If you’re a developer or software architect, you want to use SMOSLT to keep yourself from being pulled off track by the wrong technologies.

Your problem is different, if you are the provider of one of those technologies that developers or software architects chose from. You want what your shop provides to be represented accurately. When developers and architects know how your product or service works, they can consume it properly and be happy customers.

How To Use SMOSLT to Position Your Product or Service

• Provide a SideEffect class that might represent how your product/service would score in a typical shop
• Provide tips and docs on how your prospective customers would improve specific scores using your product/service
• Compare your own scores to other products in a category, and show how and why yours provides an advantage
• Provide setup and admin/ops costs for others to create their own contextually accurate scores for your product/service
• Speed up setup and lower admin/ops costs in order to ratchet up your scoring in certain areas
• Improve docs and market presence to improve
  • RDD (ResumeDrivenDevelopment) scores, such as propelled GIT to prominence
  • ManagerSpeak scores (where IBM and Oracle scored highest for decades)
  • POLR scores (PathOfLeastResistance) where products such as maven and Apache web server gained their prominence

Caution to the timid:

As state elsewhere on this site, this application is not for the timid. I have attempted to make it drop dead simple scripted stuff for experienced java programmers. Which means it probably isn’t, just that I got it working on my box perfectly

Pre-Requirements

• computer with decent power and memory – whatever that means
• *nix shell, preferably a *nix box but at least having something like Cygwin if you are on a Windoze box
• Latest java 7 release installed and running on box
• Latest maven release installed and running on box
• Latest Eclipse Luna installed and running on box, with java7 installed as the default runtime
• You will need to have at least minimal java skills and eclipse familiarity
• Git installed and running on box
• bran new fresh eclipse workspace, such as a directory named […]/smoslt

Optional Pre-Requirements

• You will probably want ProjectLibre installed to view the completed schedules
• You will surely want Libre Office or Excel another program that is capable of viewing Excel files.

To Install

• cd to […]/smoslt or wherever your dedicated smoslt workspace is
• clone smoslt.init into your workspace using this command
  git clone git@bitbucket.org:datafundamentals/smoslt.init.git
• cd into smoslt.init
• run source init.sh or ./init.sh or whatever your favorite way to run init.sh as a shell script
  This will download 200+ megs into your ~/.m2/repository directory, so it may take a while
  I have had to run this twice in a row to get it to run perfectly. (It will only download once, though.)
• If you want the full source code for the entire app rather than just the part you want to consume, instead of init.sh above, run initfull.sh
• Go to your eclipse workspace and using the import command, import some or all of these projects into your workspace.
  At minimum, you will need these:
  • smoslt.main
  • smoslt.given
  • smoslt.mprtxprt

To Run

• Find the smostl.main/[…]/smoslt.main/Main class
• Run it, using right click Run as Java Application
  This won’t cause anything real to happen, but at least it will set up your Run Configuration
• Go to the Run Configuration and add these arguments to the run config
  Run Configuration > Arguments tab > Program Arguments
  -l myRunName -f […pathtoworkspace…]/smoslt.given/src/test/resources/smoslt.pod
  where myRunName is any string, and the -f argument is a path to a SMOSLT compliant ProjectLibre file
