A.1 Introduction

This appendix describes a case study architecture for a test results reporting system (TRRS). The TRRS is a software system initiative that is intended to help software developers resolve incompatibilities between reusable components. The application vision is further explained in [Weiler 1999]. This appendix begins with a description of the system concept within the context of UML. Next, the target architecture is defined as an Open Distributed Processing system specified in UML. The target architecture provides secure database access for a community of software developers and vendors via the Internet. The architectural prototype is described as a Java language application, specified in UML.
