We present archetypes based techniques we are using in developing of real life laboratory information management systems (LIMS) software and LIMS Software Factory. These archetypes based techniques utilize software engineering triptych together with archetypes and archetype patterns for software factories. Following the software engineering triptych, to write software we have to know requirements; to know requirements we have to know domain; to know the domain we have to analyze and model one. We call our techniques as Archetypes Based Development (ABD). In ABD the domain is analyzed according to Zachman Framework by asking questions what, how, where, who, when, and why. The domain model is developed by using the product (what), business process (how), organization structure (where), person (who), order and inventory (when), as well as rule (why) archetype patterns. We use the domain model analyzed and developed in this way as a domain specific language for prescribing requirements. In our understanding, with ABD it is possible to increase the dependability of developed software; reduce semantic heterogeneity of models and data types; improve the maturity of the development process; and lead developments of one-off software towards software factory.
