Whether your organization has a prescribed SDLC, or your SDLC has evolved from corporate culture, processes need to be implemented consistently across the enterprise. The SDLC needs to be right-sized for any given project, and management needs visibility across the enterprise.
When the SDLC process and the tools to support that process are not integrated, the process suffers. Individual team members can branch from the process, leading to inefficiencies and putting the project at high risk. speakTECH believes that the only way to uniformly implement standard development practices across your organization is through tight integration between tools and process.
For example, source code check-in should correspond to a functional or non-functional requirement or bug fix. Continuous tool integration in the lifecycle provides visibility into code-level documentation discipline, build/test cycle frequency, and automated test results. All development activities and their results should be visible in real time. With SDLC tools managing the processes of architecture and design, requirements tracking, code development, source code control, build/deployment, testing, and project management, your organization benefits with accurate real-time reporting, management's window into the entire development life cycle.
