There’s been a lot of talk about IT and software “industrialization” lately — the idea that software development can be broken down into standardized, low-level, highly automated tasks that can mass produce applications on demand, at low cost.
At IBM’s Pulse event last week, IBM Tivoli’s Al Zollar said that IT industrialization is the next great phase in information technology. (I’ve been trying to get either a transcript or recording of Zollar’s speech to get more details, but IBM hasn’t been able to produce one up yet — so all I have for now is a press release.)
Nevertheless, there’s been thinking out there for some time that software development is evolving from a craft — painstakingly undertaken one project at a time — to a more of a mass production mode. How far along is that vision, and is it even an appropriate vision?

About time... we were there about 1990 with real CASE tools like IEF that generated code from models... then IBM blew it all away with the massive failure of AD-Cycle. If IBM is back on this again, make sure they get it righ this time.
