • Development Training • Completed

  14. SOA MigrationSite Migration Approach • Purpose: • Provide structured method to ensure local sites’ migration • Includes: • Local Application Migration • Site Migration • Application Configuration • Product Format Template Configuration • Approach: • Team (regions, HQ) plan/coordinate • Regions/Offices execute http://www.nws.noaa.gov/ost/SEC/AE/Site_Migration.htm

  15. AWIPS-II Site MigrationStatus • Local Application • NCLADT • Analyzed capabilities supporting local application migration in TO8 & TO9 • Provided input to Raytheon on capabilities provide (and to be provided) • Provided test cases supporting future TO deliveries • Developing a plan supporting local application migration based on TO10 capabilities • Site Migration • Identifying configuration/customization files within existing system • Identifying any changes resulting from SOA Migration activities • Investigating obtaining Raytheon assistance in this effort

  16. AWIPS-II GovernanceApproach • What is it? • Governance model controls the development, test, integration, configuration management, deployment and support of the new system -- both hardware and software • Why? • SOA offers new levels of flexibility and extensibility • New rules needed to exploit system capabilities, define limits • Tension between unlimited modifications and ability to support the baseline system http://www.nws.noaa.gov/ost/SEC/AE/Governance.htm

  17. AWIPS-II GovernanceStatus • Governance Sub-Teams • Release team • Working to document release paradigm • Concept includes • Monthly DR release • Quarterly “major” release • Local Application team • Began by reviewing existing policy • Restart in February, 2009 • Identify changes to policy and AIFM

  18. Getting Ready

  19. What can you do? • Focus on SOA Migration • Be Prepared • TO10 • Local application migration, including SmartTools • TO11 “Slices” • User Functional Evaluation • Side-by-side Testing • OT&E • Stay Informed • Weekly Topic Reports • Website Updates • http://www.nws.noaa.gov/ost/SEC/AE • Upcoming NWS Focus Articles
