• Diversity of Operating System and Platforms

• Faster innovation cycles• Increased mobility and

accessibility• Socially-connected consumers• Speed to market • Escalating risk exposure• Composite application design• Adoption of lean and efficient

development strategies and processes

• Distributed Development Teams• Thinning lines between business

and IT • Supporting multiple

methodologies• Parallel initiatives• Etc.

Tearing down the walls of an antiquated and archaic process and replace it with automation and integration

The efficiency and quality of IT is every companies business


Henry Ford revolutionized the auto industry now, HP is revolutionizing the Software Development process.“Henry Ford developed the modern-day, assembly-line over 100 years ago, it was the catalyst for what we now know as our global economy. “• The key to this

revolutionary idea was its simplicity.

• Ford didn't address the fabrication of the car, he addressed the process in which the car was manufactured.


Eliminating the sources of latency in a mobile, agile, composite IT landscape

Keys to enable Velocity

• Drive real-time decisions• Optimize work streams• Immediate response to

change

• Build an always-on lab• Provide constant

access• Represent external

factors

• Lightning fast execution• Automated regression• Configuration as code

VirtualizationVisibility and Collaboration

Automation

Streamline the supply chain of applications, Ford style!


The simplicity of the answer sometimes gets lost in the complexity of the question The Question: How can IT organizations manage the software development lifecycle process in a lean development environment where delays aren’t measured in days or weeks but hours

The answer is: Automate your SDLC process


ALM Best practices Documents•Project templates•Processes•Intellectual property

Developing a complete CoE package•Code•Training•Expertise•Continuity across projects

Module Packages•Customized for Each Client•A-line with the SDLC processes•Integration with third-party products•Interlinking design which complements each module

PROVEN METHODS AND METHODOLOGIES

HP’s PS vision for SDLC


Innovation—that’s fast and works…So how do we deliver in a SDLC process?

Yesterday

• Manual deployment

• Wastage of assets: performance scripts, known bugs, etc.

• Manual configurations & stubs

• Driven top-down• PC-based

applications

• Exhaustive definition

• Abstract• Contractual

• Test only; code=black box

• Lead time for environments

• Treated as ‘last mile’

• Automated deployment

• Asset reuse between Apps & Ops

• Composite & virtualized

• Automatic connections

• Multi-channel apps

• Just enough• Experiential• Story-based /

interpretive

• Insight into code changes

• Auto deploys for dev/test

• Continual testing

Product and process standardization

Center of excellence

Defining your SLDC process today?

•No documentedSDLC processes •No architectural governance processes•Adoption is project-focused•Testing is ad-hoc

Project Based• Project-based processes/tools•SDLC may be structured, but mostly manual• Siloed SDLC teams and tools• Lack of organizational metrics and baselines

Product Utility•Centralize/consolidate technology, licenses, admin & support•Standardized use of tools, templates, naming conventions, asset sharing, some automation•Best practices for tools usage •Some level of organization metrics

Service Utility

• Standardized organizational processes and practices•Service bureau for providing consulting/support•Org SDLC audits, metrics, governance, risk-based quality•Process automation across SDLC

Shared Service

• Consolidated SDLC personnel providing services to LOBs•Well-defined governance and service levels; chargeback models•High levels of automation, re-use and efficiency in execution•Organizational capability metrics and real-time dashboards•SDLC integration

Priority Level1-Very High Very High customer impact. There are no acceptable workarounds. The

problem requires immediate attention. 2-High High to Medium customer impact. Workaround is available. Impairs the

system’s usability or results in incorrect output.3-Medium Some customer impact. Workaround designed, but not in place.4-Low Little or no customer impact. Work around easily implemented.

Severity Level1-Critical A condition is present that causes the system to fail completely or causes data

to be lost. A key feature needed is not available or working. There is no workaround.

2-High The defect causes the system to produce incorrect, incomplete or inconsistent results, or impairs the system’s usability, but the system is still functional. There is no workaround.

3-Medium Same as a 2-High, however a partial to complete workaround is available.4-Low (Minor) Software is usable, but a cosmetic problem such as a spelling or

typographic error exists.
