Application of methodologies and approaches for the development of domain-specific software in the context of Digital Government

Abstract

This paper presents a set of tools, approaches and strategies to help solve the problems that governments face in meeting the challenges of driving a digital transformation. Governments develop Digital Government initiatives with the objective of seeking answers in tools and/or development approaches. From the perspective of an institution, in the context of Digital Government, it is desirable to achieve software reuse in a systematic way in order to achieve benefits associated with using previously built artifacts in each new development that is performed. For software reuse to be systematic, development processes should address the collective construction of families of products related to a domain [21]. On the other hand, to be in line with the business model and processes, a development approach that focuses on a specific business domain should be considered. This is why, in the short and medium term, the need for a revolutionary change in the way software is written is evident. Modernization can be both strategic and technical and institutions must be prepared when the opportunity arises. Modernization is primarily about reengineering to take advantage of the benefits of modern architectures and platforms. This paper discusses approaches and methodologies that enable the development of domain-specific software for Digital Government.
