Software Engineering
Software engineering is the discipline of defining the best
processes for developing software applications and managing
quality in a methodical manner. Our expertise is in developing
software applications that apply to Measurement & Automation
and Enterprise & Integration solutions. These solutions
are more complicated than standalone software development efforts
due to the intense interaction necessary with hardware and other
systems. As a result, the application of proven software engineering
principles is justified and highly recommended.
The value of software engineering and quality standards for
software development are further explained by our project
methodology.
The tremendous growth of PC-based engineering tools and development
environments requires that these software tasks be managed
-- in product design, development, test, and manufacturing.
Otherwise, productivity suffers, downtime and rework increase,
opportunities are lost, and warranty claims rise.
 VISTA™
is a branded process for software engineering management.
It is designed specifically for organizations maintaining
dedicated, PC-based Measurement & Automation operations.
Software today can dramatically affect time to market and
profitability. The VISTA process brings order to this reality.
Simply put, it is a process driven, tool enabled, quality
standard for software engineering with a heavy emphasis on
reuse.
VISTA employs best practices and quality standards through
a highly interactive process involving consulting, training,
reuse, and configuration management.
Data Science Automation is a VISTA Select member, and authorized
to sell, consult and instruct in the VISTA software engineering
philosophy. Available products include:
- VISTA Productivity Tools for LabVIEW
- VISTA Configuration Management Tool Suite
- VISTA Software Reuse Tool Suite
For organizations that embark on a VISTA campaign, the outcome
can be higher quality and productivity, more control over
existing processes, and less time invested in completing each
development assignment. Call or email DSA for more information.
With so many options, in our Software Engineering consulting
and implementation efforts, we carefully analyze and consider
each of these factors in designing the best overall solution
with the lowest TOTAL cost of ownership for our clients.
