The strategic goal of this research is to investigate the effectiveness of agile development techniques - such as test- and feature-driven design, refactoring, and short, rapid design iterations - in the production of high-integrity GRID middleware. This will be accomplished by re-engineering parts of Globus 3.0 using high-integrity techniques, and by providing a more abstract interface to the GRID services abstraction layer. Agile development techniques are essential in addressing the specific concerns of building high-integrity GRID middleware. Top-down processes are not appropriate for building such middleware. Specific requirements like short time-to-release, the instability of legacy code and integration applications, the lack of central control, and the need for frequent refactoring because of changing infrastructure - are all addressed by agile approaches. Agile techniques may also be applicable for building high-integrity GRID middleware, because of their emphasis on test- and analysis-driven development, which can improve dependability.
