7 ways to improve software release management

To come to fruition, software projects take investment, support, nurturing and a lot of hard work and dedication. Good release management practices ensure that when your software is built, it will be successfully deployed to the people who want to use it. You have the opportunity to satisfy existing customers and hopefully to win new ones.

A major U.K. telecommunications provider had a problem. It needed to implement a business critical supplier switch, which required it to reengineer its billing and account management systems. These systems had to be in place within three months, otherwise the organization risked losing hundreds of millions of pounds and a decline in their stock value. But the telecom's development processes were poor, and its release management was extremely problematic and inconsistent.

The company brought us in to help deliver the software within the time constraints and to turnaround a failing release management process. Within three months, we'd released both the pending releases and two scheduled releases of the reengineered applications. Most important, we established a straightforward and lightweight release management process to ensure that future releases would happen on time and to the required quality. Follow along as we show you how we did it-including the mistakes we made.

Software industry on rapid rise in Beijing

Rely on the organization of innovations to promote technical innovations so as to promote the application of innovations. In recent years, the software industry in Beijing has been adhering to the development strategy of joint innovations and a stride in the process of development has been thus realized. In 2007, operating revenues of the software industry in Beijing amounted to RMB125.2 billion yuan with a year-on-year growth margin of 28 percent, making Beijing the only city in which revenues made from software amounted to over RMB100 billion yuan in China.

From RMB78 billion yuan in 2005 to RMB97.2 billion yuan in 2006 and RMB125.2 billion yuan in 2007, the software industry has been developing rapidly. Behind such achievements, the key other than Beijing's regional advantage and the advantage in terms of talents is that two kinds of rules were followed and grasped: "Firstly, market rules shall be followed; that is, it is necessary to rely on the market mechanism and drive the development of the software industry by consummating the industrial chain. Secondly, rules in the industrial development shall be followed; that is, to achieve development by adopting the train of innovative thoughts instead of the road of 'imitation and substitution'." That is an interpretation given by Ma Lin, Director of the Beijing Municipal Science & Technology Commission.

Three years ago, it was still an authentic portraiture of the status quo of the software industry in Beijing that "small enterprises gather together to compete with one another". "Almost all software enterprises started with one or two informatization project (s); almost all industry-oriented software companies had experienced a transition from making a lot of profits to making only tiny profits or just breaking even; and in almost all informatization markets in all industries, there converged competitors." When recalling the then status, Hu Qinghua, Director of Beijing Software Industry Productivity Center, repeated the collocation of "almost all" three times.

Microsoft puts up $100K to support Apache Software Foundation

Microsoft Friday said it was contributing $100,000 in sponsorship money to the Apache Software Foundation in what the software giant called an endorsement of "the Apache Way" and made its first code contribution to an Apache project.

Microsoft also said it was contributing a patch to ADOdb, a data access layer for PHP that is used by many applications. The code contribution to the PHP community was a first for Microsoft.

In addition, the company moved 100 protocols from its Communications Protocol Program to its Open Specification Promise to ensure they could be used without the fear of patent infringement.
The non-profit Apache Software Foundation (ASF) is a group of developers that create and develop open source projects, such as the Apache Web server and the Axis Web services framework.

Microsoft has supported ASF efforts in the past including Apache POI, Apache Axis2 and Jakarta.

Managing success in offshore software development

A framework for reclaiming visibility and control swapping-offshore development has been embraced by the vast majority of commercial software vendors and enterprise application development groups. Why? Lets find out..

ACCORDING TO a recent study by Duke University and Booz Allen Hamilton, high-end functions like software development are rapidly gaining acceptance as off shore candidates. And as the pattern of off shoring migrates from low-end to high-end work, the challenges faced by the management have moved from dealing with political backlash to more operational issues like retaining managerial control and gaining operational efficiency. As application development becomes increasingly dispersed, those running these projects face a new twist to the age-old challenge of managing distributed software projects. Traditional team management techniques, like scorecards and site meetings, are ineffective and impossible to scale in a world where teams span vast physical, temporal, cultural, and organisational barriers. Managers are finding it increasingly hard to get the facts needed to build a reliable picture of projects and to make informed decisions. Building software in a flat world, characterises this loss of control as a major obstacle to working in a globally distributed environment. I suggest that this problem is experienced by 35 per cent of organisations engaged in off shoring today.

IBM Profits Rise 22% on Services, Software

IBM manages net income growth of 22 percent selling services, software and systems in a largely international market.

IBM's second-quarter profits grew 22 percent, led by services and software revenue and sales in international markets.

IBM's revenues grew 13 percent to $26.8 billion, while net income for the period was $2.8 billion, the company said. Also, as IBM pulled $10.9 billion in revenue from its Americas sector, the company drew $15.1 billion from international markets, indicating that it might be buffered by its broad participation in worldwide and emerging markets as the economy undergoes a downturn.

IBM revenues from the Europe, Middle East and Africa market segments rose 20 percent to $9.8 billion, while revenues from the Asia-Pacific market grew 16 percent to $5.3 billion. U.S. revenues grew by 5 percent. However, overall Americas revenue grew by 8 percent, to $10.9 billion.

"IBM had an outstanding quarter and a strong first half for 2008. These results demonstrate that IBM has the ability to thrive in both emerging and established markets. Once again, IBMers performed very well around the world," Samuel Palmisano, IBM chairman, president and CEO, said in a statement.

Buggy Software is Your Fault, Too

Hackers’ preferred method of breaking into businesses these days is exploiting flaws in Web browsers, word-processing documents and other software. The reason these applications are vulnerable to attack: No one wants the responsibility for making sure this software is secure.

The man pointing the finger at, well, everybody is Howard Schmidt, a security consultant who used to be the top-ranking cyber-security official in George W. Bush’s Whitehouse. Schmidt spoke to the Business Technology Blog while waiting in line to get the software on his iPhone upgraded - although he called us on his BlackBerry.

The problem, according to Schmidt, is that the people who oversee software development focus on finishing projects on time and under budget. It’s not that security is incompatible with coding cheaply and fast, but it does make development a little more complicated, because programmers can’t take many of the shortcuts they’re used to. Schmidt says that writing software with security in mind from the outset is the tech equivalent of building a house without flammable materials.

Is Fixed-Price Software Development Unethical?

One of the riskiest decisions you can make in software development is to require a "precise" cost and schedule estimate at the beginning of the project. Although there is nothing wrong with fixing just the price, as I wrote in Agile on a Fixed Budget, the situation quickly becomes dysfunctional when you also decide to fix the schedule and the project scope. Although customers often demand to work in this manner, particularly when the system is being built by another organization such as a system integrator (SI), as professionals we must question the ethics of fixed-price IT projects. We know fixed price is a bad idea, our customers inherently know fixed price is a bad idea, and it's high time that as an industry we choose to abandon this highly questionable approach.

I want to start by defining three critical terms:

• Fixed price refers to a project where the cost, schedule, and scope are set early in the lifecycle. "Fixed-iron triangle project" would also be a valid term, albeit a mouthful. This is different from a "fixed-budget project" where the budget is set, but at least one (if not both) of the scope or schedule are allowed to vary.
• Customer refers to the person(s) or organization(s) for which an IT solution is being developed (or purchased, as the case may be).
• IT provider refers to the person(s) or organization(s) who performs the work to provide the solution to the customer. The IT provider may be internal to the customer (for example, the customer is a bank and the IT provider is the IT department within that bank) or external to it (for example, the bank chooses to hire an SI to build a system.)
  

I also need to set the context for this discussion. First, my argument is against fixed-price projects, not fixed-budget projects. The constraints imposed by fixed-price approaches reduce the flexibility of both the customer and the IT provider and thereby increase project risk unacceptably. Second, for simplicity I assume that you work for an IT provider even though some readers are business stakeholders.

Symantec says security software needs speed

Symantec Corp. released beta versions of its flagship Windows software today, citing significant improvements in performance.

The previews of Norton Internet Security 2009 and Norton AntiVirus 2009, both of which run on Windows XP or Windows Vista, boast "breakthrough" changes in performance, said Jody Gibney, the senior product manager for the former product.

"We've been looking at performance the right way in the past," argued Gibney, "but because of the changing way people are using their PCs and because of their demanding expectations, it wasn't enough to be a great-performing security product. We had to be a great performing product, period."

Research the company conducted showed that lackluster performance and system impact were the biggest reasons why customers switched security software, she added.

Among the changes to the new versions was a reduction in memory consumption, a decision prompted by research that showed 40% of Symantec's base runs PCs equipped with just 512MB of RAM.

Indian software developers prefer Orkut

MUMBAI, INDIA: Orkut, the social networking site from Google, is used by twice as many software developers in India than either MySpace or Facebook according to an Evans Data survey of over 300 software developers in India.

Indian developers showed much more interest in social networking sites in general than do developers in other parts of the world, and 73 percent of them said they had used Orkut, as compared to 35 percent for Facebook and 32 percent for MySpace.

"While Facebook has been heavily promoting its platform to developers, Google's Orkut has quietly taken the largest share of developers in India," said John Andrews, President and CEO of Evans Data Corp. "Capturing mindshare with developers in fast growing emerging development markets like India and Brazil gives them a strategic advantage going forward in further cultivating this very important community."

Google's Orkut has become so popular with developers in both Brazil and India that they have recently released new domains specific to those countries.

Other highlights from this in-depth tactical marketing survey of over 300 software developers in India include:

• Technology or platform vendors are considered the most credible source of information on emerging technologies by Indian developers.
• Almost half of all Indian developers, 47 percent, get involved with coding contests.
• Over half of Indian software developers are single, and are much younger than their counterparts in North America or Europe.

Mozilla set to develop risk model for software development

Mozilla is trying to refute the notion that the buggier the software, the less secure it is.

The open-source maker of the Firefox browser is creating a publicly available metrics model that software providers can use to measure the relative security of their products.

Mozilla itself will leverage the model to measure the efficiency of both its development process and the response by Mozilla and its users to Firefox security issues, said independent security consultant Rich Mogull of Securosis, who was tapped to lead the project.

“This is less focused on providing a public number,” Mogull told SCMagazineUS.com on Monday. “It is more about how Mozilla themselves can better track their security effort. The goal of these metrics is to improve Mozilla's ability to understand how they perform security development and respond to security issues and keep their users as safe as possible.”

Is the New York Times (becoming) a software company?

Nothing is more old news than the good old newspaper from yesterday. Silicon Alley Insider reports on the New York Times' attempt to counter the continued print media decline by establishing new revenue streams through its online initiatives. Marc Frons, chief technology officer of the Times' digital operations, provides cues as to where the company is placing its bets: "Widgets, iPhone apps, APIs, and more."

In essence, this means the Times is turning into a software company, applying the same business model philosophy "as many start-ups in Silicon Valley:" "Build neat tools, get traction, and then figure out how to make money off them later," as the Silicon Alley Insider describes it.

How to make accounting software cool

Microsoft tapped a cutting-edge ad agency to craft an offbeat, viral campaign aimed at small business owners.

NEW YORK (Fortune) -- It was too weird to be true. In late 2006, a series of videos appeared on YouTube about a Willow Springs, Ill., resident named Kyle Bone who'd created a successful product called "the anti-shirt" - a shirt that exposed the area of one's torso that a normal tee shirt would cover and revealed the area that would otherwise be exposed. In short, said Bone, it cured the age-old problem of "farmer's tan."

Viewers who investigated Bone's site found a link to another site, www.ideawins.com, where they could enter an American Idol-like search for the best small business idea in America. And, oh, they would also download a free copy of Microsoft Office Accounting.

Economic necessity is the mother of software reuse

Here is an assertion you are unlikely to see anywhere other than in this article: an economic recession right now would do the Web the world of good.

Wow! How could that possible be true? Lets suck all the money out of the system and see what happens? Sounds painful. Sounds suicidal. Has McGrath finally lost it?

Money is a constraint. I have written before about how important constraints are in software development. In a nutshell, constraints are the wellspring from which many good things come. Money, it could be argued, is the granddaddy of all constraints.

When money is tight in software development, what happens? Well, teams look to cut capital costs and to keep overheads as low as possible. Two good ways to keep capital costs down are to use open source software technologies and to use ISPs to rent hardware/connectivity rather than buy hardware. How are these good for the Web?

Well, the Web thrives in large part because of the quality of open source and the fact that low cost software makes horizontal scaling economically viable. The more developers who are developing on these open components the better for the openness of the Web as a whole. Also, the more developers utilize the Web itself to develop for the Web - the stronger the Web ecosystem becomes. Web based source code control systems. Web based issue trackers...
