Abstract

This paper presents a survey that identifies lead-time consumption in the development and evolution of distributed real-time systems DRTSs. Data has been collected through questionnaires, focused interviews and non-directive interviews with senior designers. Quantitative data has been analyzed using the Analytic Hierarchical Process (AHP). A trend in the 11 organizations is that there is a statistically significant shift of the main lead-time burden from programming to integration and testing, when distributing systems. From this, it is concluded that processes, tools and technologies that either reduce the need for or the time for testing have an impact on the development and evolution of lead-time of DRTSs.
