IET is delighted to announce a new product called VerifIEr which will be available in March 2008.
VerifIEr is a quality assurance tool for checking that Gen models are compliant with standards. It includes many pre-configured checks which scan and validate your Action Diagrams and other Gen objects, as well as providing the ability to extend its set of checks to include your own logic.
Most Gen sites have development standards covering aspects such as naming conventions, use of return codes, factors that affect performance, etc. Projects that out-source development activity will especially want to check the models for compliance to standards.
Checking that the model meets these standards can be a time consuming task, and this is usually allocated to an experienced Gen developer to perform manually via code inspection.
VerifIEr can automate most compliance and QA checking tasks, thus freeing up experienced Gen developers for more value added activities. Verification checks can be performed on an entire model, selected objects or the contents of a GuardIEn Change Request, Release Pack or System Update.
Automated checking means that a far greater range of checks can be performed when compared with the effort involved in manual checking.
Checks can be invoked on demand, scheduled in batch, performed automatically on upload or as part of a GuardIEn System Update. The integration with GuardIEn ensures that checks are automatically performed as part of the normal development life-cycle, thus ensuring that the Gen models are compliant with standards.
The scope of the checks that VerifIEr can perform is almost without limit. It can verify objects meet naming standards, that code is structured in a certain way, that coding standards are adhered to, that READ statements are efficient, and much more.
Examples of checks that VerifIEr can perform include:
