This report discusses experiences applying and enhancing AspectJ for a middleware product line at IBM. The purpose of this
effort was to apply Aspect Oriented Programming to cleanly separate components from their execution platforms, while still
allowing them to take advantage of platform-specific facilities for aspects such as error handling, performance monitoring,
and logging. It presents the evolution of the design, implementation, tools support, and approaches used to achieve organizational
buy in.

Five years of framework building: lessons learnedKurt Madsen, MetaTech, Inc., madsen@tampabay.rr.com When developing large software systems, it is often difficult to foresee exactly which trade-offs are important, and which quality parameters will be of importance down the road. This paper reports experiences from a project in which a large application framework for B2B integration has been continuously developed and used over a five year period. The framework has been the foundation for a variety of different concrete applications; here we will report on our experiences from this endeavor. |

Agile Regression Testing Using Record & PlaybackGerard Meszaros,
ClearStream Consulting,
gerard.meszaros@acm.org There are times when it is not practical to hand-script automated tests for an existing system before one starts to modify it (whether to refactor it to permit automated testing or to add new functionality). In these circumstances, the use of “record & playback” testing may be a viable alternative to hand-writing all the tests. This paper describes experiences using this approach and summarizes key learnings applicable to other projects. |
