Automatic Generation of Software Applications
The automatic software generation is the efficient process of generating software code directly from business models for a selectable deployment architecture. These new processes and tools were created to overcome the challenges of implementing the software projects, resulting in a highly efficient method that has better results compared with the legacy approaches. The time spent for programming, testing and integration is therefore substantially reduced. Also, from the same business model, different technical architectures can be implemented without additional coding effort.
Accelerated Development uses a comprehensive and flexible tool: System for Generating Enterprise Software (SGES). By using this premier solution we are able to eliminate the following top five reasons of an IT project failure:
Requirements – unclear, lack of agreement, lack of priority, contradictory, ambiguous, imprecise
Resolution: Interactive Prototypes
Visualization radically improves requirements. By using interactive prototypes the business requirements are validated, new requirements are uncovered and development can move forward with reduced ambiguity and true agreement between key stakeholders. SGES produces high-fidelity, interactive prototypes and generates automatically the concept documentation of business applications.
Planning – based on insufficient data, insufficient details and poor estimates.
Resolution: Agile Software Development
Issues such as customer and competitive requirements, time-to-market, architectural and quality considerations, staffing levels and expertise, potential risks, and many other factors must be carefully weighed and considered in project planning. SGES delivers an extremely agile, iterative Design & Generate process which allows development team to build optimal solutions.
Schedules – too tight, unrealistic and overly optimistic.
Resolution: Clear Scope of the Project
A lot of factors contribute to unrealistic schedules: poor requirements management, the complexity of the technology, communication problems between business units and IT, the software development methodology, etc. SGES lowers the number of the implementation steps, uses prototypes for transparent requirements and the technological solution is resolved from the beginning.
Risks – unidentified or assumed, not managed.
Resolution: Management Transparency
Because the software projects are seen as a “black-box”, the managers are not able to identify and analyze all the risks involved. The projects management needs transparency and efficient tools to measure the projects implementation. Cost reduction and control, project planning based on feedback from high-quality, ready-to-production software, business customers control over the projects and lower IT dependency are the benefits of using SGES.
Resources – lack of resources, resource conflicts, turnover of key resources, poor planning.
Resolution: Standardization and Documentation
Good developers are a scarce resource. Good developers that work well with an existing team of developers are even harder to find. In addition, the organization loses the intangible knowledge that good developers take with them when they leave. By using SGES, the software development is no longer an art; it becomes predictive, standardized and automatically documented to complete application development projects.
