 Senior Software Engineer, SCM, iSOFT R&D Pvt. Ltd., Chennai, India

October, 2004 – June, 2006.

Software Configuration Management in iSOFT comes under the Product Development Group. Software Configuration Management is an important aspect of SDLC (Software Development Life Cycle).

As a part of SCM team I was responsible for establishing Requirements Management system (Doors), Change Management system (CS) and Configuration Management (CM) system, across many product developments teams in iSOFT like Lorenzo, i.Synergy, i.PM, i.Series etc.

DOORS (Dynamic Object Oriented Requirement System) is the world's leading requirements management application. DOORS provide all the features to capture, track and manage user requirements.

Change Synergy is a web-oriented, browser-based application for submitting and tracking change requests. With Change Synergy we can track changes to anything from source code to the location of company's workstations.

The establishment of CM Synergy System required the following activities:

 Version Control

 Build Management

 Release Management

 Process Control

A complex process oriented and high profile SCM tool suite Doors, CS and CM Synergy by Telelogic has been used with 1100 licenses for this implementation, as an SCM team member I have architected the establishment of these toolsets across many iSOFT Product teams.

As a primary responsibility I have architected and performed end-to-end integration of Telelogic tool suite right from requirement till release of products by creating required workflows by cusomizing the SCM tools.

Established two way integration between Telelogic Change synergy and the organisation based issue tracking tool namely iASSIST.

I have also worked on defining the SCM process and implementation, security of Source Codes repository and Disaster recovery etc. My future assignments would cover establishing Distributed Configuration Management System across different product team existing in different geographical locations

iSoft has delivered Lorenzo, i.Series and many other products for its clients with the help of Telelogic Tool Suite, which is my area of expertise.

Tool Set Used: Telelogic CM Synergy, Change Synergy and Doors

Language: Perl, DXL

Product: Lorenzo

Description of Product:

Lorenzo is a ground-breaking next generation Healthcare application addressing fully the administrative and clinical information management requirements of healthcare providers. It delivers powerful clinical and management tools through a rich user experience. It is founded on modern standards designed by NHS-Trained healthcare professionals and is developed using Microsoft’s .NET technologies.

Responsibilities:

As an SCM engineer I had to establish Telelogic’s Application Lifecycle Management (ALM) Solution across this product development. My activities involved implementing the requirement management tool, customising the tool to cater iSoft needs, architecting the code structure of the product and define its deliverables. I was actively involved in defining the Change Management process, wherein the issue/change request life cycle were designed and the system was put in place to track and manage the product development. The complete traceability from the requirements to the source code was achieved by successfully using the Telelogic Tool Suite.

Product: i.Series

Description of Product:

i.Series includes many products like i.PM, i.Synergy, i.CM etc.

i.PM stands for iSOFT Patient Manager which is in the fore front among the patient management system and is being effectively used across many health care organization in UK.

The i.Synergy as a product leads in the Primary Health Care market and has been used by General Practices across the European hospitals. As a functional specialization in the product has the NCRS components which are the National Care Record Service Components and which involves three major sub components the PDS (Patient Demographic Service), EBS (Electronic Booking Service) and LRS (Legitimate Relationship Service).

Responsibilities:

As an SCM representative I had to establish Requirements Management Tool (Doors), Change Management Tool (CS) and Solution Integration Tool CM Synergy and enable them to manage and deliver multiple releases across a single product. i.PM contained about 90 versions of source code and my major activity during this migration was to develop Perl script to automate the process of migration. All these 90 versions were migrated automatically using the Perl script. During this implementation I had also demonstrated them the Roll Forward / Backward of the issues rose as a part of Change Request across multiple releases. I was actively involved in defining the Issue Management process, wherein the issue/change request life cycle were designed and the system was put in place to track and manage the product development.

 Project: Building iAssist – Change Synergy Integration using Perl.

Language: Perl

Responsibilities: As a software engineer, I was responsible to build an integration bridge between two Issue Management Tools namely iAssist and

Change Synergy. The integration was purely developed in Perl. iAssist is an issue tracking tool developed by iSoft, which has got a web interface to login issues. Customers log their issues inside iAssist, from which the development and quality team pick them up and work on the issues. This integration helps to achieve the complete Traceability from Requirements to the Code / Test cases.

Role: Developer

Product: Lorenzo

Technologies: MS Visual Studio .NET 2003 and MS SQL Server 2003

Responsibilities: As a developer my responsibility was to implement the functionality which is defined as a part of product requirement.
