e-commerce software update
TRANSCRIPT
Constantly changing eCommerce market requires constant development works on i-systems eCommerce software.
eCommerce software update
To manage all the dedicated projects we created a system basis, called “release”.
This is a basic version of the system, which has universal modules (for instance: order, product and customer module, as well as Allegro integration.)
Agile programming
Release is issued on the basis of a two-week series of sprints of the SCRUM team, which
end in a several part of the finished application.
Why do we keep on developing our software?
Because we want to control an important aspect of our application,
called framework. It is like an engine in a car. There is no way you can drive without it.
Benefits for IT
Every programmer at i-systems has an impact on the framework processes.
This increases freedom of software development and strengthens the sense of responsibility for the product. Release creation methodology also allows the development of skills and knowledge acquisition within the team.

Changes in RestAPI module. Search optimization, logs rotation, indication of the correctly finished tasks and new API actions, as well as addition of GUI for documentation etc.
Version 3.46
Changelog consists of 59 records.
Version 3.46 (the latest release of version 3)
Preview of the content of the notification about status change for the customer.

elements in order summary. The result of those changes
is that contents are displayed on mobile devices in a better way.
Therefore, shopping cart abandonment phenomenon should decrease.
Box module. A possibility to personalize online shopping by enabling customer to have a choice of shopping package.
Version 3.46
An important feature of this version is addition of the cookies support in affiliative partners module. Its main task is to track target customers entries from affiliative partners’ websites.
Version 3.46 (the latest release of version 3)
Version 4.0
The change in release numbering was influenced by two factors:
Version 4.0
a complete change in design of the administration panel
a store with Git revision control system

Version 4.0
Major release changes:
Version 4.0
New design of the administration panel (simple design compatibile with i-systems identity.)
New call center module (integrated with B2B module, calendar and flow diagram.)
Improved UX of the cart with particular emphasis on displaying product discounts.
Version 4.0
Release 4.0 Black Adder came with an advanced call center module. It allows telemarketing from the browser level. This module is integrated with B2B module, calendar and flow diagram. Therefore, conversation scenario for the campaign can be created.
Call center worker can:
Version 4.0
check customer’s purchase history;
open a new order form;
check if the order was generated during the task.
Version 4.1
Till now, all the development works took place on the basis of Bazaar revision control system, which had its deficiencies. We focused on Git. Release 4.1 is indispensable for the transition process as it identified and solved all the problems and discrepancies between Bazaar and Git.

Version 4.1
Till now, all the development works took place on the basis of Bazaar revision control system, which had its deficiencies. We focused on Git. Release 4.1 is indispensable for the transition process as it identified and solved all the problems and discrepancies between Bazaar and Git.
Among specific advantages of the Git system there are possibilities to:
1
2
3
4
5
reestablish any previous version;
track changes in code in offline mode;
maintain every repository as a separate branch, what is very helpful in case of projects with above 900 branches;
merge changes introduced by different people in different time.
Version 4.1
Adjusting release to the Git revision control system is a part of a automatic i-systems software implementation process.Git will allow more effective transition to the continuous delivery model, which is a process of automatic code implementation for the testing environment, until the desired result is obtained.
In the long-term perspective all the changes have to result in continuous integration of the i-systems software. Continuous integration means systematic addition of current changes in the code to the main repository of high frequency.
Version 4.1
All the changes in the process of software development will be implemented gradually, and will be practically
invisible for the i-systems customers.
Version 4.1
What changes is only an organization of the part of IT team itself.
