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’t just mean an inconvenience; they mean that the tools and systems we use on a daily basis don’t 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’s 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 Solution Implementation in Five Easy Steps:
- Evaluation — Parasoft’s 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.
The Time Has Come for Error Prevention
Historically, companies have not found it economically feasible to implement error prevention strategies
throughout their enterprise. With Parasoft’s Solutions for the Java™ Programming Language, businesses finally
have an easy, cost-effective method for automatically implementing a complete automated error prevention
package for their Java software lifecycle, from development through deployment.
Parasoft Solutions for the Java™ Programming Language gives you the ability to identify and prevent errors
before they affect your business, reducing the risk of business system failures. Parasoft Solutions automate
error prevention practices for organizations looking to improve development processes and application quality
while simultaneously preventing business failures and customer dissatisfaction. Functional application areas for
the Parasoft Solution include:
