In order to be effective and efficient a "Software Factory" requires considerable organizational, process and project discipline. These disciplines typically involve: high quality requirements gathering, derivation, management, and packaging; rigorous program management; effective resource management and allocation; proven/reusable components; and excellent project scheduling and control. Effective software factories rely upon the use of well balanced and consistent processes and productivity tools that allow existing components, applications, and systems to be easily consumed, integrated, and orchestrated in the construction of software deliverables

Nexsus's unique Software Factory Approach (SFA) of software development is a methodology designed to ensure maintainability of code and consistent software quality. The Software Factory Approach addresses the key issues of interchangeability of code authorship, transition management and operational efficiency improvement. A software factory is a set of software intensive systems satisfying the specific needs of a particular market segment & is developed from a common set of core assets in a prescribed way.

• Every member of the project is an integral part of the whole team
• Every member of the project is an integral part of the whole team
• Team members work together as a group, improving the design continually to keep it always just right for the current needs
• Every team shares a common picture of what the system looks like
• Job rotation within team members to eliminate project delay in case of attrition
• Proper documentation of each day's technical progress on the project
• Technical guidance to the new entrants on the running projects via interactive sessions
• Conformity with the coding standard guidelines for all languages as provided by the Quality Assurance Group
• Extensive Quality Control and Assurance Process before client delivery

 

• Ensures interchangeable authorship of software code and reduces downtime due to manpower attrition
• Enhances code maintainability
• Delivers consistent code quality
• Captures business and system development knowledge into specialized Process
• Increases Productivity & Predictability
• Reduces Risk & Cost
• Makes it relatively easy for Solution Providers to architect, design & implement applications within a web services environment
