• A major effort at improving productivity at TRW led to the creation of the software productivity project, on SPP, in 1981. The major thrust of this project is the establishment of a software development environment to support project activities; this environment is called the software productivity system, or SPS. It involves a set of strategies, including the work environment; the evaluation and procurement of hardware equipment; the provision for immediate access to computing resources through local area networks; the building of an integrated set of tools to support the software development life cycle and all project personnel; and a user support function to transfer new technology. All of these strategies are being accomplished incrementally. The current architecture is Vax-based and uses the Unix operating system, a wideband local network, and a set of software tools. This article describes the steps that led to the creation of the SPP, summarizes the requirements analyses on which the SPS is based, describes the components which make up the SPS, and presents conclusions.
