UP's flexibility makes it appropriate for the wide variety of application development projects that Archer Software undertakes. In addition, UP focuses on reducing project risks and building in quality. These are critical attributes that help us to develop high-quality solutions that are cost-effective, reliable, and easy to maintain. We have a structured environment running set of tightly-integrated tools, including version and source control system, automatic build, requirements management, data backups, and issue tracking. Most of the tools have a web-interface for easy customer access. Our internal knowledge database helps us reuse our best experience and provides fast information access. The software quality assurance group reviews project activities and audits the software products throughout their life cycle. Testing is a critical part of our software development. We perform different kind of testing, including unit testing, regression testing, and stress testing. Benefits of Archer Software’s Implementation of the UP Methodology:Risk MitigationUP’s iterative approach to development allows us to mitigate project risks early in the development cycle, because we integrate and test system elements progressively, rather than only at the end of the project. Technical risks are addressed early in the process where they cost the least to fix. Accommodating ChangesIn any development project, it is inevitable that users will change their minds to some degree along the way. We encourage a controlled level of in-scope requirements change; we know that this comes from active user involvement in the project, and that user involvement is crucial to project success. Higher QualityUP’s iterative approach results in a more robust, higher quality product because errors are corrected over several iterations. By discovering system defects and performance bottlenecks early we can reduce and repair them early. Common Industry StandardsUP approach is a proven way of developing information systems, implemented in thousands IT-related institutions. It helps our interaction with other IT professionals since we are speaking a common "language". Cost savingsUtilizing all aspects of UP allows us to optimize software development cycles and provide our customers with measurable cost savings. |
