Ask these questions before authorising any software release

Software development can be a lengthy process. When the development comes to the end, it could be tempting to release the software as soon as possible; however, it is advisable to revisit questions for the last time so that nobody will be disappointed.

Ask these questions before authorising any software release

First of all, software developers have to be sure that the product is ready to be released. The Software Sustainability Institute has a recommended checklist for developers and the following questions should be considered for the whole process before the official release.

1. Has enough testing been done?

It is important to know how many times the software has been tested, and also which elements have not been tested. The method of testing is also crucial, as some problems might arise after release if there was no all-round testing.

The specialised software testing market is expected to grow significantly by 2020; for example, it is now possible to use a software testing service such as https://www.bugfinders.com/, whereby thousands of software developers work together to ensure that everything is checked and reviewed.

2. Have designers been involved in reviewing the final version?

The final version of the software should be reviewed by designers, who might be able to find nuances or tiny issues that still can be fixed ahead of the official release. This could help avoid users having problems.

3. Have users seen the product?

Before the official release, it is advisable to run it by the users and have it signed off by the client to ensure that they are satisfied with what the software can offer.

4. Is the timing right?

As with any major product launch, timing it right is key. If the release date coincides with a major launch by a competitor, this might cause problems. It is also important to take major holidays into consideration.

5. Is the support team ready?

The support team will be crucial following the release of the software, as it has to solve any issues that might arise. It is therefore important to ensure the team members have been trained thoroughly and have sufficient experience of the system.

Every software development process is lengthy and complex; however, having final checks in place can ensure the smooth release of the product.

A computer all in one with Remix OS? AOC is the first to launch

AOC all in one

Which Android was originally designed to sneak into mobile devices, it is a fact, but has been trying to get where it could; it is also a fact less successful. For computers not present a particularly interesting interface, fortunately there are people who have been working on their own versions, as in the case of Remix OS.

It is one of the most ambitious to bring the Google operating system to the computer, leaving aside proposals convergence that may occur with Chrome OS, but products that support the platform difficult to advance. For AOC has decided to launch a computer all in one with Remix OS.Continue reading →

April 2016 Lending Highest Since 2008

Latest estimates from the Council of Mortgage lenders reveal that mortgage lending dropped between March and April, and yet it is still at a record high.

April 2016 Lending Highest Since 2008

During April, gross mortgage lending was recorded at £18.5 billion. This was a drop of almost a third compared to the March figure of £26.2 billion, according to data from the Council of Mortgage Lenders. The council is the UK’s main trade body for mortgage lenders, and more information about it can be found at https://www.cml.org.uk/about-us/.

Highest for Seven Years

April’s figures, however, show a 16 per cent increase in comparison to April 2015, when the lending reached £16 billion, and it is the highest April lending total experienced since 2008, when the total lent was £25.3 billion.

Economist Mohammad Jamei of the CML predicted that the second quarter of the year would be ‘quieter’ as the market progresses after April’s change to stamp duty.

In recent times, many financial advisers have used their back office systems for IFAs to coordinate appointments with clients who were seeking to consider their options and complete transactions before the stamp duty changes came into effect. This is no longer the case, however, and experts are predicting that advisers will be using systems from companies such as http://www.intelliflo.com/ to manage the needs of clients looking at remortgaging, moving or buying for the first time, as buy-to-let investments take something of a back seat for a while.

Mr Jamei said it was likely that buy-to-let would be sidelined over the ensuing ‘few months’ but added that the ‘underlying picture’ was still a positive one, with signs of growth thanks to a market underpinned by strong conditions, such as rising employment and increasing wages. He did admit, however, that June’s EU Referendum could affect activity.

Future Predictions

OneSavings Bank’s John Eastgate, meanwhile, said that market feedback currently suggests that enquiry levels have returned to normal, but he said that this would not be reflected in new lending until the third quarter of the year.

IRESS’ principal mortgage consultant Henry Woodcock said that macro events, including the outcome of the EU referendum, would have an impact on lending figures in May. He said that lenders could choose to increase long-term deal numbers of up to four decades in a bid to tempt borrowers who would find shorter-term loans too expensive.
