Java Solutions Overview
Effectively combines tools, services, and expertise
into a practical solution for implementing Automated
Error Prevention throughout your entire Java development
cycle.
We Make Software Work
Parasoft Solutions for the Java?Programming Language
seamlessly incorporate error prevention tools, methodologies,
and services into the Java development process,
ensuring that the software you produce works.
When software programs in our communications systems,
appliances, and vehicles have errors, those systems
may stop working altogether. Errors don抰 just mean
an inconvenience; they mean that the tools and systems
we use on a daily basis don抰 function. When this
leads to loss of revenue, productivity, or market
share, inability to respond to customers, or even
negative publicity, then errors in software applications
are no longer an issue of quality control but of
functionality and business assurance. Companies
must implement proactive error prevention strategies
throughout the entire development lifecycle to ensure
application reliability and functionality.
The Parasoft Java Solution
Parasoft Solutions for the Java?Programming Language
fit into any development process with a minimum
of disruption. They improve how organizations build
software by placing a transparent layer on top of
key development processes, allowing error prevention
and monitoring techniques to be integrated into
the full production lifecycle of any software development
project. Every role and task in the Java software
development lifecycle is identified and brought
under an automated error prevention process that
uses source control and nightly build systems in
conjunction with proven error prevention techniques
?coding standards, unit testing, regression testing,
and Design-by-Contract??to prevent development and
testing errors.
Parasoft enhances these proven techniques by implementing
a fully automated solution organized around the
main roles in Java software development. Each of
these roles ?Developers, Architects, and Project
Managers ?is equipped with the tools and procedures
that enable active participation in the prevention
of errors throughout the entire software development
lifecycle.
Java Developers ?Each Developer is equipped
with the tools needed to automate error prevention
practices. Parasoft tools improve Developer productivity
and work as filters to your source control system
so that corrupt or incomplete code cannot get from
the Developer into the source code repository.
Java Architects ?Each Architect is equipped
with the tools needed to control which coding standards,
unit tests, and regression tests are used during
development, nightly builds, and unit testing. The
Architect can customize these techniques to meet
the needs of a particular Developer, Development
Team, or Project.
Reports from nightly builds provide Architects
vital information that allows them to continually
monitor all phases of the development process, from
initial software coding to full application deployment.
Using these reports, Architects can ensure that
sufficient unit and regression tests are created
and utilized, and that nightly builds are correctly
integrated into the testing process to consistently
ensure the structural and functional integrity of
the application.
Java Product Managers ?Each Project Manager
receives nightly reports that provide a detailed
picture of the overall health of the development
lifecycle. Through these reports, Project Managers
can verify that each Developer and Architect is
adhering to the error prevention process and that
nightly builds are using only valid, checked-in
code. At a single glance, management has all necessary
information to make important decisions concerning
application deliverables, key production dates,
and development milestones.
The solution leverages interaction and communication
between roles in the development lifecycle so that
work is not duplicated or lost but fully utilized.
This effectively and dramatically reduces the amount
of time and effort spent in producing, testing,
and deploying Java applications.
Parasoft's Automated Error Prevention Methodology
For the Java software development lifecycle, Parasoft
Solutions for the Java?Programming Language is a
logical and practical application of W. Edwards
Deming抯 Principles of Total Quality Management (TQM).
Parasoft finds errors in your development process,
correlates each error to the production process
that is responsible for introducing the error, implements
practices to prevent the error from reoccurring,
introduces practices and metrics for measuring error
rates during all stages of development, and monitors
all quality improvements.
Parasoft's Java SolutionImplementation in Five
Easy Steps:
- Evaluation ?Parasoft抯 Professional Services
team evaluates your development procedures and
processes, gaining an intimate understanding of
your overall manufacturing methods and identifying
their weaknesses.
- Customization ?Parasoft customizes the
solution to fit your development process. The
goal is to improve your existing development process
?Parasoft solutions do not revolutionize your
processes but rather help your already established
software development cycle evolve. Put simply
?Parasoft improves the way you make software.
- Automation ?Parasoft automates needed
error prevention procedures and build them into
your development process, source control systems,
and nightly build processes. For companies without
established source control systems or nightly
build processes, such systems and processes can
be built and implemented ? using open source applications
?as part of the complete automation process.
- Training ?Parasoft trains and mentors
all members of your organization to ensure that
they understand the value of the automated error
prevention process so that they can use the tools
and techniques effectively and independently.
- Reports ?Parasoft creates the reports
you need to help you maintain and use your solution
by customizing standard report templates to your
specifications, delivering them as the final stage
in the implementation.
