Abstract The development of (protocol) software (SW) has to be done from an engineer's point of view. By applying methods of project management, the process of software engineering can be scheduled, controlled and monitored. Since future systems will rely on well proven features, characteristics and methods of existing systems, it is obvious that the same applies to the employed SW. To enable 3G/4G systems to benefit from today's programmer's work, certain 'rules' have to be followed. Congruously, this paper firstly points out general steps within the SW development process, quality aspects and a CASE (Computer Added Software Engineering) tool called SPEET (SDL based Performance Evaluation Environment and Tools), and secondly applies these worksteps by presenting a method for Designing Generic and Adaptive Protocol Software (DGAPS).
