The pure coding in software development is more and more fading into the background. Today modern application management uses innovative methods or technologies and is based on process models and quality management systems. The objective is the reducing of development time while improvement of software quality.

 

Identification and completion of the most efficient execution scenarios

The primary objective of our methodology support is the identification and completion of the most efficient execution scenarios, meaning minimal time, minimal cost, minimal resources etc. At the first step, this contains the analyses and mapping of development environment (programming language/technologies, tools, dates). Thereby, IME supports a numerous of practice-oriented project types (e.g. client, server, database, web client, enterprise applications etc.) and offers through support of all published (~ 800) technologies, e.g. programming languages, IDEs, frameworks and macros the benchmarking of their efficiency and effectivity to assessment of their productivity.

 

The identification and assessment of boundaries (e.g. system-, standard- and individual software as well as new development, modification of components/modules and third-party-components) characterizes our methodology. Additionally, the support of all areas in the entire life cycle, e.g. architecture, design, coding, testing, maintenance and support enables the exact assignment of effort, time, resources and costs including differentiation between platforms, components and customer-specific product lines. Furthermore, a high-level-assessment in engineering ensures the determination of adjustment factors (e.g. code density measurement, productivity etc.). The implementation of metrics to measure changes in the life cycle of applications (e.g. release, design, code etc.) ensures important advanced decisions. The calibration of values for hard and soft facts and further productivity factors for the development environment enables the mapping and adaption of our methodology to individual customer requirements.

 

Cost Xpert supports the comprehensive application-lifecycle, starting with feasibility, development and implementation, stabilization until integration and operations.

 

The identification of optimal staffing of respective projects is essential for the increase of productivity. The representation of resource capacity including peaks and capacity utilization enables demand-oriented staffing for a constant utilization. Optimal team staffing is shown up what soft skills in which characteristic increased the efficiency of the team. Associated with target-oriented analyses, this enables performance measurements of team members and pools.

 

Our systematic application of methodologies and standardized approaches creates the basis for economic, on time and of high quality applications.

 

Reliable estimations in environment of constant rising complexity and with short innovation and technology cycles.
