Do we really have to change the way we write software? A change is usually needed if you are being plagued with errors that
affect the customer.. Fortunately, the
required change can be as gradual as needed. The Programmable Software
Development Environment can prepare source code that is totally compatible with
previously developed software and in most cases, it can be used to test previously developed
software.
Will I continue to write programs in C++? Yes,
but not as often. The vast majority of the C++ code will be contained in
the kits. These kits can be used to form a
baseline with a long life without change and
will greatly simplify the development and
maintenance tasks.
What about GUI’s? The
Programmable Software Development Environment was never intended for the design of GUI’s. There are many
good visual based tools to accomplishing this
task. Significant design and test benefits can
be obtained by restricting the GUI objects to
the presentation and receipt of data. The
Programmable Software Development Environment
is then used to efficiently develop and test
the data processing routines.
Can we write programs
for different source language?
Yes! Software parts can be made to
produce any source language that is defined by
an ASCII text file. Furthermore,
these parts and their libraries can be designed
such no change in the product definition files
will be required to change the output source
language or operating system.
How will it affect our customers? The
use of standard kits will greatly improve the quality and reliability
of the product. Kits for the detection of, minimizing the damage from
and reporting execution failures have been designed which greatly
reduce the time required to correct a problem discovered at the
customer site.
What about different development environments?
The Programmable Software Development
Environment can be used with any common IDE
such as Microsoft Visual Studio.Net.
The Monte-Carlo test capability is usable in any development environment in
which an executable can be created (compiled, linked, etc)
from the command line.
What about ISO9001? The
Programmable Software Development Environment can be of great benefit to an ISO9001 quality program.
-
Involving QA in the development
of the kits will give them a very proactive role in the quality of the product.
-
The user organization
has complete control of all aspects of the engineering process. There is no needed for a “partnership”
with What If We or any other organization.
