Web Service Software Factory Modeling Edition Roadmap
Web Service Software Factory Modeling Edition Roadmap
Don Smith has published the September Drop of the new Web Service Software Factory Modeling Edition (formerly known as Service Factory v3). This drop contains only a newer version of the Service Factory Documentation, and can be found here.
Along with this drop, Don has updated the roadmap page for this software factory. Here are the highlights from this page:
- The final community release of the Web Service Software Factory Modeling Edition is planned for October 30th, 2007.
- This release contains the Service Contract Designer, Data Contract Designer and Host Designer.
- The WSDL Import feature will not be included in this release.
- The Data Access Guidance Package (Repository Factory) and the Security Guidance Package that were part of the December 2006 release of the Service Factory will not be included.
- The release will work on Visual Studio 2005 Team Editions only (Standard and Professional not supported).
- Support for Visual Studio 2008 is planned for a later release, after the final release of Visual Studio 2008. There may be drops along the way.
- Team System Rosario will ship with a Software Factory Platform built into it, and drops of the Service Factory built on top of this platform will ship up in the future CTPs of Rosario.
Enjoy!
