Development Process for Web-Enabled Applications - Coding

Coding

Objective

The objective is to translate the detailed design into application source code of the chosen programming language using the tools and development environment identified during design phases.

Entry Criteria

The coding process gets initiated with:

· Reviewed and Approved Low Level Design document is available

· Unit test plan (UTP) is available

· Coding standards

· Project Plan including Configuration Management Plan (CM)

· Updated version of User Manual and System Manual

Process Description

Coding Process

Coding is a process of translating the detailed design into a programming language that is ultimately transformed into machine executable instructions.

Style is an important attribute of source code and can determine the clarity of a program.. In all cases, simplicity and clarity are key characteristics. While coding, language/tool specific standards have to be followed.

Code Walkthrough

It is a Quality Control activity performed after the coding has been done. The review checklist for code review appears in the procedure MT/TECH/FTR. The review comments are to be tracked to closure before the release of the code.

This activity is can be on a sampling basis and is based on the discretion of the Project Manager. If the code review is on a sampling basis, the same must be explained in the Project Plan and the criteria for selection must be elaborated. Also, threshold limits should be set specifying the number of discrepancies that can be found before completely re-reviewing the code.

Deliverables from the process

The deliverables from this process are:

· Source Code

· Updated Project Plan

Exit Criteria

The exit criteria for the Coding process are:

· Reviewed code

· Closed Defect reports

· Updated Project Plan

· Traceability matrix updated (Refer to 12.3.5 for format of this matrix)
