Assessing JBoss: Integration

Integrating a new open source product into the existing software stack is vitally important. However, it is also organization-specific. Each company has its own software infrastructure into which the new product must be integrated. For that reason, the OSMM integration maturity example described here reflects an idealized software stack. This example is used to demonstrate the process that would be used for a real-world software infrastructure. Therefore, the evaluation methods identified in the Integration Assessment Checklist (see Table 9.3) document the basic process used for an integration assessment. In your actual use of the checklist, each method would probably have a number of notes, reflecting your findings ...
