Identify your issues to communicate them and address them.
The Cockpit determines your application's 6-dimension quality profile to provide your tender with the appropriate technical requirements for those needs and to set up the indicators to monitor its progress.
This way, the objective is clear and specific for you and your contractors, since:
|
- The specifications include the exact requirements to be met
- Factual indicators are set up to monitor compliance with the specifications during the implementation
- Satisfaction criteria are defined
|
The cost of quality increases exponentially!
With the Cockpit, you take action from the time of development.
Numerous studies have shown that the time required to correct a problem is multiplied by 10 if the problem is discovered during testing and by 100 if it is discovered in production. This generates costs and delays and reduces the application's lifetime because having lots of problems is too expensive to correct and reduces changeability.
Sound foundations for your project
- Start with an optimal quality objective to ensure the best return on investment for quality.
- Evaluate the responses from your contractors to ensure that they are following your requirements and that they will produce the level of quality necessary for the success of the project.
- Contractualize your project based on the required compliance with these needs from the time of development.
- Align everyone involved with the project around a single objective with clear indicators grouped into dashboards for each profile (Manager, Project Manager, Architect, Developer, etc.).
Based on this objective, the Cockpit's dashboards provide you with a clear view throughout the project for management and serves as a trusted third party that verifies the continued compliance with the objective.
By adding the documented generated by the Cockpit into your tender, you set the stage for success:
- A shared objective with your contractor
- Pertinent indicators to monitor
- A contractual relationship built on sound foundations
Developed from an online questionnaire, this relies on the principles of personality profiles to identify the project needs and to evaluate them in terms of reliability, maintainability, changeability, transferability, security, and efficiency.
To help your contractor to comply with your objective, the profile is translated into concrete technical requirementstailored to your issues. For this, the Cockpit:
 |
- Selects the best practices to
follow, from the Kalistick knowledge base and based on the technologies used (Microsoft C#/.Net or Java/J2EE)
- Sets appropriate tolerance thresholds in order to achieve the optimal level of quality and maximize your return on investment
|
Your tender is complete with the generated documents, which are attached to your specifications.
From the tender, quality management is integrated into project management:
 |
- The contractor and its team accesses the Cockpit to analyze code throughout the development process in order to quickly address problems and avoid repeating them.
- The dashboards are accessible to the contractor's entire team with development-specific analyses.
- Validation analyses regularly update you on the status, and quality is integrated into your management meetings with the key indicators.

| Case study |
 |
Bayer Crop Science had a project and wanted to assign it to a new provider. The application had to be completed within a short timeframe, meeting strong operational constraints.
To be sure the project was successful, the quality objective was added to the tender as an additional document generated by the Cockpit.
In its bid, ASI-Informatique committed to the expected quality level.
During the development process, the Cockpit helped to achieve the objectives and contributed to the success of the project.
