Development Environment Risks

Risks
The project team does not have access to a process management tool.
The project team has little access to design and analysis tools.
Popular design and analysis tools are not appropriate
for development of the PPF.
Compatibility between the KCC and egcs compilers may be problematic.
Cross platform compatibility may prove problematic.
The project members have no experience debugging threads
on the sp2 or Digital Unix platform.
Thread debuggers for all platforms may not be available.
Mitigation
Process management can be accomplished by use of programs
such as Microsoft Project run on a separate machine than that used
for the project.
The PPF project does not warrant any special tools for design
or development, design should be rather straightforward as the library
has relatively few use cases.
Again the nature of the PPF project does not require
the use of extravagant design and development tools.
All code for the PPF must follow the C++ standard.
Continuous builds on all target platforms will ensure
compatibility at every step of the development process.
Project members must research debugging methods for threads
on the sp2 and Digital Unix platform.
In the case that an adequate debugger is not found, the
threads can be debugged separately from the running code using a traditional
debugger.
