| Process-Tool Integration |
Have you experienced automation slowing you down?
Are default workflows of the tool the only way out?
Are we forced to change processes due to new tools?
A requirements tool from one vendor and a testing tool from another ( realize that they don’t talk to one another despite the “easy plug-in” offered by both vendors)?
Obviously, to overcome this inefficiency, we need these tools to be closely linked together and to provide handoffs of information, status exchange and shared ownership of the stages in the development process.
More importantly, is the end to end process clear? First clarify process and then deploy the tool is the mantra (of course this can be in iteration as we can’t foresee everything).
MQMS has the experience and best practices for ensuring process tool alignment and ensuring the process-tool infrastructure stands up to the business needs.
Some relevant instances are |
|
Automation plan (erstwhile Mercury suite) and integrating with requirements process and version control tool (Clear Case) |
|
Process – Tool Integration of Quality Center, DOORS and Clear Case |
|
|
Usually, there are six main tool types in use
|
| 1. |
Requirements Management tool (often a spreadsheet or word document) |
| 2. |
Project Management tool (sometimes a spreadsheet ) |
| 3. |
An Integrated Development Environment (sometimes Eclipse-based tools) |
| 4. |
Configuration Management tools (usually one of the standard tools) |
| 5. |
Automated testing tools (30% of organizations and usually not used more than 10% of potential) |
| 6. |
Defect Management Tool (usually one of the standard tools) |
Invariably, each operate in a standalone mode. Thus, the program / project manager and other functional leads still rely on the person from the function to inform them on the progress or updates at their end.
Then it is
pretty much start from scratch i.e. if there is a change in requirement, there is a person dependency for this change to be implemented in the IDE, CM, testing and project schedule.
|
Process is the central point in selecting tools
MQMS creates a process-centric tool integration framework for synergistic collaboration of software development tools.
